Bowling for Columbine

In Michael Moore's documentary "Bowling for Columbine" he strategically explores the effects of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the tragic outcomes of the infamous shooting at Columbine High School. He goes about his discoveries in a variety of different ways and strives to appeal to all audiences. Moore shoots for humor, sympathy adn vengeance. This brilliant film is immensely eye-opening and urges the audience to think about the content on a deeper level. Unlike most documentaries, Moore keeps it short and powerful. Everything he says and does is delivered with impact.

Moore uses what some would say are questionable tactics to obtain valuable feedback from Charlton Heston. Heston is caught off guard by Moores sly demeanour. However, this film shows the viewers how countries, especially the United States, that people are increasingly reliant on guns and the NRA.

This documentary catches and keeps the attention of the audience and will get minds reeling and
hearts racing. It contains something for everyone and it is highly recommended. It is a must-see.
