Can ther really be a non-fiction movie?

Take for instance the documentary film (somewhat embellished) 'The Memphis Belle' ... and to a lesser extent productions on TV such as 'America's Moist Wanted', 'Cops' , 'Big Brother' , and (ack) 'The Real World' - similar approach.

A Blockbuster or *Any* truly interesting film based upon real life would edit most of the 'real life' out. Things like the 'hero' or the 'heavy' taking a crap ( or other similar *crap* )would certainly make the cutting room floor as they fall into the category of 'mundane'.

Real life is mostly boring except for those small spaces in between mormal and crisis.
