That's not true. All Moore is guilty of is taking perspective. That's no different to what any other documentarian does - including the ones u listed. mockumentary and docutainment are meaningless titles. You seen the french documentary Etre et Avoir? It's a documented account of life at a school in a small French village. The film maker deliberately took the perspective of displaying the tender relationship between the teacher and the pupisl and the cycle of learning and growing up. Nevertheless, the teacher in that film sued the documentary film makers for misrepresenting him. For making him look "holier" than he actually was. His own experience as a teacher was so different to the experience of outside film makers. That doesn't make him any more right - or even the documentary film makers. If it's so difficult to understand this collossul idea that is truth in real life - how are u gonna be able to grasp it in an always opinionated vision of a film maker? That dictionary definition is flawed because it defines what a documentary pertains to be. The reality is very different.
