Bowling for Columbine (2002)
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. From a look at the Columbine High School security camera tapes to the home of Oscar-winning NRA President Charlton Heston, from a young man who makes homemade napalm with The Anarchist's Cookbook to the murder of a six-year-old girl by another six-year-old. Bowling for Columbine is a journey through the US, through our past, hoping to discover why our pursuit of happiness is so riddled with violence.

I haven't watched this since it first came out. With all the terrible things happening these days I thought it would be worth a rewatch.I found some parts to be a little "staged", like when Moore confronts some of the celebrities involved it seemed like drama to enhance the movie, or when he puts the picture of the little girl on Heston's front step it seemed a little insincere. But other than that a very well done documentary and a very eye opening look at mass shootings in the USA.
This is the best anime that IMDB has ever recommended me.I love watching my Senpai delve into America's gun violence policies.
It was Kmart that took out there bullets not Wall-mart and Kmart still sells guns and Walmart sells both. Get the facts right or do not post. So now you need to watch sicko. And I here there is one about trump coming out to. Some hate Mich but he is not bad by any means. People just think he is bad from what they here so they do not watch his films which is bad because his films should be watched by everyone. Top 3 films from Mich that should be watched no matter who you are is Fahrenheit 9/11 Sicko and Bowling for Columbine . I mean after watching some of these films I view things a lot different now. I hope the new trump movie will be even better to.
Bowling for Columbine, the comedic depiction of the gun issues that America must tackle, is a moving story about several topics that relate to gun rights, such as the Columbine Massacre in 1999. This film puts the bigger picture of gun rights and most of the political issues that our government must tackle such as weapons of mass destruction. The stats of gun incidents and gun related deaths in America help solidify the issue, as well as the act where Moore, the main actor, producer and director, take a few Columbine survivors, Mark Taylor and Richard Castaldo, to "refund" the bullets that were still in their bodies at the local K-Mart. These shocking parts really help the film display the fact that America has a domestic issue with guns and gun rights. I really enjoyed the film.
