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 definitely recommend watching the film. It was very interesting to me. There is a lot to think about 10 \ 10.
