Review of Bowling for Columbine (2002) by Matthew A — 27 Jul 2010

I'll start by saying that I'm not a huge Michael Moore fan, taking his opinion for gospel, nor am I denying that he makes some undeniably provoking points. Of all Moore's work thus far, this one ties with "Capitalism: A Love Story" in my book. I feel Moore is at his best when not primarily making political jabs. He makes a fine argument in that the cause for the United States' predisposition to violence stems from the fear-mongering that the media feeds each day with the 6 o'clock news.

Obviously, not everyone has the patience or attention to sit through documentaries. So I can see why some people would write off this movie before seeing it or give up 15 minutes in.

I, for one, thoroughly approve and recommend this film to anyone with a receptive mind and who can find some entertainment and thought value from a documentary.
