Some feel that movies and tv shows are a good way to study history despite their lack of historical accuracy at times. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Movies
and TV shows are believed to be an alternative way to help people learn
history
, though their certainty is not guaranteed. In my opinion,
movies

information can be wrong and let us think improperly. With the help of the media,

can be more interesting and attract more people to learn.

Moreover
, sometimes printed historical books are too theoretical, tedious and abstract to learn as they barely contain words, especially for those who have dyslexia.
However
, if the content of the historical
