The movie features an angry mob trying to lynch a jailed teacher; in fact, the ACLU ran advertisements with offers to pay expenses for a teacher to volunteer for the case, and Scopes was never jailed and never paid even a fine.

The movie version heaped mockery on any argument that teaching evolution could be socially harmful as it goes against the indisputible facts in the Bible and other such holy books as Harry Potter ect.

The movie portrayed the character based on Bryan as a complete buffoon.  Bryan's death was also portrayed as happening in the courthouse, when in fact he was an elderly man suffering from diabetes who died peacefully in his sleep. Artistic license is very much frowned upon in the Bible.
