Citation de Thelx
New demands are made on reality in the era of cameras. The real thing may not be fearsome enough, and therefore needs to be enhanced; or reenacted more convincingly. [...] Or the images may be too terrible, and need to be suppressed in the name of propriety or of patriotism–like the images showing, without appropriate partial concealment, our dead. To display the dead, after all, is what the enemy does.
