Plot summary:
Reformed neo-Nazi Derek Vinyard is released from prison after serving only three years (on a manslaughter charge) for murdering two young black men he caught breaking into his car. Upon being released, he finds that his younger brother, Danny (the narrator), has embraced his old ways in his absence and has become an active white supremacist in the group Derek led before his arrest. The film centers on Derek’s decision to sever ties with his racist past whilst trying to keep his brother from following in his footsteps. The film also centers on events that lead him to change his views about other “races”. It also has major elements similar to those of Ovid’s Pygmalion Myth.
Plot synopsis:
The film tells the story of Derek Vinyard (Norton), taking place in the late 1980s and early 1990s. An extremely bright and charismatic student, Derek is drawn into the neo-Nazi underground after his father, a firefighter, is shot and killed by a black drug dealer while fighting a fire in a crack house. Derek had already been influenced by his father’s critical views on black culture and affirmative action (his father refers to it as “affirmative blacktion”), and his outlook was so galvanized by the circumstances of the murder that when asked how he felt about his fathers death by a news reporter, he launched a racist tirade on a local TV station.
Eventually Derek becomes second-in-command of the Venice Beach neo-Nazi gang, “The Disciples of Christ (D.O.C.)”, which entices young whites to join by promising protection from predominantly minority gangs who are essentially in control of the area. He and Cameron Alexander, the adult leader of D.O.C., eventually regain control of the boardwalk, basketball court, and beach area, and maintain a large presence at the high school. Alexander uses Derek to recruit other members who have become frustrated at being attacked by gangs of different ethnicities. One night, Derek assembles many of the white power skinheads in front of a store that is owned by a Korean immigrant, and employs many illegal immigrants . He makes a speech of hatred by saying that most of these immigrants are stealing the rightful jobs of Americans, and without hesitation, they ruthlessly attack most of the employees and clientèle in the store.
A dinnertime discussion about the then-current Rodney King incident and race relations is pivotal. Murray (Gould), a Jewish guest, maintains a liberal view shared by Derek’s mother, Doris (Beverly D’Angelo) and sister; Derek attacks this and launches into a racist diatribe supported by his girlfriend, as Danny watches. The dinner ends in chaos, violence, and confrontation; Derek threatens Murray and displays the large Swastika tattooed on his chest, saying, “See this? That means Not Welcome.” Doris orders Derek out of her house and he says he’ll be gone in the morning.
That night, three black men park in front of the Vinyard house and break into Derek’s car. His younger brother, Danny, hears them and informs Derek, telling him that a black man was stealing his car. Derek becomes infuriated and seizes a pistol from a nightstand drawer and puts on a pair of steel toed combat boots. Derek shoots one of the men, killing him, and wounds a second. The third escapes in their car. Derek kills the wounded man by ordering him to place his mouth on the curb and then stomps on the back of his head (known as curb stomping), effectively breaking his jaw and neck. Danny watches in horror and witnesses his brother’s arrest, who smiles triumphantly at Danny while being handcuffed.
Derek is sentenced to three years in prison, charged with voluntary manslaughter. (Danny notes in his paper, but deletes, that if he had testified, Derek would have gotten life in prison). In prison, he joins the Aryan Brotherhood, for protection. His strong belief system, and his distrust of the politics and favors within the group, soon alienates him from his supposed allies. During his prison stay, his white supremacist gang, angry at many of Derek’s actions (ironically, mostly due to his anger over the group’s dealings with a Mexican gang), proceed to gang rape him during a group shower while the guard on duty turns a blind eye.
At the same time he’s aileniating the Aryan Brotherhood Derek makes the acquaintance of a black inmate named Lamont (Guy Torry), with whom he works in the prison laundry room. Although he originally scorns Lamont, he gradually warms to him and after the rape, he sees that Lamont is his only friend and abandons the gang. Just before Derek is released on parole, largely due to his former Honors English teacher Dr. Sweeney’s (Brooks) vouching for him, he realizes that only through Lamont’s intervention did the black prison gangs leave him unharmed.
Derek returns home to find that his little brother Danny has modeled his own life like Derek’s pre-incarceration beliefs. In addition to associating with the D.O.C., Danny has written a paper arguing for Hitler as a civil rights hero. His teacher, Murray, wanted to expel him, but now-principal Sweeney felt it would be better to make him write a new paper on the last few years of Derek’s life than to turn him loose to the dangers of the streets. Danny reluctantly converts from his old ways after Derek advises about these events and how to write about them.
Derek visits his old neo-Nazi mentor, Cameron Alexander, and informs him that he’ll no longer associate with him. He threatens Alexander, warning him to keep away from Danny. The scene ends violently, with Derek beating the man and storming out. The next morning, Danny walks into his high school bathroom with his report, and is fatally shot several times in the chest. The gunman, a black youth, was previously involved in an altercation with Danny, when Danny stood up for a young white male being harassed by the black youth. Derek runs in and embraces his brother’s body, crying uncontrollably.
The film ends with shots of the beach at sunset, and Danny reciting the last lines of his essay he was going to turn in, a quote originally said by Abraham Lincoln in his inaugural address. This is the revised addition: “We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”
