Stupidity rhymes with ignorance.

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2015)

Most of the story is told in flashbacks from the past, showing the viewer how Derek got to the point he was and how he managed to change his mindset to become a better person. I love the way this movie was made, because it solely focused on showing what lead to Derek killing two people, not just showing how he and his neo-nazi crew demolishes stores and assaults black people.
Derek was a normal teenager, but it only took a few minutes worth of lecturing from his father to change his life. He took his father as a role model and became a neo-nazi fanatic, falling into his ignorance and leading others to the same. When Derek's father got killed, his rage towards other races escalated even more, making him angrier than ever. Danny looked up to his older brother and ended up trying to copy him. However, just for a brief moment before Danny got killed Derek managed to change Danny's opinion on life. Just shows how easy it is to influence a life of a person close to you and change for the better.
Derek realized, that it doesn't matter what is your skin colour, you can still get along, and freed himself from the ignorance he was living in. He stopped looking at stereotypes and judging everybody before getting to know them, some people really would need to wake up and realize this in order to make a better world.
Edward Norton showed everyone once again - he can play a variety of roles, he looked just awesome at the first half of the movie, when he was a neo-nazi fanatic, could not have imagined he that badass look to him. Later on he transitioned to his usual softer, calm style. An awesome actor overall.
