Why was the story watered down in Nobody Knows (2004, Japan)?
The movie Nobody Knows was based on an actual event, which apparently was considerably more horrific (Wikipedia) than the story depicted in the movie.
So why did the director-writer choose to water it down? I found this curious, since this is the exact opposite of the usual practice (at least Hollywood) where movies based on true events are usually exaggerated.
