Bowling for Columbine
If you see no other movie this year, make it this one. Honestly, this movie-length documentary is nothing short of exceptional. It is not quite a mainstream movie (and very unfortunately so – the movie was screening in Cinema Paris at Fox Studios), perhaps seeming a little strange, directed by a fringe wacko. I can assure you that Michael Moore is anything but a wacko, but one of the many things this film reveals is just who the real wackos in the world are. Really brilliant stuff. Unequivocally highly recommended. Bowling for Columbine website, check out the trailer.

Yes, I agree that Michael Moore is very good here. Mainly coz he is genuinely angry and concerned about the stuff he’s saying here, so he’s not just being smart alecky like he normally is. Despite it being good tho, I think it could of been better had he got some of his research right.
Uhh, are you kidding?

Read away.
I believe that some of the facts used are incorrect. But I still agree with his sentiment as well as admire his genuine concern about gun control, or there lack of in the US.

As with ALL media, there are inaccuracies, biases, and even lies. It’s up to the discerning viewer to pick through the facts and fiction and make up their own mind (which unfortunately, happens less in this world than it should) – whether it’s watching the right-wing Fox News on cable, or flipping through the tabloids, or reading academic journals, etc.
If you believe media has to be 100% truthful and accurate to convey a valid message, then you will be waiting for a lifetime for something to believe in.
The biases in Bowling for Columbine damage Michael Moore’s credibility, but nowhere near to the extent of making what he believes and postulates less believable. (Do you believe that because he staged the scene where a bank gives him a gun on the spot – although the bank which gives out a free gun (albeit not on the spot) does actually exist – lessens the underlyig impression that here is a financial institution that will give you a free gun for opening an account with them?)
