I watched this again and I wondered to myself...even with movies like this (where the racist unlearns hatred by the end)....do you think movies like this perpetuate racism? or does it help eliminate it? I know for me personally it didnt do either as i am set in stone on most all of my issues....just looking for opinions. Heresy, if you see this, drop me a PM i need to ask something about a pedal.

it is just a movie, but- if it does any thought provoking, it might be hope that the dumbass skinheads can be reformed, or show appreciation to what reformed skinheads went through. I am the way I am, and books have a little more power over my persuasion than movies (but i got a thing for ed norton.. you see that fool in primal fear??)
its a movie that makes folks deal with racism- its in your face. Many movies do that, but because this shows consequences~ prison (AND WHAT HAPPENS IN PRISON) and the passing on of illegal activity to chilkdren or in this case younger siblings.. its deep.. Ed Nortons HOT! i'd do him in a m inute.. but he's a funny dude too
that movie was fuckin tight. Skinhead or not nortons character was a fuckin savage. "BITE THE FUCKIN CURB!!" fool doesnt say shit jsut wakes up grabs his strap and starts blasting. Dotn dwell on the fact he plays a racist weather u like the movie or not. its still a well made movie and the acting is REALLY good. shit had me convinced norton was a fuckin nazi himself lol.
