I have had a policy throughout my entire adult life to never see a movie or read a book about a prominent person whom I've known. (Like Jim Jones or Harvey Milk). The same is true for movies or books about people whom I know to be very bright or extraordinary in some way that I understand.(Like Alan Turing).
My reasoning was simple. Such books and movies, especially documentaries are made by people who have significantly less intelligence and understanding than I do.
That means I am looking at parts of my life experience and my worldview with tinted glasses on. There is no reason to do that, and I don't. It is similar to my refusal to read comic books that are summary versions of great books such as Shakespearean plays or Tolstoy’s fiction.
It turns out that I am not alone in this behavior. George Lucas felt the same way. Which is what led him to make his own films outside the studio system. Here is the quote from Lucas:
“Studio executives generally are not the most sophisticated people in the world…you do not want to be oppressed by people who are not as smart as you are and I’m dumb,” said Lucas.
