This movie came out nearly 30 years ago now, back when I was a lib and thought nazis=bad. Even back then, I thought it was odd that Norton's char has reams of unrebutted eloquent arguments for his stance and his hatred, yet he thaws out because... he gets raped up the ass? Or because he meets One Of The Good Ones? On the philosophical front, his nazi posture is never defeated so they have to resort to showing 'but nazis bad' in the most clumsy fashion.
I tried to point out to my friends that its anti-racist message was dependent entirely on emotion rather than intellect (this annoyed me at the time since I was not racist), but they didn't seem interested in absorbing or examining it on that level. Since that time, I guess more and more people came to realise this and that's what earned AHX its right wing fans.
"He gets raped in the ass in prison by nazis and stops being racist because of it lmao" - yes, and? That's exactly why the movie works against its intended message. It contains no actual anti-racism message other than 'reee you're probably faggots!'
I always laughed that the Black principal put a ton of special effort into "un-racisting" the kid who stood up to (nigger) bullies on others' behalf and does absolutely nothing about the violent niggers in his own school until they shoot someone right in the bathroom.
I always figured Norton went right back to being racist after the movie ends, that's why there's no real epilogue.
He does. They intended to end it with him looking at himself in the mirror, and as it fades to black, you hear him turn on the hair clippers. They took it out and left it vague because they thought it was too much of a gut punch.
The only good point that gets made is when the head of the Aryan Brotherhood (considered nigger tier by most White Nationalists) is buying, selling and using heroin.
