Well, some are fictional characters, such as Freddie, Jason. Some are not, such as Aileen Wournos (Monster babe) and Ted Bundy. Freddie and Jason films are purely made for entertainment, and not to provide information on the human condition, as lived by some people. I'll admit that I have never, what I consider wasted my time, with those films.

On the other hand, Monster was not made to entertain. It was made to provide some theory as to how someone went from point A, seemingly normal, to point B, a depraved killer. You may meet an Aileen or a Ted in your life. For all we disagree, I hope you do not (or, at least until I am ready to upgrade my pre-amp.)

These films were made to generate debate as to how the subject got to what they became. Was it society? Themselves? Inherent? The only questions I can imagine asking in the Freddie and Jason films is whether the chick got naked before they hacked her. But those two groups of films do not belong in the same basket.

I do not recall recently viewing any foreign films (other than some films from the Far east) that attempt to provide any commentary or explanation on modern society. Which is a shame, because Europe has its fair share of issues.
