"Loaded Gun" crafts a splendid intersection of Emily Dickinson with pop culture. While respecting Dickinson the woman and honoring her poetic genius, the film acknowledges the wit and whimsy that so often emerges in the public obsession with her and her art. The documentary is thus an excellent teaching tool, making Dickinson's word and story accessible as well as provocative. Secondary school teachers can surely engage students in Dickinson's poetic genius through watching "Loaded Gun."
