It's not exactly a new phenomenon. It's not even the first film about Oppenheimer, while films about Napoleon are nearly as old as film. There are always going to be historical inaccuracies. Sometimes that matters, sometimes it doesn't. Recounting history is often not the point.
There have been films in this category that annoyed me (The Imitation Game slandered Turing in such a toxic way that I have no idea what the creators of that film were thinking), but if proscribing them means no George C. Scott playing Patton, I'm out.

What's the point of these pseudohistorical or bollocks biographical movies like now Oppenheimer?
Why do I need to watch a film and then read up about the real events and how much of
the film was made up?
