It just happened so suddenly, it never ends

If you could go back to the day before they killed, what would you say to those two children?

I will not say anything to them, I will listen to what they say, but unfortunately no one can hear it, nor has it been before.

He asked a farmer who had memorized the Declaration of Independence, why didn't he learn from Gandhi? He defeated the British Empire without weapons. The answer of this eloquent farmer is—I am totally unclear about this matter. People from this United States have immigrated from all over the world and know nothing about the outside world. They only know that every year the president orders the bombing of a country whose name is difficult to spell out, and that the government will be overthrown by the support of the United States. Amidst the singing of "what a wonderful day", high school students living in "heaven" massacred more than forty people in the school indiscriminately. The reasons for this are too complicated. The Self-Defense Forces, action stars, and arms dealers all took out this film without too much trouble. The messy relationship makes people desperate. That's how he happened, that's how it ended, and it will happen in the future. Because you won't tell your children that they have classmates like you, they killed more than forty people around you for no reason, you should never learn from them. The more you emphasize, the more people will learn. All you can do is to pray that they never have such thoughts. I really hate world police documentaries like Dolphin Bay, where the people on the crew pierce the ugliness of the world like heroes in their images. But what if they point their aiming head at themselves?

    On an ordinary morning, the farmers went out to the fields, the newspapers were delivered on time, and the United States bombed another country with a hard-to-pronounce name. I was going to pick up a gun and go to school. Yes, the weapons factory in Sudan has now been changed to aspirin. This is our world. If it is not wiped clean, where will the economic miracle come from?

    It is not completely convincing, but it creates more room for thinking. And you can see the director's very strong personal position and feelings, of course, this is not necessarily a shortcoming. In fact, from a certain angle, although this film satirizes the media's propaganda of the concept of "fear", it actually plays the same role to some extent.

Bowling for Columbine quotes

  • Michael Moore: I left the Heston estate atop Beverly Hills and walked back into the real world. To an America living and breathing in fear. Where gun sales are now at an all record high. And where, in the end, it all comes back to 'Bowling for Columbine'.

  • Marilyn Manson: When I was a kid growing up, music was the escape. That's the only thing that had no judgments. You know, you put on a record, and it's not going to yell at you for dressing the way you do. It's going to make you feel better about it.
