Bowling for Columbine

is a great documentary. I don't need to tell you that, because you've probably heard it from hundreds of people more open minded than yourself, those willing to put aside what they think of Michael Moore, or what they think of anyone who stands up for what they believe in, and watch it. Those of you who still haven't seen it because of those reasons, I feel sorry for you.

Anyway, maybe in an effort to get some of you to see it, I only really have one thing to say about it. Watching the special features, you get to see Moore lecture and explain his views in interviews and the like, and he really is a very passionate and perhaps even extremist speaker. I can understand why some people would be afraid of seeing the movie, if only for fear of it trying to really pound some idea into your head like he seems to do in his speeches.

The really great thing about Bowling for Columbine is that when watching the movie you never get a feeling that he's bullshitting, or trying too hard to convince of us something. There is no sign of the Michael Moore that exists on disk two of the DVD set anywhere during the movie. I need to watch it a second time, but I'm sure that there is not even one occurrence of Michael raising his voice like he does when he talks about topics important to him.

Bowling for Columbine is a documentary far removed from the "extremist" view point of Michael Moore. Some people might not agree with me, but I know that I love the movie and not Michael Moore when he gets out of hand.
