29. Re: regarding bowling for columbine... Apr 21, 2003, 17:53 Schnapple
 
ok, so I'm not the only one who agrees that the film is flawed but still likes it.

I'll even bite - it's not a documentary. It's like an opinion piece. I'll ignore the oscar bit.

And I disagree with things in the film - the entire "welfare to work" bit should have been left on the cutting room floor. The disdainful comments about "rich white people" sound bad coming from a man with a $1.25M apartment and a kid in private school. And it might even be dangerous that some people might not be smart enough to see the opinions as different from the facts.

But I think that it's still got merits as a film. Sometimes I want to cheer Michael Moore and other times I want to kick his ass. But there's a lot of right stuff in this film. Hell, they got bullets out of K-Marts. I'm much more critical of the news media now, and less scared of bullshit now (though I still lock my doors - notice how he didn't go around Canada at night).

But as for the "time frame" of the interview - remember Heston ditched Moore.
