As film viewership precipitously replaces book reading it is paramount that even fictitious stories based on known history honor the tradition of factual history. But even historical events lay pray to interpretation and creative story telling. The victors of a war, for example, get privilege of writing their own conclusion. For example, president G.W. Busch proudly declared on the deck of a naval air carrier, "Mission accomplished!" Even though all living humans know that is furthest from the truth, the media clippings covering that day are a historical record that have a very long shelf-life and far reaching consequences!

What are the roles of movies in society today?

Movies are mainly for the purpose of entertainment. Though many claim to be based on fact they are stylised and are biased toward the opinion of the makers of the movie and each should be not be taken as factual without further research. It is a reflection on the public perception and gullibility, not of the movie industry, that so many believe what they see at the cinema.

Are history films a good source of information?

Yes and No... Some movies (if they are historically accurate) will give you the idea on how the things were back then. It will make an image in your mind which helps you have a clearer idea of that situation... but usually movies are not very historically accurate, because they want to make the story more interesting so they add stuff to it or change some stuff, this way, it makes it less accurate and true. I recommend documentaries to movies if you are looking for something reliable and accurate.
