This is a fantastic documentary about gun violence in America. What I found fascinating is that the movie does not preach to the audience or try to tell you how to think. Moore presents facts, shows real life clips, and interviews a variety of people to dissect the subject matter. He doesn't provide any answers, and he allows the audience to come up with its own answers. For me, the movie strongly points out how the constant focus on violence during local newscasts causes Americans to think that the world is much more violent than it is, and much more dangerous, and for that reason Americans become more violent themselves.
Some might say that this movie is distasteful, because it dares to take on such subjects as Columbine and 9/11, but Moore has a lot of compassion for the victims and is 100% on their side. This is America, an artist should be allowed to create a thoughtful piece on such important, tragic events to see why they happened and what it means about our country. Everyone in American should go see this thought-provoking film.
