I saw this movie in theaters last year, but I guess since then I've matured a little bit more and my knowledge has expanded. Well, I just saw it again Friday night, and I must say it had a much greater impact on me than my previous viewing. If you haven't seen it, it is a documentary by Michael Moore which covers the problems of gun-control in America and how the media turns society sour. There is an average of 11,000 gun-related deaths every year in the States, and when you compare it to other places around the world which have the same music, movies, internet, games, EVERYTHING, they get at most, 1000 gun-related deaths per year. Why is that? Michael Moore seems to feel that the media has a major influence on things, and they invoke fear into the public. That's how they gather viewers. They put fear into your body every time you watch, and that's how they keep you coming back. When the news is on, you always hear biological terrorism, war, murder, robbery, etc with only the occasional lighter topics thrown inbetween. Do you not? I'm sure both Xaimara, Valery, and all other non-US visitors will ensure us that they don't experience any of that from day-to-day. Anyways, though, this film will definitely incite something inside of you. I highly recommend you watch it. Even if you aren't into this type of movie, it's very informative and will give you a new perspective on things.
In related news, Michael Moore will be coming out with another documentary next year which will cover a lot of mysteries surrounded 9-11. One, for example, being that the days proceeding the events when all commercial and private flights were apparently banned, one family (the Bin Laden family) were flown on a private jet from the states to France. And yes, its the same family as Osama Bin Laden. Sure makes you think.
I forgot to mention he wants Oprah to run for president... which is a damned good idea! Click below to sign a petition of encouragement: Draft Oprah
