关于此电影

Bowling for Columbine is an alternately humourous and horrifying film about the United States. It is a film about the state of the Union, about the violent soul of America. Why do 11,000 people die in America each year at the hands of gun violence? The talking heads yelling from every TV camera blame everything from Satan to video games. But are we that much different from many other countries? What sets us apart? How have we become both the master and victim of such enormous amounts of violence? This is not a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and soul of the United States, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi.

Watched this and could not help seeing the large amount of manipulated facts, faked situations, and leading questions, and overall biased view behind this film. This is just propaganda. Moore uses the tragic events of columbine as an environment to create a one sided film that attacks gun ownerships. The film uses distorted facts, cleaver editing, and leading questions to basically brainwash the viewer. The cartoon half way through is disturbing because its stupid enough that no one could actually believe it yet is given major air time as if they will. Also Moore considers himself a liberal yet in this cartoon, all whites are redneck, all blacks have Afros and Indianans have feathers in there hair. He tries to place the NRA as the KKK reborn while dismissing major black members such as Robert F. Williams, an NRA charter holded whose chapter, the Black Armed Guard, actually fought against the KKK terror. The cartoon just begs the question "what is its purpose?". A twisted history of lies, faked facts, or straw man argument. Overall It scary people actually believed this film and it has such a high rating on rotten tomatoes. Explains the confusion in our society.

The movie was interesting, I find that most of the comments are made by people who are fearful of an opinion that didn't come from F#* N=%_$ however I do disagree with we have too many guns in America. I believe we dont have enough, I say arm every man woman and child, give everyone a bulletproof vest and let's go about our lives. An armed society, is a polite society.

It is a joke to call this movie a documentary. There are more accurate facts in the gi joe movie. You would think this guy sees every gun owner as a lunatic ready to wipe out an entire civilization. If you want to watch a movie full of twisted statistics and distasteful humor toward a tragic event then this movie is for you.
