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.
