Bowling For Colombine

        Click. Bang. These words are the sound a gun makes when it fires. The gripping documentary   Bowling for Colombine is a based off the shooting at Colombine high school located in littleton, USA. It shows the horror of the school shooting and puts it into perspective  using  interveiws with people in the comuity and footage from the school, that stimulate your tear gland. The director adds in a cartoon for fun and expresses the problem of bad gun control in the USA.

  The documentary Bowling For Colombine narrated by Michael Moore expresses three main problems, guns are not controled properly, the public is being fed violence to create fear, and racisim. In this film Michael Moore goes into a bank in the US to open a bank account, with an opening of an account at this bank you get a free gun. Anyone can own as many guns as they like and the amunition to load them. Making it easy to "protect yourself" from harm, but it also makes it easy for kids, terrorists and mentaly unstable people to obtain them as well. Does this make it safer or dangerous in a society with guns? The US has a high murder rate commited by guns, larger than most other developed countries. It only takes one shot to kill someone. Violence, is beeing shown on tv in the news, and movies it makes people wonder, what if? What if someone breaks into my house? What if someone threatens my family? What if.....? What if..?  Caused by propaganda in today's social media this question is spreading. The media is pumping fear into our bloodsream using the excuse that we need to be prepared.

This was a biased film that was baced on fact. Howerver the whole truth is not stated and Michael Moores methods were odd. He uses a roller coaster of emotions to keep the audience entertaineed and implies a certain point of view. This makes the film deceiving and should not be qualified as an accurate documentary.
