Is banning something really the right response to a story told imperfectly?
Of course biopics distort facts — that's what happens when you compress a whole life into two hours. But from a utilitarian view, they do far more good than harm. They inspire people, introduce audiences to figures they'd never research, and often spark genuine public conversation about history. The remedy for distortion isn't censorship, it's better criticism and more films offering different perspectives. Banning them punishes everyone because some filmmakers cut corners. That feels like using a sledgehammer where a conversation would do.
