I just saw this movie a couple days ago and I think its one of the best movies out there.

there are about 2 scenes I hated

the first one is the "curb scene" when Norton told the guy bite the curb then stomped on his head.

the second one is the rape scene in the shower....uhhh I still get nightmares about it.

but other than that I loved the movie,

anyone else see it?

I think the film is brilliant, Edward Norton suprised me with how well he performed in his role.
However the curb scene is one of my favourites ;)

One of the best movies I have ever seen. It was banned from different theaters in different states. All because it was "too violent and real"..... #-o

yea it's a great movie,but I think some times people miss the point. the movie isn't promoting racism at all if anything it is speaking out against it

there was supposed to be a scene where  he go's into the washroom and shaves his head,changing back into a nazi.but this scene was cut so it ended differntly

anyway I think this is one of the best movies ever made,racisim is such a strong issue and this movie describes it perfectly,it shows how much hate is in the world

now in place's where it wasn't banned you get to watch it for highschool in grade 10 (I think its for english class)

the movie is not that old

it was made in 1998

here is the plot

After Derek Vinyard's father is killed in the line of duty by a minority, Derek's view of mankind is altered and he becomes a neo nazi.For killing 2 young black men Derek is put into prison.He survives Jail from being helped by the race that he deticated himself to hate,Derek discovers that there are a good and bad in every race and changes.While Derick is in jail his younger brother Danny dicides to take the same road of racisim and hatred.After coming back from jail Derick must now convince Danny not to take that road

Edward Norton plays Dereck and is an amazing actor in this movie.

Edward Furlong plays Danny.

t is rated one of the best movies ever, so if you are old enough and haven't seen it I suggest you do,it is an amazing movie.
