REJECTED LRT ROUTES Another line we considered using but ultimately rejected was Bay street as there are too many residential areas along that road. For instance, from Aberdeen avenue to Jackson street we noted that there is an array of Condos and homes.

easily deceiving and misleading the viewer. Moore uses deception as its primary tool of persuasion and effect.      A major theme in Bowling for Columbine is that the NRA is coldhearted towards the killings. In the movie Charlton Heston (President of the NRA) comes to Denver to hold a large pro-gun rally for the National Rifle Association. During Heston’s speech he reads a message from the mayor of Denver that states, “

The Never Ending Cultural Views It started with a man named Charlton Heston whom spoke his views at a Harvard Law School Forum. By him speaking his mind it proved that the cultural balance is still in favor of ignorance.

There is a purpose for every camera angle used in the documentary

finding out the key causes of why America has the highest amount of gun related deaths in the world. Moore does this by venturing to Flint Michigan, Ontario Canada, Littleton Colorado, South Central Los Angeles, and interviewing the locals, Charles Heston (the president of the National Rifles Association), Marilyn Manson, Evan McCollum (director of communications for Lockheed Martin Space Systems), and those who knew of or were involved with the Columbine high school shooting.

In our latest films, Ben- Hur (1959) directed by William Wyler and cinematography by Robert Surtees and Ben-Hur (2016) directed Timur Bekmambetov and cinematography by Oliver Wood. In the midst of both films, Judah Ben-Hur, a Jew, is battling the Roman Empire. His actions send him and his family into slavery, but an encounter with Jesus could change his life forever.
