Upon my initial viewing of this film I have to say I really enjoyed it. It made me both angry and at other times I found it quite funny. I really took it and its message at face value. However, afterwords I did some homework into some of the information it shared and it does appear that the director distorted and manipulated some of the events and information to provide a greater emotional impact with the audience. I was disappointed to discover this, in part because as a documentary work of art that should not happen, and secondly I don't think he really needed to do that to affectively get the message across. Nevertheless, I still think it is a film worth seeing and in many ways does still accurately portray our nations many issues with guns.

It was Kmart that took out there bullets not Wall-mart and Kmart still sells guns and Walmart sells both. Get the facts right or do not post. So now you need to watch sicko. And I here there is one about trump coming out to. Some hate Mich but he is not bad by any means. People just think he is bad from what they here so they do not watch his films which is bad because his films should be watched by everyone. Top 3 films from Mich that should be watched no matter who you are is Fahrenheit 9/11 Sicko and Bowling for Columbine . I mean after watching some of these films I view things a lot different now. I hope the new trump movie will be even better to.

Left wing filmmaker Michael Moore examines the issue of guns in America. The title refers to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold responsible for the Columbine High School massacre were supposed to be bowling for their class earlier that morning. Moore sarcastically wonders if bowling caused the massacre. He takes a wide-ranging look at guns and the overall culture in America. He talks to various people. The most compelling is James Nichols, brother of Terry Nichols who was convicted of the Oklahoma City bombing. The man has crazy eyes. There is a glee in his demeanor about guns. Marilyn Manson has a couple of intriguing responses. Matt Stone comes from Littleton which is next to Columbine High School. There is a cartoon in a South Park style that gives some simplified views of fear in America. Moore concentrates more on this idea that Americans live in fear. He contrasts America with the world by going to Canada and their unlocked doors. This is not a traditional documentary. One can easily pull it apart by pointing out any number inaccuracies and loose facts. Moore is painting a picture and a feeling. The best idea is to pull everything back to fear in America and get out of the actual guns as the issue. Sometimes, he overreaches by going general politics. Also, not everybody in Canada keeps their door unlock. This is a little scattered but Moore eventually puts everything into focus.

It was a very impressive movie. It is good point that this movie focused on American gun society. Gun in America become very important problem now, but considering in the fact that when this movie was made is 2002, Moor's point of view is very appreciated. In addition, this movie searches about the problem of gun deeper and explains the problem comprehensibly. (ex. The history of America) The latter is very important for foreigners to watch such documentaries as this. At the latter of this movie, they succeeded something big. It was very important change in America and this succession is the result of this movie. It was awesome. (Of course, those who support gun society didn't think so.) But one point that I was disappointed is this movie is too long. I think this movie can be made in less time. Longer the movie is, more boring we are because density of movie become less. This point is unique to documentary movie. Particularly for me, who watch many movies and American dramas, documentaries are boring as a whole. For the documentary, whose theme is belonging to the real world, it can't be helped. But this documentary is more interesting than other documentaries.
