This post has a weird thing going on where it seems to be fictional-evidencing all the time as a learning tool, but it IS still fictional evidence and saying it isn’t because people chose to write it feels like when people say “Oh, so I was wrong, but the fact that I could even make that mistake shows I wasn’t all wrong, right?”
I agree. It’s strange how otherwise highly intelligent people fall into the trap of using Hollywood movies as a learning tool. Especially given the fact that fiction is often harmful for your mind, and given the fact that the Hollywood fiction in particular is harmful in several additional ways.
There is nothing useful one can learn from the listed movies, unless you’re specifically studying mass media (e.g. as a movie maker or a sociologist). For every mentioned topic, it’s better to grab a non-fiction book.
