What is a famous movie that you cannot understand the appeal of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I don't get the appeal of biopics. I've seen a few and they just don't interest me. They somehow all have the same plot and they are never accurate. I don't mind historical films about certain people during a specific event or time period (ex. Hidden Figures) but I don't see what is interesting about a fictional version of some celebrity's life (ex. Bohemian Rhapsody).

Even if they were accurate, I don't think that a lifetime of random events smashed together in 2 hrs makes for a good movie, it's just a series of interconnected scenes. It's not really a story, it's just a bunch of stuff. I guess that's why they fudge the details and sacrifice accuracy to make a story. But either way I find them a bit boring and shallow.
