This article reviews the motion picture Bowling for Columbine, directed by Michael Moore, which concerned the prevalence of violence in the U.S. The movie, which allegedly is the most commercially successful documentary of all time, looks at the U.S. gun debate through the lens of a number of tragedies involving gun deaths. The double frame story examines the April 20, 1999 shootings at Columbine High School by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, and the continuing saga of socioeconomic strife in and around Flint, Michigan. Bowling for Columbine is allegedly an engaging film that provides a lot of interesting information. Viewer reactions to the film seem to fall into two categories, wherein one sees more left wing claptrap from the filmmaker that brought the audience the other witnesses a scathing indictment of a gun-loving, fear ridden society that is a menace to itself and its neighbors. Such distinctions neatly divide across lines already established in the gun debate between conservative, pro-gun lobbyists and liberal anti-gun protestors. The film begins with a black and white NRA promo-clip. Using a mixture of stock footage, cartoons, montages, and inter-views, Moore creates a film that allegedly is both frightening and entertaining.
