well like i said, people believe a true story and they'll listen to its morality. A sci-fi for example can accomplish the same thing but only in grande humanity. An episode of startrek that deals with beings that have sex constantly but never mix emotions with intercourse, a movie about an alien that visits earth as part of a police orginization to stop all planets from war (and if you dont stop, you're destroyed) and things of that nature are well recieved in science fiction but personal struggles of the metaphysical or 'real' people with real issues dont translate well to science fiction. Even when you hop over to other genres like romance or dramas you're still looking at entertainment. Wholly fabricated for your enjoyment.
no one watches Titanic and thinks about the morality or personal struggles, it's a movie. But show them a documenntary on 20/20 about north Korean life and its a totally different story; People will actually demand action, write to congress, get pissed and say 'why dont we do something?' and it sparks morality in people. I could release two versions of the same book from a true story, one about a man in a north Korean prison waiting to be executed and one about a Fuh on the artificial moon colony who is being Mind Danced until his execution which has the same exact story just told in different ways and one will be viewed as entertainment and one will be viewed as a heartfelt message from an atrocity.
