Violence, race

Such a film about racial discrimination in the United States, after watching it is not very fun, whether it's there and explore the issue of racial discrimination in the United States within its violence, its narrative, have made this film to be a masterpiece.
Not When talking about racial discrimination in the United States, I only talk about movies. The
film narrative method is also unique. It has always been two lines interspersed to tell us how Derek became a member of neo-Nazism, and then became the core, then went to prison to experience it first, and then quit. Organize and regain the attitude of racial equality in the new life.
Although everyone wants the movie to be perfect here, the cruel reality wakes us up. The film ends in Derek hugging his brother's bloody body... This is a reincarnation, Derek’s father instilled racial discrimination into Derek---Derek’s father was killed by a black person---Derek became the leader of the neo-Nazi party and laughed at the TV racial equality---Derek went to jail and returned to the ranks of anti-racism-- -Withdraw from the neo-Nazi party and save the younger brother -----------------This is a big reincarnation, bringing the contradiction back to the starting point. I just don't know if Derek will insist on racial equality or regain it in the future. The old way of racism...I

didn't guess that this movie ended with this ending, which made the whole film more profound (I guessed the ending when I watched it is that Norton will be killed by other white powers...)

ps: The second protagonist in the film, that is, the actor of Norton's younger brother, Edward Furlon, is actually the kid in "Terminator 2", I don't know Khan, I was surprised when I first knew it... . When

Norton was the black man, the kick on the sidebar of the road left a mark in the history of violent movies...
