Der schusselige Beau à la Hugh Grant war mal. Der Auftragskiller ist der neue romantische Held im Kino. Warum das zeitgemäß ist – und ein bisschen gefährlich.
The article " Auftragskiller sind die neuen Romantiker" (Contract Killers Are the New Romantics) discusses the surprising romanticization of hitmen in popular culture.
The main idea is that despite the brutality of their actions, hitmen are increasingly portrayed in media as attractive, skilled, and even charming, appealing to a sense of dark romanticism. This trend is exemplified by phrases like "Du killst so schn, willst du mich heiraten?" (You kill so beautifully, will you marry me?) which illustrates the perverse fascination some have with this type of romanticization.
The article raises questions about why this phenomenon is occurring and its potential implications for society's perception of violence.
