Everyone has had such bad juvenile plots

After watching this film, I couldn't help but want to write something. The ending of the film still shocked me a lot, and the scene of Danny's death lingered for a long time. The main theme of the film may be to oppose racism, but it reminds me of the plots of some bad boys in my past. When I was in junior high school, I always felt that those unscrupulous teenagers who drank a cigarette in the toilet and fought around in groups all day were handsome, and sometimes wanted to be one of them, as if they could be better than others. After watching this movie, I realized that no matter how bad you are, there will always be someone worse than you. If a person becomes a so-called bad person, then it will be really hard for him to be good again, so never have a heart to do bad things.
But no matter how you read the above words, I feel that they are actually talking about great principles. The reason is that I am a person who likes to talk about great principles. When D encountered the misfortune brought to him by the blacks, his heart was occupied by revenge and racism. At this time, he became a bad guy, and the degree became deeper and deeper, until the two blacks were brutally killed. After entering the prison, he finally met people worse than himself. He found those who promoted racism on the one hand, but secretly traded with people of color on the other hand. This "badness" made him feel sick. , He didn't want to be with those people, and he was XXXX in the end. He finally started to reflect on himself, he felt that he should end his radical behavior.
Danny was deeply influenced by his brother and eventually died at the gun of a black man. In fact, if you analyze carefully, the contradictions in the film show a triangular relationship. D’s family is a group. The radical whites include those in prison and those who are not in prison. The colored people are in the same group. The three parties are in the same group. There are scenes of bullying and being bullied in the film. D's isolation is also helpless. When he gets worse, he opposes people of color, and when he gets better, he opposes his former compatriots. Therefore, when you think of yourself, you must think carefully when you become bad. Unless you can guarantee that you will be bad forever, don't try it lightly.

    Also known as: the beast and the good people. Very interesting translation name, I don't know who got it. Speaking of the issue of racial discrimination, it has not been able to solve it so far.

American History X quotes

  • Murray: Derek, what are you trying to prove?

  • Reporter: [Rasmussen shows a video of a crying Derek with his mother talking to a reporter after his father's death] Look I know this is tough. But how do you feel right now?

    Derek Vinyard: How do you think I feel? I think it's typical.

    Reporter: Typical how?

    Derek Vinyard: Well, this country is becoming a haven for criminals so what do you expect? You know, decent hard-working Americans like my dad are getting rubbed out by social parasites.

    Reporter: Parasites?

    Derek Vinyard: Blacks, Browns, Yellow whatever.

    Reporter: I don't understand you're saying that you think maybe your father's murder was race related?

    Derek Vinyard: Yeah it's race related! Every problem in this country is race related not just crime. It's like... immigration, AIDS, welfare those are problems in them. The Black community, the Hispanic community, the Asian community, they're not White problems.

    Reporter: Derek, are those really issues that deal with poverty?

    Derek Vinyard: No. You know, no. They're not products of the environment either that's crap. Minorities don't give two shits about this country, they've come here to exploit it, not to embrace it.

    Reporter: What does this...

    Derek Vinyard: I mean millions of white European Americans came here and flourished you know within a generation so what the fuck is the matter with these people going around shooting a... fireman?

    [cries]

    Reporter: What does this have to do with the murder of your father?

    Derek Vinyard: Because my father was murdered doing his job! Putting out a fire in fucking Nigger neighborhood. He shouldn't be giving a shit about. He got shot by a fucking drug dealer who probably still collects a welfare check!
