"Zelig," directed by Woody Allen, parodies the documentary genre by presenting a fictional narrative through a mockumentary style, complete with faux archival footage and interviews that mimic real documentaries. The film's protagonist, Leonard Zelig, is portrayed as a chameleon-like figure who changes his appearance and behavior to fit in with those around him, satirizing the concept of identity in society. Through its absurdity and humor, "Zelig" critiques the authenticity often claimed by documentaries, highlighting how easily reality can be manipulated. The blend of fact and fiction in the film serves to both entertain and provoke thought about societal conformity and the nature of truth in storytelling.
