    I recently bought this movie. It's very moving. It deals with racism, you can't watch the movie without provoking some emotion. anyone else seen it?

    Yeah I have seen it, last year I believe. It is a good movie, it really gets the point across with racism. I think it's a very underrated movie. This just proves that racism in this world is so out of control it's not even funny, because the stuff they did in this movie either still goes on or it used to.

    oh by the way, this is probably Ed Norton's best performance, which really is saying a lot, considering he was in fight club, rounders, keeping the faith, death to smoochy, and kingdom of heaven.

    This movie has a lot of disturbing scenes, like the curb stomp and the ending where his brother is shot. Very moving movie, one of those that hits you in the guts when you see it.

    The part where they made that guy bite the curb and curb stomped him made me cringe, EEK; very good movie though.

    that's not half as bad as when he got raped by that neonazi. ouch, he had to have 6 stitches.and yes, I'm kidding because the guy that bit the curb died.

    It's my favorite movie. It impacted my life, very influential. Basically in an area named venice beach california the place was predominantly black, and after a black man kills this guy's father, he goes berserk and is the co-founder of this neonazi group that eventually takes over the area. I won't give away the rest but it's a very good movie. suggestion: SKIP ANY PRISON BATHROOM SCENES

    Phenomenal movie... Quite possibly Edward Norton's finest performance....
