Bowling For Columbine
 

Hey all,
Have any of you guys seen the movie "Bowling For Columbine" if you haven't i highly reccomend it. It is a very intersting film about (among other things) american gun culture. It is often very critical of American society, but i think its good for you guys to see how others see you.(Americans) If nothing else, it gives some good incite into the columbine shootings. For those of you who have seen it..... comments, what did you think about it? Thanks
rock:

started to watch it but was after bar. i remember it said they went bowling before they did the shooting .

ive seen it around but havent bothered dling it ... i thought it was a movie about the bombs and stuff ... sleeping:

Nah, its not about bombs. Its michael mores take on american society.

The film is called "bowling for columbine" because the shooters went bowling before they shot up the school, and michael said why no blame it on bowling seeing as everyone blames it on video games and that sort of thing. I hear that a lot around here too, whenever a shooting comes up in the news.

Its interesting, and moore defenitely has his opinions.

great movie. really makes you think.

anybody still got that link to the autopsy photos of the 2 gunmen?

Bowling for Columbine is a frustrating movie, in that it delivers it message but suffers HORRIBLY for Moores sensationalism and his OBVIOUS left viewpoints. Or I should say Moore is more Mild-Left/Strong-Independent.

His interview with the brother of one of the OK bombers was good in that it exposed just how "normal" these people are. Despite being a little nutty, and depressed he still was just a regular guy.

Moore's "ambush" of Heston and Dick Clark was a joke. Heston has a right to free speech, and to somehow link Heston with the death of the young girl in Moores hometown - Moore would get low-jacked for pulling that bullshit on someone here. That's ridiculous logic. And yes he was making that comparison even if he was asking for an "apology" for going ahead with the NRA convention. And yes Dick Clarks support for the Welfare To Work program (a program that DOESNT work), is shocking but Clark doesnt set the rules. It just finds the easiest targets and goes after them. I thought it was funny yes, but the Right in me just thinks its all manipulation at its worst.

Stfu GT.

If they do, don't fucking post them here...yeesh.

I loved BFC, but I do agree with ED in the personal attacks on Dick Clark and Charleton Heston. I didn't mind Heston so much, but Dick doesn't do the friggin' hiring for his grill restaurant, for chrissakes.

I loved how they went to K-Mart head office with the two kids from Littleton. There's no need to sell 9mm rounds in a friggin' K-Mart. I'm not saying you shouldn't have the right to buy 9mm ammo, but at K-Mart? Nah, not necessary. That's like waltzing into a Baskin-Robbins and being able to buy grass seed.

The bank giving out free rifles was pretty fucked up too. I couldn't believe that was real. stupid:

The pics of those 2 can be found on ogrish.com i think. Not autopsy pics theyre just pics of after they commited suicide.

(whoops)

its not the autopsy photo, but they are dead in this one
god, the website is really erie, all the people on the forum REALLY REALLY want to see videos of them killing people

fucking psychos

What part of "dont fucking post them here" didnt you understand?

apparently the whole phrase went right over their heads stupid:

sorry, i didn't see that part, i'll edit it

a lot of stuff in that movie was faked. the bankk scene was acted. and they cut away at charelton hestons speech
