Should Hollywood be prevented from making stupid people even more stupid, by being prevented from making historically inaccurate films?

Pearl Harbour -where to begin?
U571 - No Americans were involved in the real event, something the families or the veterans protested on its launch.
Braveheart - You can’t have a love affair with someone who is actually only 9yo and living in another country, paint your face with a flag that doesn’t exist yet or where kilts that nobody wore for another 300 years.
The Patriot - insert Nazi war crimes that never happened because otherwise the audience didn’t think the redcoats were bad. (Church full of people burned)
Captain Philips - wasn’t the brave hero but actually messed up and put the lives of his crew in danger.
Titanic - Crewman shooting disorderly passengers didn’t happen. The studio apologies to the family of the man portrayed but didn’t change it.
10000BC. - Wholly mammoths in a desert, building pyramids that wouldn’t exist for another 8,000 years.
Apocalypto - A film about Mayans apparently acting like Aztecs meetings Spaniards they wouldn’t come in to contact with for centuries.

IMO, Hollywood has always been a propaganda tool for the CIA. It is used to change the hearts and minds of the American people and beyond. Thankfully the industry is in decline but other sources like Netflix, is taking their place. This will never change. Interested people can research this:)

@Oster1 😆 movies were 1st made in Hollywood in the 1910s and the CIA was created in 1947 - pretty weird conspiracy theory anyway

@tindrummer You really think you caught me on something? You are only referring to a name change of the same department. The OSS was before the CIA. Navel and military intelligence was before that. Learn your history before trying to denigrate someone else. Laugh and throw out conspiracies all you want. I am not your researcher. I stated my opinion and you are entitled to yours.
