As I watched Bowling for Columbine, all I could think was it was a bit hypocritical. I agreed with pretty much everything Michael Moore was trying to say, but I’m not sure I agreed with the delivery. He kept talking about how Americans are trained to be afraid, and all we see on the news is designed to make us fearful, but it seemed that he was using scare tactics too.

While I agree with Moore’s viewpoints, I don’t think this movie is going to convince anyone who doesn’t. The delivery is too patronizing and harsh, and the fact that some of his information isn’t factual doesn’t really help. It’s a good movie to watch and be like “right on”, but if you don’t agree with what’s being said, Bowling for Columbine isn’t going to change your mind.
