one of the most amazing films to date

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2004)

i've seen this movie about three years ago and it remained one of my favorites since, but i thought i'd comment now. this movie was not only amazing because of his acting skills, but the overall cast was perfect! surely anyone who comes across this comment already knows the incredible acting talent of Edward Norton. come on. Fight Club?... Edward Furlong did a fantastic job in this film as well! i wasn't really familiar with him before watching the movie but after seeing it i had to check out other stuff he was in. which are all pretty good by the way. to summarize quite quickly, Derek Vinyard(Edward Norton) is a respected neo-nazi who kills 2 black guys caught trying to break into his car because of a basketball dispute earlier that day. after killing them, he's sentenced to 3 years in prison, and begins to learn the horrible hypocrisy of everything he believed in. while this is going on, his brother Danny Vinyard(Edward Furlong) is taken under Derek's organization's wing. Derek's partner in crime Cameron Alexander influences Danny's beliefs. after three years, Derek is released, and finds that his brother's future is not too far from Derek's past. Derek then tries to get his brother out of that whole mess and show him the true way to think. the rest, i'll leave for you to watch. hmmm not quite as short as i intended. but back to the commenting part. this movie is absolutely brilliant, and shows the horror in racial discrimination as well as the reasons for people to think this way in the first place. watch it. you will be thinking of the ending for a week.
