How far a story is from a storyteller?

I think that a storyteller has may compromise his/her beliefs in a story to appeal to certain audience, however i also think that as storytellers the author or director has a picture in his/her mind of how they believe the character should be like. Furthermore by compromising ones beliefs it lets things that usually wouldn't surface come to light. Though it may all be foe the consumer the best movies, plays, and the best tv shows are those that have a true aspect to them. The best chracters are those that are based off of other people that one has encountered or was in life and then when told in a story are hyperbolized to fit whatever is being written. I don't think that a story is too far away from the author's own experince and/or observations, because if they weren't then a lot of movies and tv shows would just be remixes of shows. I understand that there are those types of shows, but they all have their own twist because they all see things differently and they have a chioce to either let a reader in to their soul or to let them take things in bits and pieces.
