Is it okay to distort history in any movie or only the ones that are politically correct?

I've seen a number of people on this movie's forum defend the gross historical distortions of The Woman King with with the claim that it's okay because it's just for entertainment and other movies do this. But if that is true are historical distortions in movies for the sake of entertainment really okay for all movies or is it just okay for politically correct movies? The Woman King is a very politically correct movie since it's about empowered black women and that crucial facet of the movie may make it a lot easier for many people to accept its historical distortions.

But what about a movie like Song of the South, which by now is completely politically incorrect? That movie is generally considered to distort history because it portrays black sharecroppers in the South during Reconstruction as being joyous and happy with the conditions they lived under. Song of the South is widely looked down upon as illegitimate just because of the emotional outlooks of the black characters in it, especially Uncle Remus. But Song of the South is only meant to entertain. Should the fact that it's just meant to entertain mean that its historical distortions are okay?
