Michael Moore

Over the weekend i have watched a couple of Michael Moore documentaries. These are 'Bowling for Columbine' and 'Farenheit 911'. The style and approach in both documenteries is similar. Michael Moore is very involved in them particularly in 'Bowling for Columbine' as he meets students from Columbine and interviews many people who are pro guns in America. In Both documentaries his opinion is very clear and the opinion of the film is also clear. For example 'Farenheit 911' is pinning blame on president Bush for the attack on 911 and looking at his mistakes as a president. It is very anti the American government. There is also hints of this in 'Bowling for Columbine' when Moore looks at how easy guns and bullets can be bought aswell as the system for single mothers to work.

There are elements from this that we will take into our own documentary. For example we will be taking an active role interviewing people and carrying out investigations. However i don't think we will have such a strong opinion leading the documentary.
