Cameron Lee

This has got to be the most intense movie I have seen in a long time. The opening scene is just a shock to everyone and it is just one of those things you don't want to watch but can't help it. There is such an intense hatred between the supremacists and everyone else that it is hard to see why they are doing such violent acts. Although Derek attempts to give an explanation as to why they do what they do, it is very hard to agree with in any way. His father also gives a convincing lecture about people getting jobs because they are of a different race. However that benefits so many more people than one would expect. I do believe being of a different race helped me get into the university, as there were people ahead of me but got denied. Having a school or work of only white people also leads to the racist accusations that no one wants to hear. The things you see in this film leave a lasting impression and especially a chosen few scenes dont leave your memory in any short time.
