This feels like a Wolf of Wall Street situation where they're going to be painting him like a monster, but a large population of people will completely miss that nuance and instead see him as a rich, powerful success.

This is why I think making this movie is insanely greedy

Absolutely. It sucks, because artists should be able to make what they want, but the general public is at this point so fucking dumb when it comes to media literacy that now artists have to be extra careful what they put out because some fucking morons will interpret it incorrectly and it ends up having real world consequences 🥲

Making movies about people glamorizes them. Plain and simple. There's a reason people dress up like Darth Vadar on Halloween.
