GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Art/Literary - General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / Discussion of the film CIDADE DE DEUS
Portuguese term or phrase: legitimações
CONTEXT: the author presents the results of a study that shows that people of the favelas think that the image of life in the favelas as portrayed in the City of God is completely distorted. Then the author goes on saying:

Diante do exposto, nos leva a aproximarmos, ainda mais, sobre a possibilidade de manipulação da realidade operado no filme Cidade de Deus. Ao fazer um recorte da realidade para esquematizar o discurso fílmico, quem o produz já está se posicionando de acordo com seus critérios e objetivos.
O esforço em alcançar uma verossimilhança com tantas legitimações e impressões de realidade pode fazer com que o espectador crie uma imagem deturpada de uma suposta origem e reduto da violência que assola cotidianamente a cidade.

What on earth does the author mean there? Please... If anyone can possibly guess it... (sigh)
Thanks
