Cinéma vérité 

Means 'film truth', also known as 'Direct Cinema'. A style of film concerned with representing truth and reality, not overtly using filmic artifice, or complete directoral control.

Uses documentary film making devices such as hand-held 'shaky' cameras to give an impression of the viewer being a 'fly on the wall'. Avoids the use of scripts, artifical sound tracks, etc.

Developed in France and Quebec in the 1950's and 1960's. 'Dogma 95' is a film making philosophy from the 1990's which was influenced by the ideas of the previous generation's Cinéma vérité film makers.
The Battle of Algiers, The Blair Witch Project, and The Office are examples of film and TV that use elements of Cinéma vérité.

Sinema Vérité

Senator who has the realistic appearance of being a valued public servant, yet whose incomprehensible opinions and beliefs are formed using shaky, simple equipment, and are therefore incongruent with reality or progress.
Arizona voters thought that Sinema Vérité might be a suitable genre in which to sustain and grow the middle class, but it turned out to be an unworkable and embarrassing experiment.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
