It is completely impossible to make an objective film. You could plop a camera down somewhere and let it record whatever for 2 hours and it would still be somewhat slanted, because you only get one perspective of what is going on.
The great thing is, that, in actuality, "This is Spinal Tap" is a real documentary. It appears to have no narrative, and attempts to be objective. The fact that it is completely fabricated is irrelevant.
