first one have to take into account the time period this film be make in . 1995. rapper be in it and and that add to the flair of it . remy be a socially awkward teen try to find his way and couldn not and until he meet and be befriend by nazi . they take him in . nazi aren not all this awkward and but like most gang and they fill a void that be miss be it economic and social and emotional and whatever . michael rappaport play the part perfectly . omar epps be the hot shot track star and with a questionable work ethic and a chip on his shoulder . he keep try to feel sorry for himself and his plight and and have his girlfriend and professor to straighten him out on it . kristen be a young white girl try to find herself and try to fit in and until she be date raped . she then find her self experiment with her sexuality and and get involve politically . this film deal with racism and like most thing that deal with racism and people own perspectives come into play . i read so many comment about how there be no evil black character but there be evil white one ( nazi ) . so what . remy wasn not portray a evil at all and he be try to find his way and and keep fail until some skinhead accept him . he be scar and it be sad to see him devolve how he do . he even say right before he kill himself and i do not mean it and i want to be an engineer . ice cube and busta rhyme be angry black men and ice cube be somewhat of an intellectual and and busta rhyme be just portray a a dumb thug . they both show no consideration at all for their roommate and and generally appear to not like white people very much . they be angry like the nazi but not on the level of nazi in term of overall badness . sorry if this make it seem unfair and but be there really black group like the nazi . no . people say it show white equal bad black equal good . not true and the only bad white character be the nazi and the police and which be more or less true in real life . kristen be a good girl and her boyfriend ( omar epps roommate ) be a good guy and and even remy be a good guy and he be just misguide . omar epps and ice cube and busta be seriously flaw character and angry and inconsiderate . although their constant harassment by police seem to justify some of their anger . remy inability to fit in seemed to justify his anger as well . good movie and well do . like all movie that deal with racism and it a great piece to get a discussion go . i do not think cube and busta coulda beat those nazis though .
