Bowling for Columbine

[Big Red Fury]

I just want to know what everyone here thinks of the movie, feel free to add why you feel the way you do.

[ACCBiggz]

Well, I'm talking to you on AIM... and you totally missed the point.

I don't know that Bowling really was a message movie, per se. At least, there's no 1 underlying message dominating the whole movie - Moore looks at all sorts of stuff from poverty to the NRA to American violence in other countries to gun ownership levels to the 'culture of fear' created by the media, but leaves a fair bit of room for viewers to make up their mind.

I am not a big fan of Michael Moore in Genneral, it´s just that there are sooo manny parts were i clearly know that he is ignoring some things ore telling as if thes things were different that i cannot belive him on his points in cases were i don´t bring own knowledge. And that´s nt a good base for a propper documentary. :/

Eh, I saw it when it was on Channel 4 a few months back. I'd say that it was good.

I can't remember enough of it to say why though...

9/10.

That shit was tight, no matter how faked it might have been.

[Johnny Drama]

yeh we watched it in media studies very impressive.

Despite the fact that he is accused of bending, or flat out ignoring, the truth one thing cannot be denied about Michael Moore - whether through his books or film, the man can tell a story and is very good at it.

8/10.

I would like to kick Mr. Moore square in the jewels, but that's a very good film. I would say I agreed with the message that the media has tried to create, or has created by byproduct a 'fear culture' so 'yes'.

[FunkAsPuck]

Its a very interesting movie, but its quite obvious that Moore twists and ignores facts to help his message. Then again, its not as if he is the only one.
