Wilfing on the web I found the title of this blog as a good definition of the documental object. I think in this movie Michael Moore have a good touching of some of the deepest causes of violence. And quit behind the economic problem which I think is the cornerstone; I love two ideas: The ancestral fear that is explicit in the cartoon and the analysis that is made in the documental about the mass media as a clue driving force of violence. I just would add the intolerance of orthodox religion beliefs as another important cause. And I want to suggest one antidote remembering what was said by William de Baskerville in The name of the rose: "laughter kills fear".

Hi Amparito,
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a subtle but telling difference between saying "thank you for saving my life" and "thank you for saving my lifestyle." The second one seems incredible selfish, no? How do you see intolerance from those who are orthodoxically religious as contributing to gun violence? Are you talking about religious fundamentalists who support gun ownership at any cost?
Nice quote!
I look forward to seeing your Thanksgiving blog soon!
