This is the name of an American film. Finished in 2001.
The director is Henry Bean. The starring name is Ryan Gosling.
The film is based on the story of KKK leader Daniel Burros.
Daniel Burros committed suicide after reporters revealed his Jewish ancestry.

Danny Balint is a Jewish youth.
He was once a top student in a Hebrew language school.
Excessive questioning of Judaism and the Old Testament led to his expulsion from school.
His love and hatred for his own people brought him close to neo-fascism. This is the beginning of the tragedy.
But in the end he could not get rid of the identity of the nation itself. Blood is thicker than water.

The Believer translates into Chinese as "believer".
When I watched this film. Was deeply attracted by the actor's vivid acting skills.
Ryan Gosling successfully portrayed the Jewish youth who had hatred for their own people and hatred for love.
The film reflects the huge appeal of Jewish culture to the Jewish nation from one aspect.

There are three scenes that are most impressive.
In the first paragraph, when the protagonist was young, he questioned the omnipotence of God in the Hebrew school classroom.
He raised his head to demonstrate to the teacher who believed in God.
"(Let God) kill me kill me?"
In the second paragraph, the protagonist follows an orthodox Jewish youth. Then beat the young man.
When I saw that the young man didn't start to resist at all.
He slapped his face angrily. Saying "Please Please".
The third paragraph is what the protagonist said to a large audience when he was acting as the propagandist of the anti-Semitic group.
"You want to liquidate the Jews? Then open your arms to love them now."
"Hate to no avail. Hate the Jews can only become more powerful. Only love can ablate them."
(Righteous)

forget that . In the end, the protagonist resolutely met the look in his eyes when he died.
That kind of look. Only those who have faith will have it.
He eventually converted to the religion and culture of his own nation.
In fact. He didn't actually leave for a moment.

And this tenacity. It is what I, you, us, you are missing.

The Believer quotes

  • Mrs. Frankel: What do you think you would have done if you had been there?

    Daniel Balint: Not what he did. Just stand there and watch?

    Mrs. Frankel: How do you know? You've never been tested like he has. Here in this rich, safe, stupid country it is so easy to imagine oneself a hero. But, you have no idea what it was like. You can't conceive of it. Everything, all of Europe, was designed to break one's will. Millions went to camps many stronger, braver than you. They did nothing. Just as you would have done nothing.

  • Daniel Balint: In the mere three centuries since these guys emerged from the ghettos of Europe, they've taken us from a world built on order and reason and hurled us into a chaos of class warfare, irrational urges and relativity, a world where the very existence of matter and meaning is in doubt.

    Daniel Balint: Why? Because it is the deepest impulse of the Jewish soul to unravel the very fabric of life until nothing is left but thread, nothing but nothingness.

    Daniel Balint: Nothingness without end.
