    Sure, but the traditional definition is based on a real hostage situation and it is specifically based on how those people acted while still being held hostage. Once they were free it turned out that they didn't actually enjoy being held hostage and didn't love their captors. Convincing their kidnappers that they were on their side is pretty much all they were doing.
