How to use fictional in a sentence?

  1. Wes Anderson:

  3. Andrew Evangelista:

  4. Joaquin Phoenix:

    The attraction to make this film and this character was that we were going to approach it in our own way so for me I didn't refer to any past creations of the character, i did identify Arthur as a particular personality but then I also wanted the freedom to create something that wasn't identifiable. This is a fictional character and I didn't want a psychiatrist to be able to identify the kind of person he was.

  5. Cavalier Johnson:

    It is important not to feel numbed by the ongoing violence in our community, a horrible crime has again occurred, and it is not a movie or a fictional account. These victims died in our city, in one of our neighborhoods.
