Great as movie but evasive in reality

Rating: Null/10 (25 January 2001)

I saw this movie twice, once in a theater and once in cable. I noticed some violent scene was cut ( the horrible biting curb scene is not shown in Korean cable channel.) As a movie, this movie is well portraying a human who is obsessed with hatred itself and drama is very touching and moving.
However, I don't really agree on that this movie is facing the reality of racism. Rather than that, by presenting extremity of character, this movie gives notion of safety to people. For white people, this movie says, "You're not really a racist. don't worry'. and for minority, this movie tells that "What you've been treated isn't from racial discrimination, something much worse and physical is."
In reality, no one ever I know is a skinhead. Everyone is little bit of hypocrite with multiple standards and many part of it is melt into everyday behavior. That aspect is exaggerated to other people with different color than same colored one. Racial discrimination today comes from very much subconscious level of mind indeed.
According to implication of this movie, everything is so clear because it's dealing with extreme people. 'Hatred is bad. don't waste your time to hate.' That's easy problem to solve, clear message to give. but is it facing heart of american racial conflict? very little.
