Reviews

maxmages There are some great ideas and great artistic elements like everything that used to be filmed in black and white. And it is always nice to see that there are also films dealing with problems from the here and now, namely discrimination and racism. but the question is always how good is the movie but such films always seem to excite me as an excuse or excuse and not to torture white minorities in front of the camera.So I just went a few scenes too long, I found a few of the dialogues are completely pulled on the ass hair because skinheads are so bald. But I have to applaud the movie because it's the first movie of my life that actually showed racism in a realistic way.Of course, there are other films about racism but people are just ugly ass bones screaming. As someone who belongs to a minority, we noticed in parallel and this was perfectly captured in the film because the problem of most racists here is that they believe they are right because they are convinced that they have to help others and with their actions You achieve that. Of course I could still talk all the key scenes everywhere, the famous scenes like the conversations, the basketball scene or, of course, the curb scene the distance is more famous than the movie itself but I focus on the important. And say the film is very realistic and artfully decent but not really good I've been just as smart afterwards as before I've been as unimpressed afterwards as before, and I've felt less pity or anger than other films of this kind.

Majikat A very powerful film of ignorance and hate and the origin of where it is bred. A fantastic and harsh role for Edward Norton who's appearance in the film is so far from his usual softer self. One of the films that tends to be on everyone's great films list. Thought provoking, cringeworthy subject matter, but reflects a harsh reality of life.

leedario This film was Monsterous! One of my favorite films

jirkahouser I have seen this movie on multiple occasions, and it never get´s old. The story, the awful true behind the movie it just makes you think about cultural differences in certain pars of our society, and over all It´s a must see.
