He was avenging his brothers death. Im not saying thats right or wrong. But it showed how the whole thing is a cycle. And once you start it, its hard to stop it.

I'm not 100% positive, but I do not believe the killings in the beginning of the movie have anything to do with the murder at the end. In allactuality, I believe him dying in the end is more of a commentary on how senseless killing/crime occurs regardless of race or skin color.

i.e. The Skinheads/Nazis have all these crazy beliefs, rob that grocery store for no reason, but on the flipside, this young black man kills him strictly forblowing smoke in his face.

The skin head party scene was much more offensive to me than the shower scene.

did you watch the movie? the black kid was the brother of dude that got curb stomped, he was specifically looking for dude so he could getvengeance. because there was a scene where they rolled up to his house and left. so you know they were out looking for him.

if he killed him just for blowing smoke in his face, why did he have the heater on him at school that day? it was premeditated

Didn't the director or writer of the movie want the ending to be of Ed Norton rejoining the neo Nazis and there was a controversy between him and thestudio.

--I thought the ending fit the movie perfectly.
--Dude got closed by his brother to stop the Nazi stuff..then gets capped. Ironic.
--Great movie. Instant classic IMO.

what? i thought it was because his brother is associated with the nazi stuff and the kids thought he was one too.

Yes, I did watch the movie. I've watched it more times than I can count, actually.

So please, if he was looking for Ed Norton's younger brother specifically, why didn't he just kick his +%% in the bathroom? They didn't even care,they were too busy kicking that kids' %$! in the bathoom. They wouldn't have told him $%! until he blew the smoke in his face. The guy was insulted, sothey found out who he was, where he lived, and then planned to kill him in the bathroom.

Also, if he was really trying to avenge his brother, why did he wait so many years? Remember, Derek has been in jail for over 2 years.

Seriously, bro, I hate to bust your bubble, but the black kid was not the black guy's brother from the beginning of the movie. Totally unrelated incidents.Just watch it over and you'll understand.

I loved the movie, but like Shawshank Redemption, it #!#%*% my mind up for a couple of days after I watched it.

Maybe because we're discussing the ending and there are some people who haven't seen the movie.

[JayDean03]

[daemacho]

i thought so too


i dont think there was any evidence that backed up the kid who shot daniel being brothers with the guys ed norton killed. i assumed they may have been, but themovie never displayed that connection

 

[kyrac2]
