Can someone please re-word this? please? thankyou. EASY?

Michael Moore in his latest documentary, 'Bowling for Columbine', has aimed his camera directly between the eyes of our American culture. Using the school shootings of 1999 in Columbine and Flint as a starting point, Moore documents the fear and hypocrisy that has come to define this American culture. I'm going to avoid discussion of the specific material presented in this moving film; I feel no need to reinvent the wheel, it would only come out square. Personally, I have never been witness to a more powerful, more heartfelt documentary. Michael Moore, a Flint, MI native, is obviously shaken, and incensed by these shootings. In the role of forensic sociologist, he tries to reconstruct the scene of the crime. What went wrong? How were these kids led to shoot and kill their classmates? It wasn't the teasing.
