brandonhopper-15508 This is the best anime that IMDB has ever recommended me.I love watching my Senpai delve into America's gun violence policies.

atnorton-88245 First, Michael Moore is an extraordinary documentarian, making an adventure out of every topic he tackles, rather than a series of talking heads. Bowling for Columbine tackles gun violence in the U.S. with simple, open-ended question: Why the U.S.? What is it about the culture and history as well as access to guns of the United States that makes this country such a dangerous place to live with so many gun deaths compared to all other industrialized countries? His answer is not a simplistic one - it is not simply that we have a 2nd amendment and people misinterpret it as so many anti-gun folks might say. Canadians own about as many firearms and yet they don't have nearly the rate of gun-related deaths. Although many will view this film as anti-gun, I think the film is much more sophisticated than those who feel threatened even by the question "why" understand the film? Moore, in fact, does not come to any hard and fast conclusions, perhaps other than that we in the U.S. live in a culture of fear and there are historical conditions, including racial segregation and economic conditions that we as Americans have not come close to fully addressing. This documentary is a must-see for anyone concerned about the number of gun related deaths and injuries and even for those who believe the 2nd amendment protects a person's right to bear arms, but feels that no "right" is without some reasonable restrictions.

Masanori HIRANO It was a very impressive movie. It is good point that this movie focused on American gun society. Gun in America become very important problem now, but considering in the fact that when this movie was made is 2002, Moor's point of view is very appreciated. In addition, this movie searches about the problem of gun deeper and explains the problem comprehensibly. (ex. The history of America) The latter is very important for foreigners to watch such documentaries as this. At the latter of this movie, they succeeded something big. It was very important change in America and this succession is the result of this movie. It was awesome. (Of course, those who support gun society didn't think so.) But one point that I was disappointed is this movie is too long. I think this movie can be made in less time. Longer the movie is, more boring we are because density of movie become less. This point is unique to documentary movie. Particularly for me, who watch many movies and American dramas, documentaries are boring as a whole. For the documentary, whose theme is belonging to the real world, it can't be helped. But this documentary is more interesting than other documentaries.

Python Hyena Bowling for Columbine (2002): Dir: Michael Moore / Featuring: Michael Moore, Charlton Heston, Marilyn Manson, Matt Stone, George W. Bush: Brilliant documentary about gun possession in America. Title represents the fact that two teenagers who open fired in a Columbine school were earlier bowling. Michael Moore takes viewers on a dark and sometimes comical journey to discover compelling and disturbing facts. We learn that America is driven by fear sparked by media. Moore interviews rocker Marilyn Manson whose music was blamed for the Columbine incident. He also embarks upon the influence of entertainment and violence and interviews Matt Stone, one of the creators of the popular Canadian cartoon South Park. George W. Bush is also featured for mockery and regardless of one's view, Moore still makes his vision funny. Charlton Heston also appears in his pro gun rallies and Moore addresses the fact that his rally took place a week after the shooting of a six year old girl. Moore also makes discoveries in Canada and other countries about guns. He even joins two Columbine survivors in their approach to K-Mart, which sold the bullets embedded in their bodies. The film contains Moore cynical approach that is branded with his humorous insight and opinions. The film requires us to reflect upon life and how it can end with the senseless pulling of a trigger. Score: 10 / 10
