Bowling for Columbine is an alternately humourous and horrifying film about the United States. It is a film about the state of the Union, about the violent soul of America. Why do 11,000 people die in America each year at the hands of gun violence? The talking heads yelling from every TV camera blame everything from Satan to video games. But are we that much different from many other countries? What sets us apart? How have we become both the master and victim of such enormous amounts of violence? This is not a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and soul of the United States, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi.

Bowling for Columbine Film Synopsis

This is not a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and soul of the United States, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi. From a look at the Columbine High School security camera tapes to the home of Oscar-winning NRA President Charlton Heston, from a young man who makes homemade napalm with The Anarchist's Cookbook to the murder of a six-year-old girl by another six-year-old. Bowling for Columbine is a journey through the US, through our past, hoping to discover why our pursuit of happiness is so riddled with violence.

A movie based on untruth = propagandaWow, where to start. This movie, as with all of Moore's movies, is based completely on misleading questions that are cut together after interviews to change the topics and tones of the conversations. There are so many movies, papers, interviews and articles debunking everything he stated in this movie that if you think it's actually serving some good, other than showing how easily the American people believe something they see on a TV screen, then you're in for trouble. Moore is just as good as any conservative talk show host in expressing his point without true facts and burning every bridge along the way. Moore's entire life is based on a fabrication and this movie smacks with dramatization and left-wing propaganda. Just ask Ralph Nader who Moore really cares about..Score: 1/5

TERRIBLEIt should be listed as a comedic documentary. It is all about half-truths and deceptions. Beware of Moore and his motives/agenda..Score: 1/5

What a Surprise?Not only is this film informative and well done, it’s in general a real eye opener. It’s funny because I came to this listing to see from my phone if I owned it on my Apple TV. I saw the low ratings and thought ‘That’s odd’. Are people allowed to dislike MM? Sure! But was the general public THAT disappointed in it? Nope. No chance. So I’m talking to myself thinking who would bother coming to write a negative review of a movie that’s been out for so long? I joked- Gun People? Jokes on me because all of the negative reviewers are NRA wannabes. If you don’t like him, good god, don’t watch this movie. If it’s bumming you out, for heaven sakes turn it off. If you’re open minded and interested in learning, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed..Score: 5/5

„Sind wir verrückt nach Waffen, oder einfach nur verrückt?“ … Mit lakonischem Zynismus und beißendem Witz geht Regisseur Michael Moore, ausgehend vom Columbine Highschool Massaker im April 1999, auf eine wahnwitzige Reise in das Herz Amerikas. Er porträtiert mit bewegender Emotionalität und mitunter feuilletonistischen Volten voll absurder Komik eine Nation zwischen Waffenfetischismus und angstbesetzter Paranoia. Ein Volk mit dem Colt im Anschlag für die permanente Selbstverteidigung.

Magyar
1999. április 20-án, azon a napon, amikor az USA a legnagyobb erejű bombázást hajtotta végre a koszovói háborúban, a Columbine középiskolában vérengzés történt: diákok lőttek diáktársaikra. Ez a megrázó eset indította Michael Moore-t, hogy elkészítse merész dokumentumfilmjét az Egyesült Államok és az agresszió kapcsolatáról. Elevenbe vágóan éles szellemmel indul Moore felfedezőútra Amerika szívébe, hogy lássa és láttassa, miért van tele brutális erőszakkal az amerikaiak élete, miközben megállás nélkül a boldogságot keresik.

Français
Michael Moore enquête sur la violence provoquée par les armes à feu aux Etats-Unis. Son point de départ est la tragédie du lycée Columbine dans le Colorado en 1999. Des dizaines de lycéens avaient alors été assassinés par deux de leurs camarades.

Português
«Bowling for Columbine» é um inquérito, devastador e cáustico, sobre o estado da nação, a cultura do medo e a psicose das armas nos Estados Unidos. Porque é que morrem cerca de onze mil pessoas por ano no país por causa de armas de fogo é o mote deste documentário, construído a partir da tragédia do liceu de Columbine, em que dois adolescentes massacraram a tiro treze pessoas e depois se suicidaram. Não é, no entanto, um documentário sobre o controlo de armas, mas sim um filme que se interroga porque é que é assim na América e porque é que o medo se instalou na alma dos americanos. Moore pergunta-se como é que no Canadá, a comercialização de armas também é livre, e existem menos crimes com armas de fogo. Mas não cai na facilidade e no simplismo redutor de atribuir culpas a jogos de computador ou grupos de música, porque essa é uma justificação tão válida, como atribuir a tragédia de Columbine ao bowling, que os dois adolescentes jogaram antes de cometerem o massacre.

Italiano
Il film è dedicato al tema dell'uso delle armi in America, facendo riferimento alle stragi nelle scuole americane, in particolare al massacro della Columbine High School, vicino a Denver e Littleton, nel Colorado, nella quale due ragazzi armati di fucile entrarono nella loro scuola dove uccisero 12 studenti e un insegnante per poi suicidarsi. La realizzazione del documentario ha portato l'autore in giro per gli Stati Uniti, fino alla finale intervista all'ex-attore Charlton Heston, presidente della National Rifle Association (letteralmente Associazione Nazionale dei Fucili in inglese). Spostatosi in Canada per approfondire il tema dell'uso delle armi, Moore giunge alla conclusione che non è l'arma in sé a creare il crimine, ma la paura del crimine stesso che negli Stati Uniti, attraverso i suoi mezzi d'informazione e l'uso politico delle differenze sociali, porta chiunque a diffidare del prossimo, trascinando questi contrasti a forme di difesa personale eccessiva.

Español
Famoso documental que aborda la cuestión de la violencia en América. ¿Por qué 11.000 personas mueren cada año en Estados Unidos víctimas de las armas de fuego? Los "bustos parlantes" vociferan desde la pantalla de TV echándole la culpa ya a Satán ya a los videojuegos. Pero, ¿en qué se diferencia Estados Unidos de otros países? ¿Por qué Estados Unidos se ha convertido en responsable y víctima de tanta violencia? "Bowling for Columbine" no es una película sobre el control de la venta de armas, es una película sobre el miedo de 280 millones de norteamericanos que se sienten más seguros sabiendo que la tenencia de armas es un derecho consagrado por la Constitución.

普通话
  这部记录片拍摄的起因是美国哥伦比亚中学的校园枪击事件。纪录片人摩尔着眼于大屠杀的背景、环境以及公众对这个事件反应,深入到美国暴力事件的本质,把枪支作为一种符号来探讨美国自由和自我毁灭之间的联系与矛盾。摩尔通过与南方公园作者Matt Stone、美国枪支协会时任主席Charlton Heston和音乐人Marilyn Manson等人的互动,逐步揭示出科伦拜恩大屠杀发生和美国高暴力犯罪的根源。

Pусский
США лидируют в мире по числу убийств с применением огнестрельного оружия. Стволов в стране больше, чем телевизоров. Американцы не могут жить без оружия или просто сошли с ума? Кто или что стоит за этим? Расовые проблемы, которые ещё предстоит решить? Голливуд, рок-н-ролл, Интернет? А может, историческая предрасположенность к насилию? В центре фильма — трагический инцидент: перестрелка в колледже Колумбины. Спорный, глубокий, порой ехидный взгляд на взаимосвязь насилия и страха в современной Америке.

Český
Vážný i humorný, sarkastický pohled na posedlost USA zbraněmi. Na pozadí masakru na Columbineské střední škole se režisér Michael Moore vydává na pouť po Spojených státech, aby blíže prozkoumal příčiny, které ženou Američany neustále žít v paranoidním strachu před zlem, servírovaným všemocnými médii. Slavný celovečerní dokument se stal kasovním trhákem a vyvolal vášnivé polemiky mezi diváky.

svenska
Efter dödsskjutningarna i Columbines High School Undersöker Michael Moore varför USA har världens högsta andel mord begågna med skjutvapen. Han intervjuar unga och gamla, folket på gatan och officiella personer, bl.a. Charlton Heston och Marilyn Manson om vad de tror orsakerna är.

Michael Moore zoekt naar de oorzaken van het bloedbad van 20 april 1999 in het Amerikaanse Littleton waar 2 leerlingen van de Columbine High School in de refter met halfautomatische geweren begonnen te schieten. .

קולומביין הוא שם של ביה"ס תיכון בעיירה ליטלטון בקולורדו. ב-20 לאפריל 1999 השכימו שניים מתלמידי בית הספר והלכו לשחק באולינג בשש בבוקר. לאחר המשחק הלכו לביה"ס, התחילו לירות לכל עבר ובתום הטבח התאבדו. התוצאה 13 הרוגים ועשרות פצועים. מייקל מור,שזכה באוסקר לסרט התיעודי על סרט זה, יוצא מנקודת מוצא של אירועי קולומביין לחקור את אובססיית הנשק של האמריקאים. התוצאה היא סרט מניפולטיבי ודמגוגי (ומאוד אקטואלי באנטי-אמריקאיות שלו) אשר מצליח לעלות לא פעם חיוך על פני הצופים למרות הנושא הקשה, בעיקר בזכות הכשרון הרב של יוצרו. אחד הסרטים התיעודיים המבריקים של כל הזמנים.

Português
Documentário que investiga a fascinação dos americanos pelas armas de fogo. Michael Moore, diretor e narrador do filme, questiona a origem dessa cultura bélica e busca respostas visitando pequenas cidades dos Estados Unidos, onde a maior parte dos moradores guarda uma arma em casa. Entre essas cidades está Littleton, no Colorado, onde fica o colégio Columbine. Lá os adolescentes Dylan Klebold e Eric Harris pegaram as armas dos pais e mataram 14 estudantes e um professor no refeitório. Michael Moore também faz uma visita ao ator Charlton Heston, presidente da Associação Americana do Rifle.

български език
Манията по оръжията в САЩ е достигнала такива размери, че на пръв поглед не е нужно Майкъл Мур да изобличава нейната лудост. Водещият агитатор на Америка отново е в отлична форма, изследвайки вманиачеността на сънародниците си по оръжията. Прави чест на Мур, че той не взема на подбив лесните мишени. Мур е намерил банка в Мичиган, която раздава пистолети на открилите нова сметка при тях. Съобщавайки това, той насочва вниманието си към медиите и страха, който те насаждат у хората. Заклеймяването на оръжейната индустрия се разширява, за да включи националната култура на всявания ужас, която е отговорна за печалбите й.

한국어/조선말
99년 4월 20일 별다를 것 없는 아침. 콜로라도의 소년 에릭과 딜란은 볼링을 하러 갔다. 그런데 그 날, 콜로라도 리틀톤의 콜럼바인 고교에서 끔찍한 총격사건이 벌어졌다. 평소 트렌치코트 마피아라고 자칭했던 에릭과 딜란이 900여발의 총알을 시원하게 날려 학생 열 둘에 교사 한 명을 죽이고, 자기네들도 그 자리에서 스스로 목숨을 끊은 것이다. 사건이 일어나기 1시간 전, 클린턴 대통령은 코소보 전역에 걸쳐 미군 대공습을 발표했다. 누구의 책임일까를 궁금해 하던 마이클 무어는 무작정 세계 최대 무기 메이커 록히드 마틴사를 찾아간다.

Română
De ce 11.000 de oameni mor în America în fiecare an în mâinile violenței armate? Capetele vorbitoare strigă de la fiecare cameră dând vina pe toți de la Satana la jocurile video. Dar suntem atât de mult diferiți de multe alte țări? Ce ne îndepărtează? Cum am devenit atât stăpâni, cât și victime a unor astfel de cantități enorme de violență? Acesta nu este un film despre controlul armelor. Este un film despre inima și sufletul înspăimântător al Statelor Unite, iar cei 280 de milioane de americani au norocul să aibă dreptul la un uzi protejat constituțional. Dintr-o privire la casetele de securitate din cadrul liceului Columbine, la domiciliul președintelui Asociației Naționale a Puștilor (NRA), de la un tânăr care face un napalm de casă cu cartea de bucate Anarhistă la uciderea unei fete de șase ani de către un alt șase- documentarul este o călătorie prin America, prin trecutul nostru, în speranța de a descoperi de ce căutarea noastră de fericire este presărată de violență.

Amerika'da son yıllarda küçük çocukların saçtığı dehşetle birlikte boyutlarını görmeye başladığımız silah kültürünü inceleyen sıradışı bir belgesel. Moore film için, silahların Amerikan kültürünün bir parçası olduğunu savunan ve silah fetişisti bir kuruluşun başkanlığını yürüten, eski oyuncu Charlton Heston ve dehşet saçan çocuklara ilham verdiği iddia edilen Marilyn Manson gibi isimlerle hassas konuyu masaya yatırıyor. Michael Moore'un gösterildiği festivallerde büyük beğeni toplayan ve bolca ödül toplayan yapımı, tüm zamanların en iyi belgeseli seçildi. Yönetmen Roger ve Ben'in ardından bir kez daha esprili ve aydınlatıcı belgesel sinemasına geri dönüyor.

Exactly one year and a day after the initial Wall Street bailout, Michael Moore (SICKO, FAHRENHEIT 9/11) looks at the global financial crisis and the U.S. economy during the transition between the incoming Obama Administration and the outgoing Bush Administration. In standard Moore fashion, he mockingly draws attention to the Wall Street and Government decisions that have enabled what he calls “the biggest robbery in the history of this country.”

Two worthy Academy Award® nominees from 1950's Sunset Boulevard – actor William Holden and director Billy Wilder – reteamed three years later for the gripping World War II drama, Stalag 17. The result was another Best Director nomination for Wilder (his fourth), and the elusive Best Actor Oscar® for Holden. Holden portrays the jaded, scheming Sergeant J.J. Sefton, a prisoner at the notorious German prison camp, who spends his days dreaming up rackets and trading with the Germans for special privileges. But when two prisoners are killed in an escape attempt, it becomes obvious that there is a spy among the prisoners. Is it Sefton? Famed producer/director Otto Preminger tackles a rare acting role as the camp's commandant; actor Robert Strauss won a Supporting Actor nomination for his role as "Animal."

The Corporation summary, synopsis, reviews
The CorporationDocumentary2005

One hundred and fifty years ago, the corporation was a relatively insignificant entity. Today, it is a vivid, dramatic and pervasive presence in all our lives. It is the dominant institution of our time. A complex, sobering, yet darkly amusing documentary, The Corporation takes its audience on a graphic and engaging quest to reveal the corporation's inner workings, curious history, controversial impacts and possible futures. Mark Achbar, co-director of the influential and inventive Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, teams up with co-director Jennifer Abbott and writer Joel Bakan to examine the far-reaching repercussions of the corporation's ascent. Based on Bakan's best-selling book, "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power", the film has achieved international critical and box office success. Winner of 10 audience awards, including Sundance, and 26 awards in total from prestigious festivals around the world, it stands as the top-grossing Canadian feature documentary of all time. The Corporation includes encounters and interviews with CEOs and top-level executives from a range of industries: energy, pharmaceutical, computer, tire, carpet, sporting goods, public relations, branding, news, advertising, and undercover marketing, as well as the first management guru, the first corporate-sponsored university students, a Nobel-prize winning economist, a corporate spy, and a range of academics, critics, historians and thinkers. The Corporation reveals that legally, a corporation is granted the status of a "person", and asks: "If that's the case, what kind of person is it?" To assess the "personality" of the corporate "person," a checklist is employed, using diagnostic criteria of the World Health Organization and the DSM IV, the standard diagnostic tool of psychiatrists and psychologists. It turns out the operational principles of the corporation give it a highly anti-social "personality": it is self-interested, inherently amoral, callous and deceitful; it breaches social and legal standards to get its way; it does not suffer from guilt, yet it can mimic the human qualities of empathy, caring and altruism. A disturbing diagnosis is delivered: the institutional embodiment of laissez-faire capitalism meets the diagnostic criteria of a psychopath. The Corporation depicts numerous, inspiring, corporate harm reduction strategies employed by individuals and organizations working to regulate, re-write and reform this formidable societal force.

Roger & Me summary, synopsis, reviews
Roger & MeComedy1989

Voted Best Documentary of the year by The National Board of Review, The National Society of Film Critics, The New York Film Critics Circle, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Circle, this is a highly personal, wryly humorous look at the closing of several General Motors plants in Flint, Michigan, the hometown of filmmaker Michael Moore (Emmy-nominee for "TV Nation"), which resulted in the elimination of 35,000 jobs. Armed with a razor-sharp wit, compassion and more than a little chutzpah, Moore offers his perceptions of what went wrong in Flint, and chronicles his much-thwarted efforts to meet face-to-face with the big man himself, GM chairman Roger Smith. Michael Moore's controversial but popular film has been included in numerous 10-Best Lists for 1989. The New York Times describes it as "rollicking... witty... leaving the audience roaring with laughter!"

Red Star Line (TV documentary)Red Star Line

Using the story of the Red Star Line as a narrative vessel, this three-part documentary by Daniël Cattier and Fabio Wuytack explains why European emigrants left their homes behind for an uncertain future. It details their trips to Antwerp, their travel across the ocean, and their adjustments to their new lives in America. Theirs are intimate yet epic journeys in which past and present merge in the forging of new identities. The film, which is shot on location in Antwerp, New York, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia and Ukraine, uses ‘emotional archaeology’ to weave a richer narrative than could be conveyed through a string of facts and figures. And walking in the footsteps of Red Star Line passengers, surprising similarities are revealed to the experiences of modern immigrants.
