Bowling For Columbine
Bowling For Columbine (2002)
Director: Michael Moore
That something strange was happening in the United States which some already suspected that something was so sick that I was quite caught by surprise.
Bowling For Columbine is a journey that makes Michael Moore by the American heartland in search of the causes that justify the level of violence as indecent ravaging his country, Moore shows how the rifles are in the banks to open an account, such as Adolescents do experiments with napalm, as the weapons are bought and sold on every corner.
Beyond worrying picture that shows that the tape suggests an even worse reality, there are other countries where arms are sold freely, there is even more passes to the U.S. military, however the rate of violent crime rate tripled Europe and even Canada, Canada is the country closest geographically and culturally.
What is leading to a U.S. wield a gun to the first change? Well, as Moore shows us the reason is a kind of collective paranoia, a large-scale social disease.
The average American is deeply threatened in their daily lives, but often is not able to explain what he threatens, depending on buying weapons that protects your home, completely irrational.
The film has several delirious moments, the interview with the president of the rifle association, Charlton Heston gives an idea of where you can get up to ignorance and bigotry, the stories about the murders in schools are shocking, but the most shocking of all is to prove themselves as Americans and others remain indifferent to what happens.
A tape that everyone should see, perhaps help us to stop many of the things that are happening today.
