Three important events in the movie:

1. The first event is when Derek Vinyard shoots/kills a pair of black people in the middle of the night.

2. The second important event is when Derek becomes good friends with a black guy in prison.

3. The last important event is when Danny gets shot by a black man and dies.

The massage in the movie, we think is, that rasism is such a strong subject. It can develop to something more bigger. Although we live in the 21 century and considering on everything that has happend, rasism is still going on. Every person is equal and important. It dosen't matter what skin color you have it has nothing to do with who you are as a person.

The movie takes place in Venice, a neighborhood by a beach in L.A

Derek is the main character while his little brother Danny is the minor character. Both of them change throughout the movie but it takes time.

The main conflict in the movie is raisism. The nazigang hates the black guys around them.

The theme of the movie is as the title says, American history. You get to see how it was in American back in the days and probably still is in a few places. The message we would say is that it still occurs, that people still think the the color of peoples' skin matters and that it determines their future.

According to us the movie has an open ending just because you don't know what's going to happen to Derek after Danny's death. To Danny it's pretty much a closed book. His ending is closed.

Three importen events that we tought was speciall was...

- When Derek meet the black guy in the prison that he did the laundery with. And that he Derek to see the black peopel in another way.  Derek learned that not to judge people by they skin colour.

-When Dereks brother Danny was shoot i the school toilet by a black guy. We think it was a to reavange on Derek. Also in that part we tought emotional was when Derek ran in to his borther and huged him with all the blood on the wall.

- And one part that maybe was forgotten was when Derek and his friends played against the balck guys. And they played for the court.

1: We think that you not should judge people from their looks. That you need to get to know the people before you starta to judge them.

2.That in Amercia it happens more that peopel with guns kill people then in maybe Sweden. But alot has change then that time hte movie was played.

3: Not allowing guns to people?

it's about a man who is a nazi, He does very bad things and after a while he comes to the prison, He hates black people, And there is many black people in the prison, And he had to work with one of them, At first he hated him but after a while he started to like him and they became friends , And his opinion about nazism changed.

Derek is the older brother and Danny is the younger brother. When they were younger their father taught them that the black people wasn't good.

1. From the movie we learned that even bad people can become good. Derek also learned that what his father told them before about the black people was so wrong.Derek learned a lot when he was in prison.

2.

The message of this movie is that racism is bad and that a big conflict can change a mans thoughts regarding everything and in this movie especially racism.

The big conflict in this movie was that Derek didn't want to be in his gang anymore which made them angry.

Three important events that happend

- When derek killed the coloured person in the start, because that started the whole chainreaktion where he started to become a changed man because of his time in jail.

- The flashback where you see the father because in that scene you can see the origin from where the racism started in their lives.

- When Derek saw the other nazi in the prison negotiate with the latinos, he didn't think they were real nazis anymore and we think that that was the changing point in his life.

We have learned that racism is wrong (which we already knew), also that the slightest event in your life can change your entire mindset.

There are still a lot of racism amongst us considering the history from the second world war, and dispite the time we are living in, that this movie was around 25 years ago. You think that racism would not occur anymore since there have been so many campains and similar events in almost the whole world.

We don't know what we cant do to stop the violence/racism.
