This movie blows my mind. It's not like other hollywood movies; it has no happy ending. Just like in real life sometimes there is no happy ending. it's scary to see how violence and hatred has deep seeded roots in our family. To hear your father talk about black people like that, what else can you do besides listen, he's your father, you're young. It's not good to have bad influences around when you're a young adult. The mother doesn't really do anything about disciplining her children, granted she might be sick, but she can put her kids in line. It's sick that things like this happen in real life. How do people have so much hate? It's because they don't open their eyes and see what's going on around.
I think Sweeney is a great character in the movie. Hes such a good influence to the Derek and Danny. The most powerful moment is when they both take down their Nazi insignia on the wall together. They can finally put it behind them. Then Danny is shot by a black boy. What happens next? Does Derek take all he learned and stick to it, or does he throw it all out the window. Does the end tell us that no matter what we do racism will always be there or does it tell us to live by our morals not our anger?
