I watched a well made, interesting movie last night called Prey.

It's based on true events. A mother and two kids get stranded in the African bush after their ranger guide gets killed by lions. Then the lions surround their jeep.

The movie is available on Tubi for free. There are a couple of other movies with the same name so look for the one about Africa.

Another good true movie on Tubi is Black Water.

About a small tourist boat that gets overturned by a large crocodile in the wilds of Australia. They have to scramble into low hanging trees with the crocodile waiting for them underneath.

There are a couple of other movies with the same name....look for the crocodile one.

Tubi has a free app (also website). I don't have a smart TV but you can cast their movies onto your TV.

They also have a large faith and family category of movies.

I watched The Deceivers on Tubi. Based on true events. Interesting and informative. Filmed in India.

In 1825 India, a British officer goes undercover to infiltrate a murderous cult of the Indian goddess Kali.

These thugs that followed Kali would join caravan travelers pretending to be fellow travelers just to rob and then kill them.

For some scenes I used the forward arrow a bit.

It took twenty years to eradicate this murderous cult in India. They claimed two million victims! History I had never heard of before.

Movie - “Hacksaw Ridge”.

Based on the true story of “Desmond Doss”, who joined the Army, (WWII), but refused to carry a rifle. (Religious). Is an outcast by his fellow soldiers and commanding officers. Attempted to be booted out of Service and court marshaled…
He ends up single handedly rescuing and estimated 75 soldiers left for dead on a high ridge in Japan. Begins with a bit of back story of his youth, Parents and brother, rescuing a man inured and meeting his future wife.

Just finished watching The German Doctor on Tubi and I recommend it. It's the true story of Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor, after he fled to Argentina and an Argentine family unknowingly rented to him.

It's well made, very interesting and good acting.

Free on Tubi app or website.

I think most movies that are based on true storys are full of BS !

I think the best movie of such, maybe Ty Cobb. it's all full of BS but goes some what to understand the man ? but does not go far enough truly in depth, but he is truly inspiring ! but most couch potatos do not get it truly at all but only see what is seen as the bad man ! because they are half asleep and just subjected to the trends of todays world being the issue ?
What cought my eye about his life was not what most would be barking on about ?

So I can not get this on DVD etc in Austrtalia because it's banned ! dubbed racist material, for that's the only thing that jumps out at a slob moron with no brain power behind them.

But I seen a Man of the era and I was keen to know more regarding him, because he is so bright ! maybe nasty as well but I wanted to know what made him tick, he was of intrest and of that era ? how he made his money and who and why did he know to invest and not only that he made big money out of the Game ! he was so bright !

My wife got the Babe Ruth DVD of late and how uninspiring dull and stupid sick a man he was, Ty was correct about Ruth.

Look most very wealthy people are bastards but they may not be stupid ? In the show it talks about Greatness ! that's what is insperational about people and things to me. it could be a car a bike but for all good reasons or some good reasons as to why that is so.

I like Dr Smith in Lost in Space ! because of him ! but most people just think he is a nobody ? but look deeper into his life and he is truly inspiring in fact ! he is not a layabout brain dead fool, he has insight and masterful ! he can make something of light out of nothing ? he is a word smith as well.

Are you able to load the Tubi app or watch Tubi website there? The true stories I have watched on Tubi are very good.

The other day I watched one about Chernobyl and how they had to send people into the radioactive water to get the water to drain... otherwise there would be a radioactive explosion when the meltdown hit the water.

You can bring up the true stories genre section on Tubi under the explore option.

I really recommend The German Doctor though, about Mengele the infamous Nazi doctor.

Isn't that a documentary?
I thought it was, but I might be wrong.

"The German Doctor" is a free movie on Tubi...very well made and interesting. Tubi also has documentaries on the Holocaust, etc, but The German Doctor is a movie.

You can also type a movie name into the search box under the explore option and the movie appears.

I may watch this movie. No doubt, there is some truth in it, but also hiding the truth of where Mengele went after the war. He was brought to the US to help head up MK Ultra. He didn't die until around 1982, and was instrumental in my early programming. My main programmer, Michael Aquino, was his top protege.

Anyway, I'm curious about the movie. I wonder if there is a movie that tells what happened after he was brought to the US .. I doubt it. Although, the series "Stranger Things" is "fiction" based on the true events that took place at Montauk.

Yes.

But … but… but … I often research the Actual Event…to discover the true facts from the “script writer’s” added fantasy.

Regarding Disappointing, Biblical movies, “that IMPLY”, they are based on True Biblical Events, regarding Named Biblical Characters…regularly have scenes, that “imply they are Biblical, but are Not”.

Glory to God,
Taken

Shows with Things like that make me feel sick !
I know about such things, not to mention all of the evil in regards the UK and the USA and even Australia and it's totaly Evil expementing games that have been played on people !
The Nazis are pointed out as doing X,Y and Z but all Nations have did the same sorts of dog cunning experments in fact ! not to mention the latest in regards COVID is another abomination that most people can not see was a Game play on us all ! and I hope it is all exposed so such never happens again ! Such was truly worthy of a Nazi experment ! I identified it directly right from the start for I do understand the Nature of such cunning dogs, but I found out that I go more understanding from living it ? in regards to how the majority of people think ? because they are truly gutless ! and they hide from reality or the Truth in fact and live in denial in fact !

So when I heard of German people of the era of WW2 reject what had gone on under the Nazis ? Well well just look at the whole subject Covid, it's the same reaction ! to close ones eyes to it all ! why well they are pathetic ! the same was with regards Roman Catholics etc when I pointed out child molesting Priest in the 1970's All I got back was condemnation for bring us such an issue ! they could not give a rats in fact ! they thought I was attacking Them ? I was not at all, but bring an issue up ? and all I got a 3rd rate idiot responce back.

2025 Is no more awake to all such issues and such threats than ever before in fact, even more pathetic than ever !

The Churches of today have only possioned themselves better nowadays so as to conduct themselves smarter on any case regarding child molesting in fact !
That majority of people believe that all of the exposure of covering ups etc was all delt with ! are total morons in fact ! clearly they do not have a clue of the reality that was truly played out ! It was all a Game Played on the majority, so as to believe all has been sorted out now ! That's the biggest load of BS ever !
They of such have only got way smarter, that's all that truly has come about from it all ! the generations now molested and to come will only be worse off in fact !
Hopefuly Trump will expose all of the games that are played on this issue as well !

I tryed to explain all such to a mate up the road and he only is intune with what the MSM say ! it's like no no you do not understand It's all sorted out, for he watched it all going on on TV, I said so did I boy ! and do not try and lord it over me ! as if the MSM know best ? like he believes and Idolises not to mention is fool and swallower of every one of the COVID Games played out like in a Nazi fasion ! because he is a typical Socialist dipstick. he can not truly think for himself, because he has never had a Job where he truly had to think outside of the box.
He was a Union man and they never question anything, because they think they are the elite ! just as the people of Nazi Germany were played ?
They think they know better ! so have no regards anything other than they are primed for, period ! and they try to stand over everyone and demand every one follow their demands. or you are made out to be stupid ! or a danger to everyone ! Some one is not following along with the orders ! when such is only just blind faith on their part, because they are just simple minded dupes in fact !

I watched another movie based on true events. It's called Infidel starring Jim Caviezel.

About a Christian blogger who goes to Egypt to speak and ends up kidnapped by Hezbollah. He's imprisoned first in Lebanon and finally in Iran. His wife goes to Iran to try to get his release.

Free on Tubi app or website.

I have watched this movie probably a dozen times. A very good movie about persecution in China.
