Description

Derek Vineyard is paroled after serving 3 years in prison for killing two African-American men. Through his brother, Danny Vineyard's narration, we learn that before going to prison, Derek was a skinhead and the leader of a violent white supremacist gang that committed acts of racial crime throughout L.A. and his actions greatly influenced Danny. Reformed and fresh out of prison, Derek severs contact with the gang and becomes determined to keep Danny from going down the same violent path as he did.

The film, which definitely has the message that being an NS skinhead will not lead to good, was surprisingly popular in Russia at that time precisely among skinheads, and their beliefs were not influenced in any way. Similarly with "Romper Stomper"))

A strong film. A strong ending.
At one time, this movie passed me by, but now I came across it and watched it. I was 13-14 years old when skinheads were just everywhere. I lived in Tomilino near Moscow, and there were a couple of them in my company too. Angry and unhappy children. I don't know what's wrong with them now - I hope they grew up and live well, and didn't end up sad.

A good, proper movie. It teaches that everyone is responsible for their actions during their lifetime. That hate breeds hate, which breeds more hate until it all leads to tragedy. I didn't learn anything new from this film for myself, I knew and understood all this even when I first watched it 15 years ago. But then I didn't know that not everyone understood the moral of the film, someone, on the contrary, strengthened in their hatred and wrong beliefs. Previously, it seemed to me that the message of the narrative was obvious, but today, looking at it again, I understood for sure that even the most transparent story can be perceived incorrectly by a person with strong but opposite beliefs. Or if someone who has a great influence on you interprets the story incorrectly. Most often they are older brothers or sisters, parents. In the film, we are shown this twice. When a father imposes his opinion on his son and sows hatred in his mind, and when the same son realizes everything and explains to his younger brother that this is wrong. I consider the film a must-see for everyone. There is something to think about.

I recommend the film. It is based on real events about Frank (Derek is in the movie).
It would be great if the second part were filmed.
His 19-year-old son is lost, his mother dies, he is a drug addict, goes to a rehabilitation center, meets a Jew who helps him. Another Jew helped with the work. Frank takes a test, where he finds out that he is 2.8% Jewish, eventually converted to Judaism, is very religious, lectures on neo-Nazism as a big problem of society

Someone else has already expressed all your thoughts, better than you. So if you don't know what to say, borrow from the Greats.

We are not enemies, but friends, we should not be enemies, although the bonds of our friendship are not always strong and should not be broken, the memory of this friendship will take its toll when our best feelings inevitably prevail in our hearts.
