I watched this film called Bowling for Columine in college...

it really had an affect on me! i was crying for 45 minutes when i was watching it, and feeling really low for hours and hours after watching it ~ but was just, dont have any words for it.

Mind expanding.

Go rent it.

    Gun culture :no: . Never ceases to amaze me. And not in a good way, either.

    Yes, definitely worth watching. Gives you an understanding of how corrupt politics in the States (and indeed, anywhere else) can be.

    Though I do think his book 'Stupid White Men' was a little bit fault-finding. It made some good points about how terrible the Bush administration is, but it got a bit obsessed with picking out faults rather than presenting a balanced argument. If you know what I mean?

    Hmm. Well the people who made that have made Touching the Void which I saw a preview of the other day and it was not pleasant to watch. I don't like those sort of films.

    It is outstanding, really and that part where they played 'Wonderful World' and they show the statistics of death tolls and whatnot. That film made me think... a lot. And anything that makes me think is bloody good.

    Yeah ive not rad that book, but this film was very one sided too, but, i dont think too much of the Bush administration so im happy with it being one sided :p maybe there really only is one side that deserves being talked about when it comes to violence?

    It really wasnt pleasent to watch at all, but im going to rent it out and watch all of it. It was horrible though.

    Hege im glad i didnt bunk now tim! that film opened my eyes up.
