In the movie Inside Man, was the holocaust story true?

Question

The story about the Jewish banker who bought his wife the Cartier ring?

Answer 1

I'm not sure...if a high profile banker was caught in a scandal as big as that, I think more people would have heard about it.

But the writer had to have gotten the idea from somewhere, so maybe there is a little truth to it and they just made it more exciting/controversial for the movie?

Answer 2

I don't think anything in the movie was based on actual events, but that whole subplot of the film (the bank vault, the diamonds, the Holocaust, the long-buried secret) seems to be borrowed from the movie "Marathon Man." It's one of several 1970s New York City-set crime dramas ("Dog Day Afternoon" is another) to which "Inside Man" is clearly paying homage.

Answer 3

Although they say that truth is stranger than fiction, much fiction is derived from true happenings. I haven't seen that particular movie, but my guess is, the story could have been taken from true events. There are many stories that have been derived from early European migration to the United States, some of it true and some of it fiction. But if it's a good story that captures and holds your interest, does it really matter whether it's true or not?

Answer 4

Ann Frank is in keeping together with her existence, not each and every thing interior the action picture befell yet maximum of that's genuine based off her diary she saved and the daddy telling thoughts after he became relesed.

Answer 5

i highly doubt it. the movie itself was lame.
