Bowling for Columbine


In this post I would like to talk a little bit in relation to my opinion about Bowling for Columbine. I really like this movie because it can express my feelings about gun control. Also how this issue is has been leaded in United States. Michael Moore shows some situations and events where firearms have been involved. The right to carry and bear guns has gotten damages than benefits to the American society. Nevertheless, in my opinion Moore manipulated some things in the movie. He just wants to show his point of view and put away other positions. He isn’t objective and uses the humor to ridicule the different opinions. Even though is well know that he is totally against Second Amendment, his biggest problem is that he is not absolutely truthful.

However, I enjoyed the movie and after watch it, I’m able to confirm that gun control is absolutely necessary to avoid a lot of the crimes in US.

  1. Hi Juan Felipe,

    Great picture! I agree that Moore isn't completely honest, and it's easy to wonder why he wasn't. Don't you think his movie still would have been incredilby successful? Anyway, he dones't win any awards for journalistic integrity, but he does win awards for getting his message across!

    I agree, too, that greter gun control is necessary--along with a lot of other things!--to help reduce deaths, crimes, and injuries from gun violence.

    Looking forward to reading your Thanksgiving blog.

  2. After reading your post, i have to say I'm not understand the movie totally. I should think about the position of the director. However, he worked hard to make the movie, the interviews are not easy.
