Moore’s movie
This movie has not changed my mind about the guns control, however has made me feel surer and more confidence about my toughs because it shows how the people can live with guns, and without violence. As we can see in the documentary, in Canada the people have more guns that the people in United States, nevertheless they have less violence index and less murder than in united states. It sounds kind of ironic because united state has more gun restrictions than Canada. Meaning if the people live with the guns, they will learn the good way to use it, and also they will use it less. I think people will be more aware about the consequence of using the gun in the bad way if they have not only the opportunity to get guns, but also the opportunity to leave with them.

Regarding to Moore’s way, I think it was successful because he could reach his goal. He could show to everybody both how people lived in the columbine tragedy day and their suffering. The fact that he won an Oscar award is another clear reason of why he was victorious with his movie. Moore was so smart regarding to the method that he used since he tried to be nice with the people that he needed in order to get the enough information for doing this documentary, so he got it.
In add to the things said before, I would like to say that I am agree with the criticize when they said that Moore was not completely clear in his documentary insomuch he edited key parts of the movie either for making it more interesting or for trying to hide a cloudy point, for example, in the Charlton Heston’s speech, Moore deleted the part in which Heston said his company had canceled the festivities that usually the fellowship enjoyed, and also he apologized to everybody for that. These things were not showed by Moore in his documentary, so this action makes me doubt about the exact Moore’s intentions.
Concerning with to pitch a movie, I would like to see Moore filming a movie about white slave trade. This is important to me because Colombia is the third country in Latin America with the high number of victim of trafficking, so this is a worrying situation. The documentary should show how the people is sold and exploited by the dealers, and the modalities used by them for abusing to the people such as exploitation in the domestic work, forced prostitution, servile marriages and farm labor amongst others. Furthermore the documentary would be useful for showing to the international organizations this problem in order to get more attention from them, and then find solutions to solve this social problem. Moreover, the movie would help the citizen to become aware about the risk of the people is running in these victim countries.
Hi Meli,
ReplyDeleteFantastic post! You are certainly right that a lot of your points were justified and supported by Moore's movie. Canada is the perfect example of a country that has high gun-ownership and low gun-related deaths.
You also make some very valid points concerning Moore's editing of Heston and other parts of the film. One wonders why Moore didn't just present the data and information he had. It STILL would have been very convincing, and people wouldn't be able to question *his* integrity the way that he had been questioning others'!!
Regarding the situation in Colombia: is this the present or the past? It wasn't clear to me from your post, and there are estimates that more people are being bought and sold in slavery today than when slavery was legal. Frightening. Either way, sounds like an important movie.
Great job!
jess..Colombia still has those problems.they are not very loud, but people know about that. ALso it is illegal and very dangerous...
