There once was a time when an issue would arise, a film-crew would seek the answer and thus a documentary be born. Things have changed.
Micheal Moore's highly animated, informative and quirky film on the effects of guns and media is less of a documentary and more like Socio-Propaganda. Moore portrays himself as the suffering yet witty philosopher and Moore uses viewer empathy to be the vehicle on his completely, one-sided journey. This is evident from the start when he decides to begin with a montage of daily life to show that he too is the Everyman.
The real problem is the issue (guns/media), is too big to summarise without taking a viewpoint. Bowling for Columbine has made it mind up where its going before it gets there.
