    It would be better to have war crimes trials to show how fucked up specific wars are.

    Being able to make movies showcasing your past crimes is not a sign of a healthy society…

      Again, this is not the government typically making these movies. It’s artists which are horrified by war.

      I think the point of these movies are to inform the public of the brutality of war, and how shitty our government can be. It’s purpose is to shine a light on it, which I do think is pretty useful. Otherwise, most of us may not have known about it, and would have a very different/heavily filtered view of our government.
