"mockumentary" の定義と意味

What is a "mockumentary"?

A mockumentary is a type of film or television show that mimics the style of a documentary but is actually a work of fiction. It often uses humor and satire to tell a story or to comment on real-life events, social issues, or popular culture. The characters and situations in a mockumentary are typically exaggerated or absurd, and the format is designed to make the fictional events seem real, often including interviews, shaky camera work, and voice-over narration.
