During this film, we see Michael Moore interviewing Charles Heston about his views on gun crime in the United States of America and Canada. After watching this a few times, it's clear that Michael Moore has a more dominating role throughout the 9-or-so minutes of the interview. Throughout every question Moore asked, Heston would begin to answer in a degree in which Moore disagreed with, and Heston would be cut short, making him look like the bad guy. It seemed to be that no matter what Heston stated, he was always going to be wrong. I think it was very rude of Michael Moore to treat Charles Heston as he did. He may not have agreed, but his professionalism really did fly out the window. It didn't show Moore in a very good light.
The YouTube viewers that also watched this interview segment all share similar views. I completely agree with them, however I do believe there is more reasoning to Moore's persistent nagging and criticising.

Even though I disagree with Moore's interviewing technique, I believe he was doing it for a reason. In my head, if I wanted to get the ultimate truth out of someone, I would keep badgering them until they finally gave in and told me. I feel like this is what Moore was doing.
Towards the very end of this interview segment, Charles Heston decides to leave Michael Moore as he seems to be finding it very frustrating, as he has been unable to get a word in edgeways. With an overwhelming sensation, as he leaves, Moore decides to play the guilt trip. He began showing him a photo of a small girl that died due to legalised gun crime, in which Heston did not seem to care.
Cheerio. :o)
