Directed by the unruly Michael Moore, it is a must-have for any good film collection. After taking on General Motors in Roger and Me, and then Nike in The Big One, Michael Moore now turns his attention to America as a whole and its uncontrolled passion for firearms. By asking why his country holds the sad record for the number of annual violent murders, he takes the opportunity to sprinkle some particularly abrasive itching powder on the gaping wounds of racism, poverty, the climate of fear maintained by the media, and an aggressive foreign policy. With a rare talent for pedagogy, Michael Moore disarms even the most skeptical by dismantling the gears of violence one by one. A scathing interview with actor Charlton Heston, president of the National Rifle Association, constitutes the apotheosis of this documentary, which is packed with archival footage and voice-over commentary that is by turns alarming and provocative. Despite a few lapses in writing, Bowling for Columbine is a mine that must be allowed to explode. Its message, its form, and its relevance make it an absolutely necessary work. --Helen Faradji\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 027616882264\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0027616882264\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e DVD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40687476736184,"sku":"E2-CVEN-MIKE","price":3.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/512r-Vpv9vL.jpg?v=1634183094","url":"https:\/\/id-shop-ca.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/bowling-for-columbine-dvd-2003","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
