Question 2
: In what ways are documentary films and films only for entertainment
different?
Answer: Documentary films and purely entertaining films differ primarily in their purpose
and content. Documentaries aim to inform, educate, or persuade by presenting real-life
events, people, or issues in a
factual
and often non-fictional manner. Conversely, films for
entertainment primarily focus on storytelling, fictional narratives, and emotions, providing an
escape
from reality. While documentaries seek to explore truths and shed light on real-world
topics, entertainment films prioritize creativity, imagination, and storytelling as their core
elements.
