The Power of the Dog is based on the 1967 novel of the same name by Thomas Savage. Thomas saturated his works with his personal experiences, and the film does its best to stay faithful to the source material, including its themes and plotlines. Thomas was born in Idaho but eventually moved to a Montana ranch and reportedly used his novels to address the bigotry he saw embedded in western towns.Article continues below advertisementSource: Netflix Many of Savage's characters also reflect tropes and people from his own life, including his mother.

Much like Kirsten Dunst's character in The Power of the Dog, Elizabeth Yearian was an alcoholic who remarried a rancher and relocated to a farm with her son.
