Not only motion picture. Ediso was a business man. In all ways: He did NOT invent the lightbulb (Joseph Swan,Jean Foucault, Humphrey Davy, J.W. Starr, likely Heinrich Goebel) he did NOT invent the current electric power generation system (Nikola Tesla) Oh, a "nice" film from edison here on youtube: ua-cam.com/video/RkBU3aYsf0Q/v-deo.html "Electrocuting an Elephant" He invented a few important things but most of what he accomplished relied on other peoples’ ingenuity and his own marketing skills.
