Interesting documentary about the pb with firearms in USA.
A good guest: Marilyn Manson.
A bad guest: Charlton Heston. -

Not surprisingly, this is very intreging and probably the most interesting documentary i have ever seen. The film powerfully suggests the reason for all the violence in US.
Also, I find it so hilarious and cool that Canada is so safe because of how boring our news is. Sadly, I no longer think Canada is as safe as when the film suggests. Just read 24 Hours. And to top it off, I love the line, "Canadians do not watch as much violent movies as Americans do." That line is so hilarious that I couldnt stop laughing for like 5 minutes when i first watched it. All you have to do is look at how many violent films I have seen since what age and you would know that is SO NOT TRUE!
Lastly, I feel sorry for Charlton Heston. He damaged his reputation so badly. He didnt sound or act like he has a soul. He was so arrogant that he didnt even apologize. That would have been the least he could do. Unfortunately, I dont know when will I watch another documentary because this one still has not completely convinced me that all documentaries can be entertaining. -

Great documentary and propaganda. I always love Michael Moore's narration. I thought it'll discussing about Columbine massacre then it turns out to attack the American government again, just like what Moore did in Sicko and Fahrenheti 911. It'll change the way you see Marilyn Manson and Charlton Heston. Imagine that, I now think that Marilyn Manson is better than Charlton Heston!!!! We will also wondering what the hell is wrong with American culture. It was really good.

MCT:September 21, 2008Awesome documentary! Amazing, strong and correct. Michael Moore is bad ass as usually. Had not seen this before, but I've seen the others his made and it's all great. this documentary really smacks you in the face and leaves you with a lot of thoughts. very horrifying video material from the school shooting. the best part is the interview with Marylyn Manson, gave me goose-bumps. so cool! two thumbs up!!

MCT:September 15, 2008Great documentary. As with most documentaries it is a bit one sided, but is very well done. The Billy the Bullet segmeent is hilarious.

One of the best Documentaries of all time this is a must see movie. I could watch this 4 times and not get bored. Michael Moore is a great director and I will watch his upcoming film "Sicko" which just was released in theaters today. 4 STARS!

Extremely entertaining and eye-opening. Micheal Moore's brand of humor makes the bitter pill that is American psychology go down easy. No matter how any right-wing nut spins this as nonsense, it still resonates with absolute truth.

Good documentary, although Michael Moore annoyed me at times. It shows how pathetic and unsympathetic people are in this country.

Wonderfully constructed documentary from Michael Moore. Most people hate his work, and especially him, and maybe it is because he made the films that people automatically avoid them or bad mouth them. Of course, he got a bad reputaion after the infamous Charlton Heston interview at the end of the film. I will come back to that later in the review.
Moore adressess this sitiation seriously and in a heartfelt manner, but also has his own brand of humor, used most of the time to prove his point. And it works. I was shocked at the rates of certain things presented, such as the rate of gun murders in a varity of countrys per year.
39 in Japan, 68 in Great Britain and over 1000 in the USA.
What a lot of people see as huge dick, I see as a hero. Along with two survivors of the tragic Columbine High School Massacre, he maganed to get K Mart, a massive gun shop, to stop selling a certain amount of bullets. In my mind, that makes him a hero with a great heart.
Moore makes his films easy to watch and so entertaining and unique
Now for the Charlton Heston interview.
No, he did not humiliate him. He went to his home in Beverly Hills, and sat down and had a 5 minute interview with the hollywood legend. Moore asked valid questions and all he wanted was a straight anwer, which he rarely got. Moore was angry at the fact Heston had shown up 10 days after Columbine and not long after a shooting in Flint, Michagan, where a 6 year old shot another 6 year old, with the NRA to do a gun rally. Heston claimed, and i believed him (so did Moore, people seem toover look this fact), that he did not know of the shooting and if he did, he probably wouldn't have done the rally. So Moore asked him to apologize to the people of Flint, which he did not. He got up and left moore. He was pursued by Moore and his team trying to get an apology. Moore showed Heston a picture of the girl, but he kept walking. Eventually, Moore just left the picture against a piller on his property. He did not laugh as he left, or just have a blank expression, but looked sad at the fact he did not apologize. I would have been too. I'm sorry people, but Moore did not humiliate Heston.
Watch this film and you will be both shocked and entertained. -

wow i have not seen this movie in ages but this is an intriging documentary movie/film...this is micheal moore who is a good Documentary because he makes really intersting documentary's/movies..this was good because its got loads of cameo apperances throughout the movie by a great singer/song-writer Marilyn Manson, Matt Stone who is brilliant because he does the hit tv series/shows South Park...and its got a cameo from a living legend/icon who has sadly passed away from charlton heston..this is an intriging documentary movie..this is also true because i think that george w bush is the worst president ever...this also has got some good people thorughout this movie because he interviews marilyn manson who is a great singer

That is definitely the best documentary i've seen in recent years, treating the most delicate of subjects in the most provocative fashion.
So why's the killing rate much higher in the states than in any other part of the world ? Is it the Rock music ? The Violent movies and videogames ? The Terrible country history ? or is it something much deeper ? something much more important ?

MCT:August 14, 2008Michael Moore only wants to keep people from owning firearms because he's afraid hunters will mistake him for a bison.

WOULD NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE EVEN FOR A BILLION DOLLARS MICHEAL MOORE IS AN ASS AND WOULD NOT KNOW THE WHOLE STORY IF HE WAS THE LAST PERSON ON THIS PLANET.

MCT:August 12, 2008
This is my favourite documentary -if not favourite movie- of all times. The best elaboration possible someone could ask both on the tragic Columbine massacre and the obsession of contemporary America with guns. Michael Moore harshly critisizes the corporational governmenting of today and offers a thrill of emotions.

Love him or hate him Michael Moore makes great docos and the Oscar proves it here. Thought provoking and always interesting, it exposes Charlton heston for the fruit cake he was.
-
MCT:August 9, 2008
Much needed documentary on gun culture. Wish it were a bit less biased in parts. But does ask some important questions. Worth a watch.
-
MCT:July 31, 2008Slow is an understatement. Although there were some things I thought were interesting (like where the Southpark creators came from and the differences between those who believe in the Second Amendment and those that wish to change it) the movie as a whole was little more than a glorified YouTube video.
-
MCT:July 29, 2008Interesting movie. Not really into a Michael More Movie, but whith that said it was very interesting.
-
MCT:July 27, 2008against my best judgment, i have to say that while i loved the movie, i didn't find a single fact in it that should have made moore oscar worthy.
-
MCT:July 24, 2008I really could care less what Michael Moore has to say. I watched it and pretty much don't care about most of it....except that he was really too mean to Charlton Heston
-
MCT:July 12, 2008
Real. In your face, I was so angry after watching this, im sure a movie has never driven this much emotion out of me.

MCT:July 11, 2008
So well filmed...incredible to know that the US is even more fucked up now than it was when this was made! fascinating!
