Bowling for Columbine
Bowling For Columbine is directed by Michael Moore, the documentary is a lot different from most because this documentary is looking at why America is such a violent country, especially when guns are involved.
Michael Moore wonders from interview to interview to anywhere where there is a gun issues, His first visit was to a bank in Michigan that gives a rifle to anyone that opens up a new account. Inside the bank he asked a lot of questions that question weather giving a rifle to anyone that opens an account is a good idea one of his questions were "Do you think it’s a little dangerous handing out guns at a bank".
Moore focuses his quest around the shootings at Columbine High School and the shooting of one 6-year-old by another near his own hometown of Flint, Michigan.
Two students responsible for a school massacre attended a school bowling class and Moore thought this was interesting since he doesn't think it has education value, he interviewed couple of girls that agreed.
I guess this kind of shows how the teachers are not really paying any interest to the students at all.
My thoughts on this documentary is that the whole reason Americans are carrying a lot of guns are because of fear, during the video, i heard a lot of people talk about how much they want to protect their families, people that have families live in fear of losing their families and instant of losing them they want to protect so their arm themselves.
during the video you see a lot of people buying guns and firing them even rifles at carnivals and shooting ranges.
Director of Communications was questioned about the missiles he builds and he believes that the missiles he is building is to defend american and not to hurt them. but building a missiles is bad itself because either you can use it and it can be used against you.
After watching the documentary i realised it is, the whole subject is sensitive so when Moore did the documentary, i like the way he went about it, giving his views and opinion, asking questions but at the same time not judging or making of fun of what he learned.
The facts were based on real facts , there were a lot of archive footages of a war that happened around american.
Footages of a boy who got killed was shown and the father of the boy was giving a protest and giving speech.
