The Believer

I rented this movie the other night. It was another version of American History X, except there was no funny moments in this movie. It was about a Jewish kid that grows up to be a Neo Nazi.
The main character hid from the rest of the world that he was Jewish, he was the most powerful of the Klan. If you like political movies that have a point, then you will like this. Like I said there is no comic relief at all in this movie, its very serious in the aspect of human nature. The down fall about this movie, was that after I watched it, I had a different opinion of the Jewish religion and it wasn't a good one. There is no way, I think what happened to them was right, but in this movie the main character made some good points and facts about what happened. I'm not racist at all, I have no beef with anyone who is different from me, but this movie changed me a little after seeing it. If you see this movie you will understand why. A father is telling a story t one of the nazi boys about what happened to his son, and how a S.S Solider killed his 3 year old son in front of him and he stood there and did nothing. That bothered me, I know according to books I have read "even the Bible" said that the Hebrews never fought for their country, nore would they fight to save the life of their son according to the main character. It made me mad, that this man sat there and watched his kid die and did nothing. I would fight the Soldier even if I died, at least I would die with pride and not have to see my son die. Out of my usual 10 stars, I gave this a * * * * * 1/2. the reason so low, is because the message was there, but it wasn't a good one. I recommend it to 17+.To hate the Jews you have to study on why you hate them.
