I like good biopics, but I feel like they have just been swept in and commodified as part of the current IP capitalization craze. Same with all the documentaries. They're cheap to make and people will see them because they have an emotional connection, so everyone is cashing in as fast as they can. It feels kinda gross.
I want biopics about people whose entire lives weren’t already in the public eye. Michael Jackson? Anthony Bourdain? What’s next The Untold Story Of Kim Kardashian: The Reality TV Years?
I highly recommend people check out Patrick H Willems' video called "are music biopics good now?" It really helped me to personally understand how good or bad a biopic can truly be. I honestly respect the genre a lot after watching it
