It is one of important studying task about documentary's theory to study documentary's plot and its real idea. This study plays an extremely important role to the creation of documentary in our country. Understanding and comprehending documentary's plot and its real idea will directly affect the future of the creation of documentary film in our country. This article deeply study the existent theory of documentary skills and its psychological origin, the break and fusion of documentary and feature film, the necessary of documentary film having plot, the last of documentary film's real idea, the analysis of documentary film's real idea and the subjectivism of real idea.Firstly, the existence of Events Recording has not only the historical basis, but also the psychological one, such as Rongge psychology, and "mirror photo phase" initiated by post-structures. Polatu pointed out that imitation was the fundamental characteristic of art. Works which describing reality both in China and overseas have a long history, which bring about not only readers who appreciate those works, but also psychological need to enjoy the true pictures of the works. As the No.7 art, movie also make audiences to appreciate documental style.Thirdly, since 1895 the early film screen activity of Frenchmen —Lumiair brothers uncovered documentary's history. Francis Duboliair and Philics Meisliqi's screen activities represented its two poles: Meisliqi's film described the truth, namely reappearance; Duboliair's arranged the truth, namely exhibition. From Robert J Flaherty to John Grierson and documentary school, from Beptob's "film's eyes" to "true film", from "direct film" to the concept and practice of "new documentary film" -the beginning of western documentary film circles in the nineties of 20thcentury, its whole history was formed and developed between the two tops: reappearance and exhibition, on-the-spot record and making up.Fourthly, above all the words about documentary the most disputed word was "true".

Documentary film's plot and truthfulness do not conflict.
