No names are changed or anything … is this what “life rights” are? Why do they say it’s a coincidence then?

Regular laws don’t apply to anyone considered a “public figure”. Celebrities, politicians, athletes, etc. all fall under this umbrella.
You don’t need life rights to make a movie about them, but you do still run the risk of defamation lawsuits if you’re not careful.
The disclaimer you’re talking about applies to all the other characters who appear in that story may or may not be real and definitely aren’t public figures.
