That is an interesting rational for seeing a movie.
What are the odds of "this kid" meeting you and asking specific questions about the movie that you could only answer if you saw the movie?
Would there be any questions about aircraft that you
could not answer without seeing the movie? I don't think so.
If a mythical kid would ever come up to me and say "boy in that movie it was great, that P-40 went straight up and almost broke the sound barrier" I would be able to correct the kid without ever seeing the movie.
I would not have to see the erroneous scene to be able to explain reality to the kid.
Come to think about it, in my 50 years, I can't remember any kid coming up to me and asking me about any historical movie. At least not the kids in my neighbourhood.
So I am not following you on how seeing the movie is necessary to be able to answer any questions some mythical kid might have.
See the movie if you want to, but to justify it as necessary to be prepared to answer some kids question at some time is a bit far fetched.
