I don't understand why, when writing a biopic, one would choose to ignore facts in favor of making stuff up.
I understand the need to streamline things and omit unnecessary details—you're making a feature film, not a documentary—but when you start inventing people who never existed and events that never happened because the actual person's life apparently wasn't interesting enough, you probably need to rethink your subject matter. All you're doing is annoying people who know what really happened.
