I really liked the characters and actions of the actors

Absolute banger! I really liked it

Once again. Micheal did a great job

This documentary is biased in the fact that it exclusively tells one side of the story of gun violence in America. But it tells this side with both concerning and eye-opening detail. Moore transparently and powerfully appeals to the emotions of the audience, for one. This transparency is most evident and admirable, though, as he confronts the former NRA president and the K-Mart corporate headquarters, pleading for answers. Moore aptly focuses on the fear factor as that which is the drive to own guns in America, while pointing out the hypocrisy and denial of those that refuse to see the problem. Moore also does well to highlight the class disparities and the wealthy aloofness that only exacerbates this issue.

Very puzzling, I wouldn't live in the USA especially after seeing this. The showdown with Heston was upright epic!

(Mauro Lanari) Moore could have avoided lingering on the problem by summarizing it with the acronym WASP. Some unexpected and unpredictable moments of utter absurdity are unparalleled ("What's bowling class?" "Just an elective you can take for a gym credit" "Where's the educational value of this, though?" "I guess there isn't really any"). Marilyn Manson, the phenomenon of that era, has given way to Taylor Swift's embodied algorithm.

Deserving of being one of the greatest documentary films of all time. This documentary really discusses topics that are still relevant in the country right now. I think this would be great documentary to show at schools to help raise awareness of alienation. Overall great documentary, well done Michael Moore.

The greatest 02 hours of real violence and interviews/ people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the f**k was George Walker Bush thinking?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! S**t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The greatest 02 hours ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost twenty-five years after the Columbine High School mass murders and more than twenty years after the release of Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine, the rest of the world continues to look on in wonder as Americans continue to kill each other with shocking regularity, seemingly unable to figure out how to solve the problem. While Moore can certainly be criticized for his lack of objectivity, his guerilla tactics, and a scattergun approach to the issue, there is no denying the impact of this documentary, told with passion, wit, and insight. At times horrific, at time hilarious, at times heartbreaking, it is a film that will stay with the viewer long after the credits have rolled. Unfortunately, it did little to stop the killings.

The only one that was worse was Fahrenheit 9/11

The best documentary movie ever made!

The greatest 02 hours ever!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring George W. Bush, Chris Rock, Dick Clark, Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Marilyn Manson, Charlton Heston, and director Michael Moore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While Michael Moore has his issues, this is just one of the most entertaining documentaries ever.

Even though Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine is a historical document, it's sadly also is timeless as a documentary. Rewatching it 20 years after it truly is appropriate to ask if anything has happened in two decades with the main topics of the movie. The answer is 'very little', except from with the murder rates in the US. In 2020 they reached an all time high. with 21.570 homicides. It's some 10.000 more than in 2002, and even beats 1905. The gun sales in 2021 were the highest since 2000, with the death rate from guns rising 14 percent during the pandemic. Now not only main stream media is running the same old basics, but the so called social media has long since joined in, with even more stupefying information, and it has become a global phenomenon, where the lines between what is fake, satire or real are being wiped out. Even a former Norwegian prime minister said: - We are about to lose control of what the public is being told. She said this back in 2018 when it already was highly relevant, and it makes one think about how it used to be with information and such. Regardless, in the US school shootings have become so normal that we have lost track. In 2021 alone there were 34 of them, and 24 happened after August 1. So, nothing has changed since Bowling for Columbine was released and became a serious wakeup call. It only has become much worse. Maybe then it is time for Mr. Moore to make another documentary on these horrible subjects, and dig even deeper. It probably won't help this time either, but at least most people can't say later that they didn't know.

A Hodge-Podge of Nothing -- This movie has no substance. Moore takes a tragic event and makes a bunch of indictments about the armed forces, capitalism, post-World War II U.S. foreign policy and welfare reform -- everything the Left loves to hate about America. His style is as bad as the media sensationalism he's attacking. The one interesting point in the movie is where he mentions that it's almost as easy to get a gun in Canada as it is in the US, yet the homicide rate in Canada is nothing compared to that in the US. He could have made that the main focus of his movie. (Independent verification of the Canadian gun laws and homicide rate would have been necessary though.) But I guess that would have meant no other swings at the rest of American society, and probably fewer ambush journalism moments. It would have been more like a PBS documentary, and less of a movie about Moore's own ideology.

I'll never get tired of deadpan takes on terrible '90s 온라인카지노추천 bits, whether they focus on local commercial development or the implementation of a dress code to drive down school shootings. I have a few gripes with Michael Moore as a person and as a filmmaker, but most carry some flip side that provides a bit of justification. He seems to be a bit of an opportunist and trades on public confrontations with uninfluential representatives of large entities, but you can combat that claim by arguing these unprompted conversations are where you get the most sincere reactions and the systemic nature of the forces he discusses (e.g., commercial interests, media, the military-industrial complex) makes anyone involved fair game. I almost never enjoy watching a Moore documentary for the full runtime becuase of his frequent use of grandstanding gestures that put people at a 9 to 5 job in uncomfortable positions, but these are the reasonable points of access and their employment brings some measure of responsibility for the actions of the employer as a whole if they act in its defense. If you see this film crew walking up after you punch the clock in the morning, just turn around and take an early break, because you're not going to have a good time. It's tough to argue that Moore doesn't insert himself prominently in the content he covers, but when he has something legitimately powerful to talk about he does a good job of incorporating his deadpan dystopian humor with grounded background research to create disturbing comparisons. If the debates included seem one-sided, it's because the opposing argument in favor of very loose gun control (from an international perspective) has become so firmly ingrained in American culture. He doesn't dive deeply into conspiracy theories linking moustache-twirling billionaires burning the world down to earn a profit (though he's no stranger to conjecture), but simply outlines how money, influence, and power incentivizes malicious, destructive relationships between private interests and media that promotes discord and hate in such a way that wallets stay full. It's a phenomenon that has only proven to be even more spot-on now than it was when the documentary was produced. Adding in the gallows humor and some great character vignettes, and you've got a recipe for a solid documentary even if you might have to slog through the secondhand embarassment that Moore basically mandates in his creative process. Among the better films, and likely the single most influential project, that Moore has ever released, and a legitimate accomplishment in capturing a period of fanatical fear that has shaped the pathway of American culture ever since. (3.5/5)

Iconic documentary but at moment can stoop to incredibly manipulation and misleading editing.

What Michael Moore did to Charlton Heston in this film tells me everything I need to know about his morality and ethics as a filmmaker; he has none. Heston was suffering from Dementia when Moore tried to battle him in a serious interview, and it's obvious from this film Heston was ill. This shows me you might have the right ideas about gun laws, but you can have no humanity in that same breath. I have never watched one of Moore's films ever again. I think we all agree we don't want people to murder each other with guns, but the laws will always get stuck on Texas. Even if we're like "Texas, y'all really gonna hunt with machine guns? Can we just regulate those?" Texas is like "Y'all know we need machine guns, how can y'all even ask us that?". In Texas you bond with your Daddy at the gun range, you sleep with a gun under your pillow, you got gun magazines (the printed kind) spread all over your coffee table, and if that bird is singing too loudly in your garden? You shoot it.* Depending on where you're sleeping in Texas, the pepper of gunshots is your lullaby at night, as they even help the Texas crickets sleep... *I got In-laws in Texas.

I'm just not a fan of Micheal Moore films .
