4:04 "If it's not on my desk in the morning, you are a ghost at Venice Beach High." Excellent foreshadowing

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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 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

Danny was being a smart ass and just trying to get a rise out of Sweeney and it was maybe a misguided attempt to impress his brother. Murray called it out correctly but in error assumed that Derek was behind it (whereas it was probably Seth or someone else) Later this is made apparent when Danny boasts to Derek about pissing off Sweeney with the paper and Derek was not amused by his stunt.

This movie made no sense whatsoever, he was suppose to teach his brother through his experience and critical thinking that hate was wrong and racism was wrong. But stereotypes are not! And this movie came full circle to solidify that. Yes it is dumb to hate people because of the color of their skin, that is the most ridiculous thing in life. But the stereotypes of culture, up bringing and the way people predominantly choose to live their lives tests thr bounds of tolerance. Its not a secret that africam american culture is very negative to themselves and people who they come in contact. The movie ends basically saying white people learn from their mistakes and blacks people don't and will continue to cause destruction to society and themselves just as the brother preached on his racist tirades. He was wrong about color, but not about their culture and THAT is what makes people racist and stereotypical. So I dont know what their true analogy was suppose to be.

I disagree with your assessment, especially since the whole reason Danny got shot at the end by that thug was because he was from another gang and Danny disrespected him in front of his homies. It wasn't like the dude randomly shot him. He shot him because he was part of a rival gang. He didn't even have time to find out about how Danny was no longer in the gang or a Nazi.
