High school hipsters favorite movie
It all comes full circle.
Hey i just read the review on counter currents :D
Great movie. It's not a complete liberal propaganda either. Derek's dad for example makes a great point about how people are chosen based on their skin color not because of their skills.
The ending was great. I think they could have gone with the original ending but then I guess white supremacists would have claimed the movie.
What the fuck was his problem?
His lack of adult male shoulders
Never heard of that. What was the original ending?
>tfw to much melanin to obey the law
shaped like a Dorito
Derek going back to being a Neo Nazi. It would have ruined the whole point of the movie imo. The point was Derek realizing there are good and bad people in every race, and letting go of his hate.
Derek shaves his head again which heavily implies he's back to his old ways.
No, the point was that blacks can't properly function in society and will always be their own worst enemy. They can't think critically, only cyclically.
The point of the movie is the escalation and loop of hate. Derek's dad is killed by black people so he becomes a neonazi.
Black guys lose at basket so they try to fuck him over by stealing and Derek kills two of them, then the gang kills Danny as retaliation and initiation for the other black guy.
The thing would remain that Derek had a epiphany in prison and that during his time in prison the only two people who cared about him that weren't family were two black guys while his white supremacist friends not only were hypocrites but they also sold him.
It would have changed the theme of the movie to end in a "the loop of hate is almost impossible to stop" if he went back to being a neonazi but the takeaway would be the same in my opinion, the tone would have just been much less optimistic. But I do see some people seeing it as "Derek was right all along and fuck black people" if they had done it that way though. Shit some people already see it that way.
>comparing the death of a father with a lost basketball game as suitable motivation
Cycle of hate mayne. When will we learn to all love and let go?
The entire movie is about escalating
A burglary attempt is met with 2 homicides
People opening a supermarket is met with them trashing, humiliating and beating the shit out of everyone working there.
All sides do it, Derek has an origins story because he's a main character and to make us empathize with his views.
Neo-nazis perpetrate just as much crime as blacks, you're right. Both sides have their bad apples huh? But did you know that Hollywood journalists are actually the most oppressed group in America today? Where's their 'American History X'?
>Neo-nazis perpetrate just as much crime as blacks
lmao nah you're really dumb
uhhhhhh
Solid film. Still undecided on whether it would have been better with the original planned ending. The current one allows for more interpretation on if he went back to his own ways but the original would have really cemented the "Cycle of hate" theme.
Barring all that though very good acting and solid directing.
why he has no shoulders?
