Michael Moore's film is a political commentary with a strong political stance. From the perspective of filmmaking, this is an excellent documentary. It focuses on disadvantaged groups, has humanistic feelings, and opposes the violence of the US government against other countries. It is very impressive, including Chinese people. Including all the audience, he selected powerful materials, used clever editing and packaging, and presented his views forcefully, which is very convincing and can almost represent justice. No wonder his words are not dared to be underestimated in American politics.
But it is precisely because of the excellent quality of his documentaries that he can objectively reflect many deep-seated problems that make me feel hopeless. There is no cure for violence in the United States. Moore begins with a satire on the United States: the president is ordering the bombing of a country whose name is hard to pronounce. 02年是这样，92年、12年、未来的无数年，美国依然会这样，谁不服就揍谁，只要美国还是世界第一，这个揍性就不会改，爱啊和平啊，都是去fucking lie.
Moore carried the camera around and asked: What was the cause of the school shooting? Is it because of the legality of gun ownership and the proliferation of guns? He knew clearly in his heart that no, Canada also has a lot of guns, why the shootings are not as frequent as in the United States, but this does not prevent him from going to the media to force K supermarket to stop selling guns.
It’s like a wandering doctor, with limited medical skills, who doesn’t know the cause of the disease when he sees a doctor, but still dares to prescribe medicine for the patient to drink. The medicine doesn’t solve the problem, and it may be poisonous, but it’s not important, the important thing is that I have done something and let The world has become a better place. It doesn't matter whether the US can solve their problems by dropping bombs in Iraq and Syria. The US is doing things and maintaining world peace.
Why can Moore and the United States do that? Because they are powerful, director Moore is not like a fat lower-class wage earner like in the movie. He is an important media person in the United States. Compared with K supermarket, he is absolutely strong. Under the premise that guns are legal in the United States, Does it make sense to ban the sale of guns in a supermarket? Isn't it bullying? But the supermarket couldn't afford to offend Moore, so it had to cooperate with Moore's show, giving in on the surface, but in fact it was ten thousand dissatisfied.
Moore actually thinks it is a victory of justice, and he is still asking about the deep-seated reasons for the violence in the United States. The reason lies in him. Moore, like the US government he opposes, likes to use force to subdue people, and he uses the power of the media. Forcing K supermarkets to stop selling guns is a living example. Moore blames the US government for its demonstration of violence. Yes, there is what kind of government there is for what kind of people.
Some time ago, it was circulated on Weibo that a father in the United States apologized to a pedestrian who accidentally touched his daughter while walking. Fighting if you don't listen. The root cause of the problem is that their country is too powerful, it has been strong for too long, and the capital is arrogant, which also contributes to this arrogance. Therefore, there is no solution to the gun problem in the United States.
The gun president was criticized by Moore as a bad guy, but I think this old man has expressed the essence of the problem. Americans worship violence. Banning guns cannot solve this problem. With this kind of violence worship, it is impossible to ban guns.
