Really quite a wonderful film. Somewhat insightful into the gun culture and obsession over such things in American society even with such evidence against all that it stands for. The film was funny in places and sombre and really quite shocking in other parts. The music used was wonderful (mostly aimed at the use of Beethoven's 9th symphony. I can't remember the rest of the music used but it was probably wonderful) and relevant. I would recommend this film to anyone mature enough to understand the shocking message this film contains.
