In "Bowling for Columbine," however, he is not so sure of the answers as in the popular "Roger & Me," a film in which he knew who the bad guys were, and why. No doubt this is true, but Moore has moved on from his early fondness for guns. What makes us kill so many times more fellow citizens than is the case in other developed nations? Moore, the jolly populist rabble-rouser, explains that he's a former sharpshooting instructor and a lifelong member of the National Rifle Association. Canada has a similar ratio of guns to citizens, but a 10th of the shooting deaths. What bothers him is that we so frequently shoot them at one another.
We live in a nation of millions of handguns, but that isn't really what bothers Moore. The Gorenographer does not approve.Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine," a documentary that is both hilarious and sorrowful, is like a two-hour version of that anecdote.
Murder set pieces synopsis movie#
In conclusion, this movie is a big piece of crap. Hansen plays a Nazi who gives Garrett’s character a gun, and Todd plays a porno store clerk who gets gunned down after a botched robbery. And 2) the novelty cameos by Horror icons Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface) and Tony Todd (Candyman). The gore effects were done by the fine folks behind the August Underground films (actually, those films sucked as well), and the dark blood that ran through this film in rivers was good. Two things about the film that were OK: 1) The gore, which was well done and suitably sick.
Basically any part of the film where he speaks German is funny to me. The writing in the film is often unintentially hilarious, especially one part where killer pontificates about the irony of menstration in front of Jade…her sister Charlotte (Valerie Baber, also the killer’s girlfriend in the film) of course thinks nothing of it…obviously there’s nothing unusual about a man waving a bloody knife in your sisters face while taking about women bleeding…in another scene the killer screams German at a naked blonde woman who’s nailed to a chair, also unintentionally funny. Saying that the acting is horrible would be a tremendous understatement. Ultimately, though, MSP is a steaming pile of doodie. The man tries WAY too hard to get controversy. There’s also rape, child murder, Nazism, and footage of 9/11…you can’t fault Palumbo for trying at least. If you watch this film, expect a litany of young women getting sliced up and murdered in various ways, and lots of blood caked nudity, making it something of a gorenographic classic. There are scenes which are fairly sick, but more often than not, they seem forced and lack any and all suspense. Turns out, it’s not the most extreme film ever. The fact that people like William Lustig ( Maniac), Roger Watkins ( Last House on Dead End Street), and John Carpenter ( Halloween) were reportedly impressed with Palumbo also helped. After the film was denied a certificate by the BBFC, I finally decided to see what the fuss was all about. The director of this film, Nick Palumbo, is a well-known shill and all around douche nozzle…you know that you’re a douche nozzle looking for attention when you spend most of your Director’s Cut intro talking about how much legal trouble the people who were involved in this film ran into, and you know you’re a shill when you namedrop a film that you made in one of your other movies…MULTIPLE TIMES. He and his small army of shills sang this film’s praises far and wide (“THE MOST EXTREME FILM EVAR!”), and, I’m embarrased to say, gained my curiousity. That’s literally the entire plot. There’s a subplot involving a little girl named Jade (Jade Risser) who is on to this sick mofo’s hobby, but it’s not a big part of the film. Basically, a monotone German dude with mommy issues, sideburns and a vaguely alluded to Nazi heritage (Sven Garrett) slaughters hookers and tramps for an hour and a half in Las Vegas. Summarizing the plot for Murder-Set-Pieces is a bit difficult, because there really isn’t a plot to speak of.
In any case, I will do my level best to express my thoughts on this film. Should I start with my initial thoughts on the film? That could probably also be summed up in a sentence, with perhaps a vulgar hand gesture included. What should I start with? The plot summary? That could probably be summed up in one sentence. It’s difficult for me to write about Murder-Set-Pieces.
