What a harrowing, yet beautifully realistically written film this is! Brilliantly written, acted and directed. One of the most definitive films of the 90's along with The Matrix and Schindler's List ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They showed it at my high school, that’s when I became a fan of Ed Norton. Led me to watching Fight club for the first time and a month or two later The Incredible Hulk came out lol
They'll show Schindler's List because it's a historic tragedy told through the Hollywood lens. This movie is far rawer with some messages, regardless of whether you're on the Right or Left, are true.
The significance of this scene is to not give up on youth so easily. Kids will come across and attach themselves to some crazy ideas. And may even act out on some of them. But short of murder or similarly unforgivable acts, a teacher or a parent should still try to impart some guidance their way.
Sure, go work at one of these schools full of these "at-risk kids" and see how quickly your attitude changes. The fact is troubled kids like Danny are the exception, not the rule. Most are not smart or come from a good home like Danny. Most are dumb, live in a dysfunctional household and have no impulse control. For every success story Sweeney has with someone like Danny, he has at least a dozen who never change.
The fact that Danny was able to not only read mein Kampf, but decode it, in such a small amount of time is pretty impressive. The principal probably saw that himself. Disappointed with the choice but impressed with the application
The saddest part of the movie is how it went around and in the end came full circle. I won’t spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen this but, this is a film about neo nazis and how it ruined his brother’s life. It’s a great film.
The "home video" footage showing the brothers at the beach was particularly sad, reminded me of similar work done in Philadelphia showing Tom Hanks' character as a child with his family. They didn't know hate or prejudice, just innocent people enjoying life. It's very sad.
Wait, are you talking about the spoiler involving Derek [Edward Norton’s character] murdering the African-American home intruder which then sent him to prison, or Derek being violently assaulted in prison by his fellow skinheads which made him ultimately drop his racist views, or Danny [Edward Furlong’s character] being shot and killed by a fellow African-American student at the end of the movie?
Spoiler: Sweeney is an awesome educator; a real shame that Danny was not able to continue his one on one classes with him. Given his new outlook on life at the end, he would have thrived and Sweeney and Derek would have been proud. I definitely would have loved to have one on one discussion classes with a teacher like Sweeney.
Something else I noticed on rewatch is how Derek was a racist but the only two men that there were the most positive influences in his life were black. When he went to jail none of his white supremacist "friends", not even his girlfriend, came to visit him nor did they help out his family. It was two black strangers then helped Derek out
@@BobPantsSpongeSquare97 Well PC Hollywood has to have that be the case. Honestly I'm surprised they even allowed Derek's dad to have been killed by a black guy and didnt leave it up to interpretation.
I love Dr. Sweeney, he was a voice of reason and took the time to understand Derrick and Danny he was a true representation of compassion when he didn't have to be.
When you realize that the person that the kid is teached to hate the most actually cares about him more then any of the kid's fake friends including his own brother before he got send to prison .... This movie is pure cinematic gold .
The original ending had Derek shaving his head again after Danny was killed... which some people said it made sense... but HOW would that have made sense?! He already learned that Cameron was full of shit and was just using them to sell video tapes... Not to mention he found out in jail that the Aryan Brotherhood were booty bandits that didnt mind gays and mexicans as long as they could grape men and sell drugs with them... So why would he go back go that at the end of the movie? 🤣🤦🏾♂️
Valid point. One could assume Derek simply started over with the grievous memory of his father's death, which put him on the path to begin with and Danny's senseless death sent him right back to where he started. The hypocrisy he learned of with Cameron and The Ayrian Brotherhood were minor setbacks to someone who believed in fundamental White Supremacy.
Idk, remember January 7th, 2021? When all your MAGA neighbors quietly took down the yard signs and facebook posts and finally had the moment of shame and realization about how close to the brink they'd been led? I remember. And yet here we are. There's no such thing as de-nazification because fascisim is the test of the strength of the soul. Not to say many liberals aren't just as weak and only on the right side of history by accident of birth or associated... but anyone who is actively involved in these kinds of movements has deep fundamental flaws that will always- ALWAYS- make them vulnerable to cultish behavior. Look no further than Ginnie Thomas, wife of the notoriously sexually abusive justice Clarence Thomas. She was rescued from an actual end times religious cult and there are videos of her being deprogrammed and speaking out about the exact methods that pulled her in. And a decade or 2 later, she's chartering busses with her black husband's money that are transporting rope and lumber to construct a gallows to symbolically or actually hang the vice president for refusing to throw the Constitution in the trash can so that a vain greedy 5-times-bankrupted mob-connected failed casino operator who builds golden idols to himself with embezzled charity money can avoid the embarrassment of losing an election. People can change, in some ways. But people like that are weak minded and weak willed by definition and you can never ever turn your back on them for a moment no matter how rehabilitated they are by temporary circumstance.
Has anyone actually READ Mein Kampf? There's a lot more to it than his Nazi propaganda. It was so detailed I couldn't finish it. The fact Danny read the whole thing in a week is quite impressive.

Few people in this world have the kind of commanding voice that makes you shut up and just listen. Not listen because you think you have to, listen because you need to. Avery Brooks had that voice. When he spoke softly you felt calm. When he raised his voice you stopped and payed attention. An amazing film and he really tied it together so well. Shame Edward Furlong didn't grow into the star he should've been
"One of my ancestors was a high school principal in the late 20th century, he tried to help out a young man undo the legacy of hatred, he was distraught when that young man was ultimately murdered." - Captain Benjamin Sisko
Any educator can read a paper and know it’s AI. Caught 2 students in my first week. Simply let them know, haven’t seen it since. AI is a great tool and I encourage its use, but it cannot write like a human (in its present state).
Nowdays Derek could have posted online that a teacher was "forcing his politics" on him and a bunch of idiots would be postign personal info of Sweeny online.
Wow... still after so many years Avery Brook's performance in this film- I don't think anyone else could have done it better. The seriousness in his voice followed by the care and understanding of Danny and his brother is unparalleled.
"My Mein Kampf" So... "My My Struggle" Kid should get failed for the title of his paper alone. If you're gonna troll your teacher with a paper about the Nazi bible, you could at least get the title right.
This is why there needs to be better pay and benefits for the teachers that go beyond and help children and or teens dealing with situations or events in their lives that dramatically effect like this and can cause issues
Danny should have wrote a paper on Skynet and how he became the future leader of the resistance leading the human race to fight the machines. I’m sure Sweeney would have allowed that.
It works because it hits everyone, it dares to criticize Murray for being overly emotional about Nazis as a Jew for instance instead of being rational, deconstructing behavior and working to change it versus wanting to “cancel” the kid like the culture we have today.
White privilege is about the lasting effects of racism. There are literally people alive from the civil rights era today whose lives and childrens lives were impacted by this, maybe try to understand the concepts.
The fact you call "white privilege" a "high brow fanatical theory" says more about you than what it actually says about the concept. You're free to hold your own views on whatever thing you want to, but recognizing that, racial relations being as they are, historically and culturally, a certain group of people is more likely to face discrimination, both casual and systemic, than others. And that group isn't white folk.
@@maxi1ification My issue is a true neutral, scholarly approach would be to call it “majority privilege” not white privilege. If you go to China, you’d find the Han Chinese dominate economically and culturally in the country over the country’s many other ethnic minorities. But yet Han Privilege doesn’t exist as a clinical term in western textbooks? White privilege is a phrase created by radical Marxists to create division and not tackle issues of equality but work to slowly accustom people to the idea white people as a group are evil and deserve a reckoning one day.
Honestly people need to stop pretending like these books are radioactive and will contaminate anyone who so much as looks at them. I own all kinds of "bad" books and am probably on a government watchlost for it. But everyone who wants to push back against these ideas should own and have read these books so they know, in minute detail, how to dismantle the ideas and counterfactual history contained within. Also, Avery Brooks is amazing and its terrific to see Star Trek's greatest captain in other roles.
The problem is that a lot of Nazism has to remain taboo. If people actually read the book or if they actually put subtitles on his speeches ppl would see that there was a lot more to National Socialism than just rounding up Jews. The reason that it remains this way today and the fact that you cannot separate the Jewish issue from the rest of the platform is that there was a lot of good in their policies. What a miserable pile of shit Germany was in the Weimar years compared to the powerhouse it became under AH... He was Times Man of the Year for a reason... They literally did a 180 and created a standard of living that surpassed the US. They did it without debt, unified the country and revitalized the whole economy, respected both workers rights and company's profits... And then some... But we cannot explore those ideas because it's a threat to the status quo so the whole thing is shut down by the antisemitism argument.

That’s a principal that would have my utmost respect!! Not giving up on a kid is a major decision!

Did they intentionally rhyme sweeney and feeny??? Both teachers with great morals?
@@kissyboots59831 Never knew about Feeny until now, but he does seem equally a good teacher
@@napalm5 not teeny, luv Sweeney or feeny, and I'm almost positive I'm misspelling both.
Such a great movie . I really like Sweeney, its awesome to see him mentoring Danny .
Murray is such a coward. Both his scenes prove it
For standing against a puff piece about Hitler?
@@napalm5for not dealing with Danny directly and for not stoping Derek when he was assaulting hi family at the dinner table.
Found the Neo Nazi!
@@diegomauriciomontoya Murray just wanted to tap their mom. The mom clearly was a California liberal, but she herself was too afraid to stand up to the dad. Murray was like her safe space. Davina tries to stand up at least, though it shouldn't be overlooked she escalated the situation by refusing to listen to Stacy however much she disagreed with her.
@@diegomauriciomontoya how do you think it would have played out if he tried either of those things?
Avery is a great actor.
