Viewers Beware

Rating: Null/10 (8 December 2006)

This is a very graphic and powerful movie. The character of Derek played by Edward Norton makes being a racist look very glamorous. There is nothing glamorous about racism. Even though in the end Derek realizes the error of his ways, in his racist days he comes across as smart, attractive and powerful. I can see how someone would look up to this racist character. This movie may not be a good influence on young viewers who may not be educated enough to understand the moral of the story. This movie evoked a very strong emotion in me, but the entire time I couldn't think about the message, "Racism kills" because I kept thinking about how glamorous and powerful Norton looked as a Nazi.This movie makes racism look very attractive.Watch with caution.
