Just been watching this movie (after seeing a few bits here and there) and I think it's a pretty good movie, although I thought Edward Norton was more impressive as nazi-Derek than when he turned good again. What are your thoughts?

Really good film in my opinion. I love the bit where Derek has his conversion - talking to his black friend in prison and realising that that guy is in for much longer for stealing a television than he is for killing someone. As that incredibly irritating Furlong says at the end: hate is baggage.

That movie was very intense. Very ironic ending and all. Extremely disturbing and interesting in the same way. I had nightmares about what Ed Norton did to that black guy in the beginning on the curb??? Yuck! Gave me the creeps. Hard to believe someone can hate so much.

I believe that scene is why my mom now always checks with someone else before checking out a movie I've suggested [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It's one of my favourite movie and one of the reason Edward Norton is my favourite actor

That scene where he forced the black guy to bite the sidewalk and then kicked him in the back of the head gave me the creeps. Good movie though. Edward Norton has grown pretty big in movieland. He was great in "The score" where he was starring next to Robert de Niro as well.

Anyone seen 25th hour? That one is wonderfull.

Saw the film yesterday. Great piece of work. E.N is one of my favourite actors too.

The guy can DEFINITLY act unlike that Jean-Claude Van Damme fellow. :D

Sir Degrader 03-25-2004 03:15 PM

Jean-Claude Van Damme can't act? What about universal soldier? oh wait, I guess your right...

Liked the movie. Liked the character better when he wasn't a Nazi.

Wasn't surprised Furlong died.

Sir Degrader 04-08-2004 06:27 PM

Really? I liked him MORE as a Nazi( oh the irony for someone who gives money to Israel's), when he went "into the light",it seemed like a cliched hollywood movie, he was more 3d when he was a neo nazi.

Jerr Conner 04-08-2004 11:34 PM

I thought he was more 2D as a Nazi, cause he only ever expressed one thing: Violence.

I like this movie, because this movie show us how the ideology can get the best brains (Derek was one) and turn to him cause. This movie isnt showing us the real life of american neonazi else is showing us the real life of all neonazi, Derek could be an spanish ultrassur or Boixos Noixe(Ultrassur is the radical fan of RealMadrid or Boixos Noixe fan of Barcelona, they are hated people) hitting Morrocan, American or China persons for feel good, because they say the people from Africa, America or Asia are subhumans... I can't understand the neonazis... I'm red, like they use to call all persons who dont understand them
