As I said before, I think he brings up some good points. However, he makes some of these points by bullying innocent people (take, for example the K-Mart scene in Bowling for Columbine) and carrying himself like a self-proclaimed messiah. Also, I would have more respect for his movies if he didn't use such propaganda-like methods. A fact has a lot more impact when presented at face value, rather than pumped up on emotional steroids. Or, at least, if you're going to use heart-string tugging, do it tactfully, in small doses. But, I will give credit where credit is due. He definitely does his research, and is definitely very dedicated to a basically good cause, even if (I think) it might be partly out of hubris. |
