Here's one for the "Excellent movie in spite of it's bullsh*t Leftist multi-cult propaganda" category.
American History X (1998)
Starring Edward Norton, Edward Furlong, Beverly D'AngeloEd Norton (great actor, notorious Leftist) plays a former neo-nazi skinhead convict trying to prevent his little brother (Edward Furlong from Terminator 2) from following in his footsteps. In a series of flashbacks, we see a younger Norton get sucked into White supremacy after his father is murdered by a Black guy, until Norton's hatred alienates him from his family and ultimately leads him to commit racist cold-blooded murder, and spend hard time in prison. In prison, the only person who treats him decently is a Black prisoner, and as he's torn between racism, prison-gang race stereotypes, and true friendship, he has a transformation, and rejects his hatred and his racism. Upon leaving prison, he attempts to save his brother from his associations with the skinheads.
If that was the extent of it, this would be a great teaching tool of the evils of racism and the self-destructiveness of unchecked hatred. Norton's work is nothing short of brilliant. The malevolent cut of his glare coupled with the thick black swastika on his chest has you believing the hate.
But that isn't the extent of it. The propaganda aspect of the movie attempts to lead the viewer to the conclusion that mainstream conservative thinking regarding race issues leads to neo-nazi violence and hatred. To those aware of it, it shows us that this attempt to portray mainstream America as racist has been happening on the Left for a long time.
Watch this scene (volume is quiet, so turn up a bit). This is earlier in the film, before Norton becomes fully engaged in the neo-nazi movement. The family is having dinner, with Eliot Gould playing the Jewish boyfriend of Norton's mother. The discussion turns to race relations, and if you listen to Norton's words, ignoring how they're delivered, as a conservative, you will likely agree with EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. That is... until he turns on a dime, and this character espousing perfectly mainstream conservative ideology regarding race and illegal immigration turns into a violent, abusive, racist maniac, ending with Beverly D'Angelo (mom) saying, "I'm shamed that you came out of my body," and Norton's reply, "Go run to your f**king kike." The film quite deftly associates conservatism with racist White supremacy, as you'll see here...
