Isn't this the cult of the authentic? Which itself
will always end up being another part of the stage.
'Remember ladies and gentlemen these men and women are
not actors, what you are seeing is absolutely real'
but of course it isn't. It is just a bit real. The
hyper reality of a man getting hit on the head by a
motorcycle fascinates us naturally as something new,
not often seen, but it is no more authentic and real
than you sitting there watching it. The same goes for
traffic accidents, a collision of empathy and
surprise, mortaltity on view and fascination. Cars
don't usually look like that. Bodies rarely do that.
