IrishThe true story: a married couple enter the woods where the wife is attacked by a bear. The husband tries to fight the bear off, stabbing it ~10 times. He sustains heavy injuries, but his wife takes the brunt of the attack. He carries her to a small boat and gets them to safety, but it's sadly too late for his wife.
The movie: Dumbass boyfriend gets lost in the woods. A handsome Irishman threatens his masculinity so he acts like a jackass to his girlfriend, who calls him out on it. She goes on a rant about how much of a stupid loser he is and then he proposes to her. They are attacked by a bear and the man is killed while the woman does nothing. She runs away while her fiancée gets eaten. When she makes it back to safety the handsome Irish guy is there to comfort her.
A true story about a couple struggling to survive and a man trying to save his wife is turned into a movie about a dumb loser and his "bad ass" girlfriend. I wouldn't have been upset if it weren't for the movie being "based on a true story" while having nothing in common with the actual event other than having a guy and a girl in the woods
