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.
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.
