this movie juz cemented my admiration for michael moore. a classmate told me this docu-movie beat fahrenheit 9/11 hands down. so of course i had to check it out myself.
this is left me speechless. he explores the issue of the columbine shooting and why america has more than 10 000 gun related crimes a year as compared to any other country in the world.
did you know Canada, juz beside this huge nation has its citizens owning close to 7 million guns. thats alot of guns and has juz 63 gun related crimes or was it 39? ppl in canada don't even lock their door!
he talks abt the culture of fear in the united states. sth which i believe the bush admin is playing up. its a country filled with paranoia. the media...it shocks me...
is it coz america has had a blood stained history? well i studied their history and it has alot of blood on its hands but as compared to germany (they exterminated 12 mill during hitler's time) and britain when they were pretty much ruling most of the world.
there are juz so many issues which makes me look at the united states with new eyes. i say its a country with so many holes that need so many patches its amazing. how the canadians see the united states is also interesting.
i find this so interesting perhaps coz i went to the US for my holz and than after that went to canada and back to the US. its scary how different these countries ah. they are juz beside each other. something like m'sia and singapore but cast in a totally different light.
very shocking docu-movie.
almost leaves you dumbfounded.
if ya can grab the vcd or sth. but not for those times if ya dun wanna think.
coz it makes u think alot.
