Bowling for Columbine starts with a stock footage of people from the National Rifle Association. This made me a little more interested as I was in a bit of confusion and was trying to figure out what was happening. After watching it though, I realize that all the stock footage shown was to set the mood.
In the next scene, you see different clips of different places in America, each clip flashing across the screen quickly, creating a music video feel. You see typical people doing their ordinary jobs, along with a very traditional American piece of music playing in the background. Michael Moore’s voice is also narrating in the background, in a calm, friendly tone. But even with his tone, you can still sense the sarcasm and irony in his voice and in the music played in the background as compared to the words he is actually saying and the images shown on screen. The music slowly grows louder as he finishes his voice over.
