Bowling for Columbine

Bowling for Columbine:


I found this documentry interesting. I really liked the archive footag cut with the "what a wonderfull world" song. The cctv footage and 99 emergancy calls was really powerfull and shocking. Also it kept your intrest by including animations while stating facts. One fact that really stood out to me was when they were showinig the amount of deafs caused by guns in all the different countries. England's was 60 and the USA was 11,000. I like how the creators of the film subtley take the mic out of some of the idiots they interview. For example when they are interview the man who shows off about sleping with a hand gun under his pillow he says "you should be carefull you get a lot of wacko's out there" and then the camera cuts away. I also like the animation where they explain how much "fear" white american have because it really made sense.

Before I watched this I didnt think about how out of hand Guncrime is in America. But now i realise that it is, i am gratefull that England does not allow the right to bare arms.
