nazis hang your heads in shame!!!

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2003)

Neo nazis think that they can change the world,and for what,their ideals are not what you would like to live by. Derek (Edward Norton) is a senior activist for a nazi lord called Cameron, who recruits people to spread hate, violence,and crime apon non whites in modern day US,believing....for real...that they are the master race. Derek's anti black and anti semetic views make you wonder how someone can beleive such crap. they set out burning chinese owned shops and spouting hatred about blacks and jews like its decent normal behaviour. Danny (Edward Furlong) who is Dereks brother is impressed and somewhat caught up in his brother's god like status has aquired his brothers views and when his brother is sent to prison for killing a black intruder to his house is called to his headmasters office for submitting a exam essay on "Mein Kamf" meanwhile Derek learns that people in the so called master race crew beleive in nothing except getting what they want for themselves even if they have to do deals with blacks and mexicans. Derek opposes this to his peril, and is quickly turned on by the other "Arians" who systematically rape him to show him that he's not a man. his ex-headmaster, (Danny's current headmaster)played by Avery Brooks, comes to visit Derek in prison and asks one fundamental question "has anything you have done here made your life any better" it hits Derek like a rocket from hell, no!!! its made his life worse, and whats more it has endangered his family, and his little brother is now on course for the same as Derek. Derek has changed, he had to wake up, and prior to leaving prison he has grown his hair and made black friends. he doesnt come clean about his new identity straight away, which confuses his brother and former comrades, but when he does, its an explosion of anger and possible reprisals from the "hood of deliquents" he beats the crap out of Cameron who is as suprised as his brother will be when he tells him he's a "fu**ing snake" and knows his game and is on to him. he uses people to spout racism , who eventually get killed or locked up,then recruits new youg naive teenagers to replace them. he leaves takes his brother with him and starts to explain what he has learned. Its a great movie that i would hope Could have an impact on these kind of people who still beleive in a "Master race", and one could ask themselves, if there is a master race, who am i to say its white!!! and i am white, so i am definately not taking a biased view but a logical and educated one. Derek's wit and some of his arguments seem to be educated and some of what he says is good observation, and one could start to think that this guy should be running for mayor....but then he starts to talk a little more and his racist and anti semetic views start to pour out then you know that this guy is definately not representing publics real problems but creating more that they could definately do without. however....although Derek has changed and is on the right track, it doesnt stop his brother Danny being wasted in the school toilets from a single bullet at the hands of a rival black boy who he hasnt even said a word to...just blown a little fag smoke in his face earlier on in the film. this film shows you the realities of racist culture....people getting needlessly killed, abused, murdered, robbed and jailed for absolutely
f**k all...niothig....zilch. Nazis hang your heads in shame.
