The paper deals with screen fictional violence (TV and cinema). The analysis focuses on the genres of gangster, war, horror and action films. The interesting point in the paper is the evolution of means of violence visualization, until the postmodernist version without context or interpretation. The psychology of reception and the paradox of receptive pleasures drawn from watching brutal scenes are analyzed in the paper. The author underlines the variety of explanations and sources of this kind of pleasures. However, one must admit that there is more than one universal theory in this field.

The article discusses the application of Gadamer's concept of indistinctiveness to the photography and soap-opera. It may be quite astonishing that the same perceptual mechanism connects photography and soap-opera. We can say that this is a veristic attitude. Receivers of both media have serious problems in distinguishing between performance or photographical image and the real live, between fiction and documentary. Nowadays, digital techniques of simulations allow us to create virtual reality and present it in the mass media. But it seems to be very different case from indistinctiveness between art and real live. The game of simulation is based on the ability to produce the illusion without any connection with real, material background.
