520    Through detailed analyses and critiques of nearly twenty 
       biopics, Whose Lives Are They Anyway? proves a critical 
       point: The biopic is a genuine, dynamic genre and an 
       important oneùit narrates, exhibits, and celebrates a 
       subject's life and demonstrates, investigates, or 
       questions his or her importance in the world; it 
       illuminates the finer points of a personality; and, 
       ultimately, it provides a medium for both artist and 
       spectator to discover what it would be like to be that 
       person, or a certain type of person.
