"You missed the point of the movie" says the media literacy crowd>fireman dad murdered by black guy while putting out a fire>blacks try to break into his truck, shoots one and curb stomps the other, goes to jail>makes a black friend and decides to reform and become antiracist>gets out and his little brother is on the same path, tries to persuade him to stop hating black people>little brother defends a smaller white kid getting beat up on by a ghetto black, gets shot and killed by him the next day>original ending the director wanted was derek staring in the mirror, full of grief, and deciding to shave his head again>Edward Norton pitched a fit and had it changed to Derek reciting the final stanza of abe lincolns inaugural address (Abe wanted to send all the blacks to Liberia/Haiti after the civil war was over, but was assassinated)While I get that the point being made is something about the cycle of hatred repeating itself, at the end of the day it's black people who spend the whole film murdering people for petty reasons and engaging in theft by trying to break into Dereks truck.About the only thing Derek did that was legally wrong was curb stomping the second thief. But on the other hand we've got the utterly senseless murder of his father and brother by black people with zero impulse control, and yet the theme of the movie is that it's Derek who shouldn't have felt the way that he did.The film casts essentially no critical judgement on the black people murdering white people, and spends all its time addressing how Derek feels about it.
