Like the horror movies are meant to glorify whatever the subject is. Meh.

Well, it would be like saying all directors of horror movies about demonic possession are glorifying or promoting the idea of Satan, in real life, possessing and killing people... what a bizarre way to think about film and entertainment. The only responsibility of a storyteller is to tell an interesting and compelling story - nothing more. Authors and directors don't need to spell morality out for us... if anything, that's pretty damn insulting to the consumer.

edit:

Art is free expression. Granted, we can all decide whether or not we find something enjoyable, or whether or not we even wish to call it "art." But this idea that to make a "bad guy" a protagonist is automatically glorifying the actions, thoughts and words of that "bad guy," is total nonsense. I'm not sure where people even come up with saying something like that. Often an artist is simply responding to something within - they're writing a story because something compels them to do so. They're driven by a force that they may not even understand. And as you write or create a story, you also have to think about how it's going to connect with an audience... I mean... if you want that story to have any kind of commercial success, that is. So yeah, mob movies sell tickets. that doesn't mean that the director, and producers, and writers and co-writers automatically want to glorify the mob and the violent shit it's done over the years. I am just totally baffled by that line of thinking. I don't even understand how someone can believe that.

Maybe this individual should watch the Disney Channel exclusively. LOL not really sure what else to say.
