Bowling for Columbine is a 2002 American documentary film written, produced, directed, and narrated by Michael Moore. The film explores what Moore suggests are the causes for the Columbine High School massacre in 1999 and other acts of violence with guns. Moore focuses on the background and environment in which the massacre took place and some common public opinions and assumptions about related issues. The film also looks into the nature of violence in the United States.
the clip i am about to show you is a interview between Actor Charlton Heston and Michael moore about gun voilence in america and gun control.
Charlton heston is best know to people for his roles in his landmark film such as ben hur and planet of the apes and he was a big gun lover as you have just seen in the intreview as i watched the clip i thought he was not ansering michael Moores questions flairly just grunting and shrugging his shoulders i think the bit where Michael Morre showed the picture of the young girl who had been killed to Charlton Heston good film footage because i think it showed him as a heartless coward who cant face the truth
Michael moore he is a filmaker known for his controverisal documentarys such as Bowling for Columbine 9/11 and sicko all have been controversial but loved by the public when you watch the clip he also is a member of a gun club but he also states that not everyone in america needs a loaded gun in there house hold.
I picked the clip because i didnt want to play it safe and show a clip from planet earth for something along those lines i picked the clip because i thought it was risky and it didnt play it safe i mean going into a big hollywood stars house and slating him for having a rally after a little girl had been shot and killed there the night before was a risky thing to do and i think controverisal moments in films music video games tv etc always make things more fun then to things that play it safe.
a lot of people thought the moment where Michael Moore pulled the picture out of the little girl who had been shot and killed was nasty and heartless a lot of people thought he was bullying a sick old man who isnt quite there anymore a lot of people also said that Moore was a hipocrite for being a member of a gun club then slating it but also a lot of people backed morre up saying it was rising and the recation was intersating and saying Charlton heston deserved it for running a rally there he even says in the interview he was aware of what had happened.
Reviews for the film were overwhelmingly positive, with a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes,[12] thus earning a "certified fresh" award. Another score aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating in the 0–100 range based on reviews from top mainstream critics, calculated an average score of 72, based on 32 reviews, signifying 'generally favorable reviews. Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune wrote, "It's unnerving, stimulating, likely to provoke anger and sorrow on both political sides—and, above all, it's extremely funny."[13]
Some reviews were not as unequivocally glowing. A.O. Scott of The New York Times wrote, "The slippery logic, tendentious grandstanding, and outright demagoguery on display in Bowling for Columbine should be enough to give pause to its most ardent partisans, while its disquieting insights into the culture of violence in America should occasion sober reflection from those who would prefer to stop their ears."[14] Desson Thomson of The Washington Post thought that the film lacked a coherent message, asking "A lot of this is amusing and somehow telling. But what does it all add up to?"[15]
I thought in a way Michael Moore was picking on a old man who has gone a bit crazy as time has gone by but in a way I think it is good for the documentary even though you think he is being a bit of a bully he is getting his point across and a times is a hard watch but you can not keep your eyes of the screen.
For my radio drama I choose to worked with Kyle, I worked with Kyle because I thought it would be a laugh.
The radio drama is about a battle in space sort of like star wars star trek etc. we based the drama on war films because that is the idea we wanted to do Tim plays a cocky general Andrew plays himself and a gay cocky sort of marine and I play a slow northern.
It reminds of really cheesy old films like the director ed wood would make or films with Arnold Sylvester and Bruce Willis would star in with other the top action sequences with the sound effects I will be using rap music to get my point across and zombie sound noises car alarms etc. to get the stories point across.
With the genre I think it is a mix of action and comedy both being very funny but very horror like at the same time but the main focus is to keep the Radio drama funny and fun for people to listen to.
