Dramatic license

Dramatic license refers to the creative freedom writers, directors, and producers take to alter or omit real-life facts, events, or details to serve the story better. It allows for deviations from strict accuracy to enhance drama, suspense, or thematic impact. While factual fidelity is sometimes sacrificed, the intention is to engage viewers emotionally or thematically. This is common in movies, plays, and TV shows when creators prioritize storytelling and artistic expression over precise realism, often with an understanding that the audience recognizes these artistic choices.
