the most amazing in your face film about racism

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 1999)

When I first heard this film was coming out I put this on the top of my list to see. Being half black half white I am very lucky to have not experienced too much racism in my life but this film really hit the core of racism in the US and everywhere else it was saying for once there is hostility from every race and also that people can CHANGE. The acting in this film is magnificent and Edward Norton is in what I think the best role he has ever played and Edward Furlong plays the adoring younger brother with his usual talent. The scenes with the flashbacks and when Norton is in Prison are shot in black and white and this is very effective for the main reason being like the same effect as The Wizard of Oz when Dorathy leaves Kansas and comes into color when she comes to Oz when Norton comes out of prison and has reformed his Nazi ways he is in color. The whole film is shot in a documentary style which in turn works very well because this film is so true to life and could easily be a film crew shooting a family. I found this film amazing and should be able to wake up all the Nazis racists and other backward people into realising that, that way of life can only end up in tears.
