I really liked this movie. Michael Moore really knows how to get his point across. The movie went from heart wrentching to very funny to serious. I believe that we should take a look at ourselves more closely and ask ourselves "what are the people of our country really trying to prove with our guns and war happy president?"
I SAW IT.. ITS EASILY ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS EVER MADE.. IT MAKES US LOOK AT OUR SOCIETY AND OUR LIVES. THE MOVIE MAKES YOU EXAMINE THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD AT LARGE. ITS AN ESSENTIAL MOVIE FOR ANYONE IN THE U.S TO SEE. THE MOVIE RAISES SOME THOUGHT PROVOKING QUESTIONS..QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ASKED
I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED BY THE INSIGHT THE FILM HAD.
I HAVE TO BUY THIS WHEN IT COMES OUT ON DVD.. IT WAS TRULY POWERFUL.
noo, It is supposed to be a sucsess, not a disgrace of Norwway...if you are interessted in reading more about this finti, check out www.filmmagasinet.no you will find it on the news!
I thought it was okay, it had some thought-provoking and informative moments. However, I agree with BackFire, the movie was edited to reflect a certain viewpoint.
In defense of Dick Clark, I am sure strange people approach him all the time. He probably had no idea who Micheal Moore was. I did lose a lot of respect for Charlton Heston though.
...film looked so bad, it shouldn't have won best documentery because it wasn't one! There was a site made to illustrate this point-and yes probably those famous people looked like assholes because it was edited to seem that way. He manipulated that film so much in order to succeed in getting people to agree with him, what an *******. The site shows that many of the things these people said in interviews were actually not said in response to the topic at hand. Michael Moore sucks my ass
it was manipulated heavily to illistrate his point, this is true. but it still manages to make its point very well, by using some very interesting facts along with its editing manipulation. and trust me, charlton heston was truthfully shown, the interview in the end wasnt edited at all, hestons responses were borderline pathetic.
I rented it this evening.
It wasn't as good as F. 9/11 and he really didn't do a good job explaining why America is as violent as it is.
The little cartoon and News coverage clips helped make the point that America is scared and would want to own guns, but he didn't really explain why we kill more people than other country.
But then again I dont think he even knows the answer.
The NRA were dicks for holding purposely holding conventions at the sight of the shootings, but I think MM was wrong for taking the photo of the little dead girl to Heston's house.
He didn't kill her. MM made it seem as if Heston was responsible.
Same thing with KMART. They didn't shoot those kids.
They're not responsible.
I'm very liberal, but people should be held responsible for killing each other, not guns or the NRA or KMART.

No one is trying to prove anything with guns. The question we really need to ask ourselves is: Why are we so afraid?

You can say all you want about Michael Moore but Charlton Heston's an ******* for going to Littleton and Flint to promote the NRA since both shootings were recent at the time.
So we should just be ok with people blaming guns for human actions?
This film is not exactly a film on gun control. If you really pay attention to it you should come to the conclusion that guns are not the cause of our violent society. This is a documentary that exposes the culture of fear we live in. Though I do not agree with many of the points it brings, as they are tainted with bias, it does raise some interesting points on our society.
