LIVE POLL: The Men Who Changed the World Biopics

Which of these selected biographical movies* about a man who literally changed the world inspires you the most? *Multiple biopics may exist for each individual, but only one biopic is listed per world-changing man and may include movies presented as miniseries with a <5 hour total running time.

Answer pool biopics are selected based on a combination of biopic popularity, endeavor type, degree of world change and how inspirational the story is. A relatively simple question, but it can be complicated by relative perspectives. These disruptors can run the gamut from having a very positive influence to having a very negative influence on the world. As well as the importance of different types of game-changing endeavors (spiritual, military, political, scientific, business, artistic, exploration, social change, etc.) carry, both for the benefit and the detriment of humankind and how individual poll takers, may or may not, find these endeavors to be inspirational.

urbanemovies,

Have you make this list public: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls064062759/ ?

I'm receiving this error message when I try to access this list:
This list is not public

Yes, I set the list up to allow me to do a person-based Image version, when I moved the suggestion over from the old boards. The preferred option would depend on the final wording the question took, It was listed to provide some flexibility, if I chose to focus more on the person in the final wording of the question. it remains an empty, private list that could be set up if needed.

As of now, the question reads: Which of these biographical movies or mini-series about a man who literally changed the world inspires you the most?

Since, the focus is on the biographical movie, a title based poll is preferred.

Biopics selected based on a combination of biopic popularity, endeavor type, degree of world change and how inspirational the story is. A relatively simple question, but it can be complicated by relative perspective. The importance different types of game-changing endeavors (spiritual, military, political, scientific, business, artistic, exploration, social change, etc.) carry, both for the benefit and the detriment of mankind. As well as, how individual poll takers, may or may not, find these endeavors to be inspirational. You don't change the world without cracking a few eggs, so to speak.

i could see both, Tesla and Shakespeare on some kind split off this suggestion, like Inspirational Men's History Trailblazer Biopics  or  Inspirational Men's History Writer Biopics. The bar if this remains a single poll is going to be pretty high. Tesla made the Live Poll: Favorite Real Life Inventor Biopic, but that biopic was not as good or as high-profile as the one starring Ethan Hawke  coming out.

There is no doubting his world changing impact, but if you believe this poll, whether he had a positive impact is subjective????

Hitler no doubt changed the world. If anyone finds the movie Downfall inspirational, though, it is probably because they like watching his downfall.

In relation to Hitler and Nazism, a statement like "You don't change the world without cracking a few eggs" might be considered offensive.

@Peter_pbn​ I removed the sentence "You don't change the world without cracking a few eggs, so to speak." and replaced it with "These disruptors can run the gamut from having a very positive influence to having a very negative influence on the world." in the middle of the paragraph.
