"Bowling For Columbine" is one of the most fascinating documentaries ever. What makes this documentary fascinating is that it is very funny one moment and unexpectedly moving the next. This way the viewer gets the point and the issue that is being treated without being overwhelmed by the drama of that issue. Moore's easygoing tone and simple personal appearance never makes the viewer feel threatened even though the subject of the documentary is very dramatic. The point of the film is to determine why gun violence, especially that of children on children, is out of control in this country. At first, Moore is guided by the principle that easy access to guns is the cause. And, despite being a card-carrying NRA member, he is more than willing to point the finger at Heston and his supporters. But, along the way, Moore makes a discovery - there are more guns per household in Canada than in the United States, yet the death toll, even when adjusted to consider the unequal populations, is much lower. This forces Moore to conclude that, while the ready availability of firearms in the United States may be a contributing factor to the high number of gun-related homicides, it's not the primary reason. He goes along the way in this documentary with great hopes to discover the reason of the violence in US. Because of this great issue and the way it is constructed, with a lot of interviews, a lot of events back in history or the ones that are happening today, and because it is looked from different perspectives this documentary generates a lot of discussions of a big national debate not only of guns in America, but also who Americans are, and what makes them so violent in comparison to other countries.
