Tales before and after

If tales are based on personal or narrated experience, imagination, creativity, originality, ingenuity, respect, love, I would love to be entertained by them. But today's tales are based on unscrupulous surveillance, information theft and robbery, play with the lives of unsuspecting people, need organ theft and murder. Mind you: My problem is not that the tales are about the evil in the world, and I admire the genius of the authors, but that the production participants sort of have a common cause with the perpetrators is mine Problem.

Since I know that, I can no longer enjoy films, novels, radio plays and the like with naive fascination, but rather imagine the presumed circumstances of the information gathering, the intentions and goals of the information gatherers, authors and producers, as well as the possible effects of the art product on the unsuspecting Monitored before.

For the artists this is probably an accepted basis; they are only interested in the artistic transformation of the bare information into an entertainment product that is as successful as possible.
