So should war movies not exist? I think it’s important to convey history through other mediums than just reading. A textbook about war will never be able to convey the horrors of it as well as a good, historically accurate film can

I don't like war movies so I'm probably biased. I've never really watched a war film and was like "man, that was great"

I’m not a fan of war movies either but I think they have a good reason to exist and the propaganda aspect is an unfortunate side effect that I don’t think can be fixed

Make a documentary and use real footage of war crimes.

The masses would never watch that

...Though that very sentiment is why these films can often feel like propaganda, so yeah I’m seeing where you’re coming from

Oh I think they should definitely exist but I've never watched one and thought "yeah, I believe that happened." Unfortunate side effect I suppose.

What about films that aren’t about war necessarily but about awful sections of history? Schindler’s List, 12 Years a Slave, etc

That's a fair argument and honestly, I can't not agree because Schindlers List is a fantastic representation of what happened in that time. Definitely one of my favorite movies for sure.
