Bowling for Colombine essay

The media is scaring you Americans into homicides

            America's media is promoting fear in to the minds of Americans which in fact is one of the reasons why Americans have so many homicides. In the Movie Bowling for Columbine the fact is said over and over again that the fear in media is making people kill other people. The directer puts some motifs in his movie that relates to this fact. Michale Moore goes to a shooting in la and talks to cops and reporters about the incident. The news is show some times in this movie and the clips of the news is of fear and telling people the scary things that happen in their town. The final supporting motif is of South Park and how it shows fear in the clips shown. These motifs are a good supporting ideas of the thesis that is stated.

            The cops and reports are always doing something that has to do with fear. During the movie Michale Moore went to a shooting in LA and talked to the cops and a reporter about the news and why this came ahead of other stories and why the cops are more worried about the shooting then other crimes. Michale Moore talks to the cops about why they would take priority of this gun shooting instead of other crimes that are not as big but still are important in the world. The cop has no answer and said that the other crime was not important. When he talked to the reporter he said that in the media an thing that has to do with guns gets top priority. This is how the media is making the viewers scared and making them homicidal.

           The evening news is showing all the homicides and scaring people with them. The media comes up a lot in this movie but especially the news. The News is a commonly used motif that Michale Moore uses to tell the audience that the media is putting fear in to peoples minds. There are a lot if news broadcasters in this movie that over and over again are talking about fear and shoving it at the viewers. The one person talks about the gun shooting in LA and the other one talks about how many guns and how easy it is to hid guns in someones pants. The news broadcasters are given people fear.

         South Park is one of the motifs that Moore uses to demonstrate that Media brings fear into the viewers minds. There are three times that South park is shown. The first time is the entry that shows people hurting themselves and a homeless person on the sidewalk. The second time is an interview with the writer and he says that he let his anger and his frustration out when he created the episodes. The third and final example is they use South Park to explain the history of the united states and the violence that when the Americans first came over it was to get rid of fear but they were scared when they arrived because of the natives. The clips shown are fear full and are making Americans more violent.

          Michale Moore is a great film producer that uses many motifs and examples to get his point across. The movie main thesis is that the media is bring fear into the viewers minds and that is a big reason why there is so many homicides. he uses three motifs. The cops and reporters taking guns and anything with fear in it first before other less fear full topics. The news is shown and is always show with fear in the stories. Michale Moore goes to Colorado to show the shooting at Columbine and well there he talks to the guy who made South Park. south park is a motif in the movie that states fear in the clips they show. There are lots of motifs in this movie and more then three that support the thesis but the three that this essay is talking about are the main or big motifs that Michale Moore uses and show to state his point. That is what Michale Moore thinks what about you, why is there so many homicides?
