My objection to these historical drama pieces is that even supposedly intelligent, educated people accept them, on some level, as real, and thus have a distorted view of history. Therein lies the propaganda value of such films. If you want to destroy a country or culture, you simply make movies, plays, etc. that cast their historical figures in whichever light you want them seen.
I look forward to the 2184 movie Hussein; audiences will delightedly watch the life and times of the amazing composer-president and his rival Bush.
