on moves that they seem like a documentary but yet you hear about how some was not true ... so don't you believe that if your doing something like a movie... you would want to make it all factual if the topic was important enough to you ... or do they just put more drama in it ...so it can hold your attention more to make the non truth seem real life ... there have been a view movies I have watched or wanted to but feel like there just for entertainment and not what really happened ... and should you just say that about ever movie that you may go to see ... there is really no truth to this movie just for entertainment ... because the truth is or was so contorted in the first place...

I believe in all documentaries there will be some fiction I don't care how hard they try to keep it factual...The problem lies inherently with the fact that the film is made by humans and humans even if they try to totally honest can't be since their own emotions and inflections will be there...

In saying that I have watched other documentaries that well are just to sell pictures,make money or sensationalize the issue...

You can't go wrong with BBC/Discovery/Disney's Nature Films.

It's amazing what those film makers put themselves through to capture the unforeseen beauty that we don't see everyday.

thanks ... your right about putting their own emotions into them...
and not saying the movies where bad just when someone else ? them as to is that true... no ... well which part ... they do not tell you that ... so should just take the movie as a grain of salt and believe some and be true and some is not true ... myself just wanting to know what was not true ... so then in goes under just entertainment ...

I think that there's a certain amount of bias in such things. I also never dismiss what I hear as implausible based solely on my own bias. Its really weird but the truth doesn't have to make conventional sense, while fiction seems to be peppered with it.
