Ankesh,

Thanks for trying to clarify.

Let me first state... Models do NOT create any context. They are Hired by designers to be living Coat Hangers for garments. That is all.


Society-Concious? I don't understand this term would you explain it please?

I Do understand what you are getting at...

Bourne appears to be like the average guiy just trying to get by, while Bond is so much Not the average guy. So WE are viewers, have less empathy for Bond than Bourne... we can Relate more to Bourne on a personal level than Bond.

Regarding Reality TV - an oxymoron? - I think there is an element of Voyuerism at play there as well, which cannot be discounted. The same element that sees people in Apartment buildings look into an apartment if the front door is open, when they are walking down the hall. Also, when people see other people do silly things, they - the viewer - doesn't feel as bad about their own silly-thing-ness.
