Point is that when you are the guy who just saved the entire U.S. Govt. from going bankrupt by giving them money...you REALLY do own the govt. and can do as you please.
These days, the Govt. is the one who is a thousand times bigger than the richest companies in the world and THEY do the bailing out. The govt. is the power now.
But back then, it was the robber barons like JP Morgan.
I'm not sure what you are saying might be "whitewashed" since they covered the corruption, the massive deaths of workers, the horrible poverty, and the backstabbing and manipulations that these men used to get what they wanted.
What might they be missing or have "whitewashed"?
As I watched it I was simultaneously amazed, horrified, disgusted, envious, and even admired them.
Kinda like watching The Sopranos back in the day...you found yourself "liking' the bad guys. lol
