For those o f you lucky enough to be spending this Halloween with a special someone, go on and rub it in our faces by dressing up as a dashing duo. '1ère are some ideas:

that they cannot be seen. M u ch o f the film centres around what took place in Littleton on A p ril 20, 1999. This is the fateful day that tw o high school students w en t on a m urderous rampage, m ow in g dow n teachers and fellow students like they were inanimate targets. [C oincidentally, this was also the day that the U S dropped the largest number o f bombs on Kosovo in the entire m ilitary campaign.] M o o re befriends tw o o f the victims; one showed numerous scars from his bullet wounds, the other w ill remain in a wheelchair fo r the rest o f his life. W ith M o o re ’s help, these tw o coura geous young m en decide that they w an t to return the bullets that rem ain in th eir bodies to their source, and head to K m art’s corp o rate headquarters to make their voic es heard. T h e confrontation that fo l lows is exhilarating: K m art actually listens to what they hear, and within

24 hours decides to pull all am mu nition o f f its shelves. Despite the feeling o f victory over an uncaring corporate m onolith, the viewer can not escape sadness; w h y d id it take a personal visit from tragedy victims for K m art to change its ways? M o o re cannot answer this ques tion, and he does not prescribe what Am erica can do to fully change its’ ways. H ow ever, he does examine Canada, a country w ith just as many guns per capita as its violen t giant to the south. Bowling :For Columbine received C anadian fu ndin g, and finds M o o re visiting both W in d sor and T oron to in search o f clues as to the difference between Am ericans and Canadians. H e finds that Canadians are not scared in the same w ay that Am ericans are, when he walks right into a number o f un locked hom es in d ow n tow n T o ro n to . O n e y ou n g m an asks, “ W h y should w e be afraid o f our neighbours?” A n d this is the im por tant difference. Am erica is a country that is scared and has been so since

its in cep tion . Even C h arlton H eston, head o f the N R A , admits that he has no reason to fear person al harm, despite his claim that he needs his weapons for self-defence. M o o re interviews the aged actor w ith such ferocity that he is asked to leave. A n d that is where Bowling For Columbine ends. In tw o hours, M o o re has taken his audience across N o rth Am erica, forcing us to view the insanity that thrives in the US.
