Bowling for Columbine

So, apparently this Michael Moore guy is a big liberal. The fact of the matter is that Moore went places and did things that everyone else was afraid to do. Not only did he give people a voice that had none, but he went up against superpowers such as Wal-Mart and the NRA, also. Contrary to what HardyLaw states, I believe that Bowling for Columbine is in fact a documentary. Not only did it inform its viewers, but Michael Moore was also entertaining in the way he presented himself and what he did. And yes, this film was extremely biased and may have had information that was bent and skewed, its backbone of information was solid and therefore should be considered a non-fiction film. The fact that the NRA still had its rally so close to the time of the Columbine shootings, I feel would be completely devastating for the population of this small town. It's all nice that the NRA cancelled many of its events, but Charlon Heston still was there supporting the use of guns. How could anyone be so heartless to hold a pro-gun rally so close to the time two teenagers went into their school and shot their fellow classmates as well as teachers? So Moore may have held back a few details and stretched a few truths, however the fact that he was able to look past the norm and delve deeper into the lives and the experiences of those involved more than makes up for this.
