As the most successful left-wing documentary nowadays, "Fahrenheit 9/11" has almost swept the world. The old work of director Michael Moore has also begun to be noticed: For example, now I have this "Bowling For Columbine" (Bowling For Columbine). On the cover, Michael Moore carries a camera on his right shoulder and grabs it with his left hand, with a smile on his face. In a nutshell, this movie mainly talks about the proliferation of weapons in the United States. But in my personal opinion, there is not much difference between this film and "Fahrenheit 9/11". What the director wants to say is "The foundation of all actions of the U.S. government, especially the Bush administration, is the panic of the people-rich people. Profit from this group of terrified poor bugs-while maintaining the fear of the people-so that you can profit longer." Since this is the case, there is no doubt that this is a "left-wing" movie (the left-wing is sometimes called "angry youth" in China). In the film, Michael Moore repeatedly asked a question: Why do so many Americans shoot each other-Canada can easily get weapons, Germany has a bloodier history, and the Japanese seem to be more perverted than the Americans. The gap between rich and poor in Russia is several times that of the United States-but why only the United States has tens of thousands of shootings a year? why is that? In the movie Michael Moore used this question to stump Charlton Heston (famous movie star, president of NRA). What does the film tell us: Canadian media does not have a tradition of exaggerating violence, and German youth also love heavy metals. Unfortunately, guns cannot be bought. Japanese pornographic films are said to be more likable than guns and ammunition... American news media continue to create people Panic, you can get guns when you open a bank account. K-Mart provides bullets for the main culprit of the Columbine incident. Young people like to drink beer and listen to heavy metal rock music. Concerned about environmental pollution, the gap between the rich and the poor... How could this country, known as the No. 1 GDP in the world, this superpower, a model of democracy, and this "land of free men and the home of the brave" so unbearable-is this the United States? !
Michael Moore's movie is really a "gun", which directly hits the weak underbelly of American society-as Lu Xun said, "throw a gun and a dagger." It penetrated the world created by the media, shattered the American dream, and let us see the darkness and filth concealed by the diorama. In a sense, Michael Moore defended the public's right to know the truth and made a family statement among the overwhelming authority of discourse. Yes, the words of a family. A family statement means subjective and one-sided. The truth is the reality in action at the moment. There is no exact description, but it is reflected truthfully and analyzed objectively. Because the description, reflection, and analysis are all done by people, "Since they are not immortals, it is inevitable that there will be distracting thoughts." Together, distracting thoughts are extremely objective. As our teacher said "documentary is the most subjective", it means one thing. The documentary is taken out of context-this "righteousness" is the author's theme-the scissors click, and the cut is objective. So why do we watch documentaries? Because we need to understand another term of "truth", we need a new perspective, and we need to see the coexistence of brilliance and darkness and ugliness-as close to the truth as possible. It's like reading social news reviews in newspapers and magazines.
Michael Moore's political enthusiasm is indeed very high-especially in the United States, where the public generally does not care about politics-it is inevitable that people will be regarded as "lunatics." Interestingly, this fat lunatic movie reminds me of a Taiwanese article-Li Ao and Michael·Moore should be regarded as a kind of author: Collecting, collating information, presenting the facts, cursing the leaders, I believe I have read Li Ao’s People are familiar with this number of ways. It is worth noting that Li Ao said, "...Then we have revolutionized, Xiang Yu can shout like this, the King of Chu, and Li Zicheng can also shout like this, you can't shout like this, why? The weapons used by Xiang Yu and the king of Chu, Li Zicheng Weapons, like a ruler, you have a knife, I have a knife, you stab, I have a stab. Almost. The ruler of any government in the world now uses machine guns, dadas, tanks, Kakaka, (you) didn’t have any tricks at all. I lost....” From this point of view, the reason the U.S. government allows civilians to own guns is so “great”: the federal government has too much violence in order to allow the people to be able to Self-defense, the ability to resist the government that oppresses them, and the ability to revolutionize. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution allows citizens to legally own guns. What a "democracy"! Michael Moore seems to be a bit "extreme". In fact, I think the two people are not in conflict. Li Ao means "the people must be smart, and freedom depends on wisdom", while Michael Moore's view is that the proliferation of guns will only bring harm to ordinary people and intensify social conflicts. There is no benefit in maintaining democracy. Li Ao has already been here, and everyone has different opinions on how to say it. Sometimes I also daydream, what will happen to this fat man in China?
Well, it's time to talk about bowling. On April 22, 1999, two high school students from Columbine Middle School opened fire on the campus. Dozens of classmates and teachers were killed and injured. That morning, they played two rounds of bowling in the arena before they came to the campus. The local militia used the bowling pin as a design target because it "looks a lot like people." Is there any connection? Could it be that the game of bowling entices two young men to commit crimes? This was ridiculous, and Michael Moore later proved it to us: it is as ridiculous as blaming black people or rock music for the problem. As for why it is called, I think it might be a kind of irony. The word Columbine is not only a place name, but also a meaning "pigeon, pigeon-like" (the title can also be translated as "pigeon-like bowling"^_^). In this "dove-like" town, Lockheed Martin, one of the world's largest weapons manufacturers, is located here.
