BOATS

BOATS is an acronym standing for "Based On A True Story," commonly used to describe movies, documentaries, and books. This designation signifies that, although there may be elements of dramatization for narrative effect, the core events, characters, or premises are anchored in real-life occurrences. The term adds a layer of authenticity and intrigue, suggesting that the depicted events have a factual basis, thus enhancing the emotional or educational impact on the audience.
"Have you seen 'Catch Me If You Can'? It's about this incredible con artist who pulled off some of the most audacious scams in history, posing as a pilot, a doctor, and a legal prosecutor—all before his 19th birthday. And guess what? It's BOATS. Leonardo DiCaprio plays the lead, and it's based on the true story of Frank Abagnale. Really puts the whole adventure into perspective knowing it actually happened."

"People keep trying to convince me 'National Treasure' is BOATS, claiming the secret codes and historical conspiracies are real. While the movie uses historical figures and events, it’s largely a work of fiction. Still, imagining it could be true adds to the thrill!"
