i watched The Believer today, with Ryan Gosling as a Neo-Nazi internally conflicted with being Jewish and being a Skinhead. I really loved this movie and i thought it was better than American History X. Danny (Ryan Gosling) was more connected to being his enemy than Edward Norton in X because he was his enemy, whereas Norton had no idea what it was like to be on the other side. They made the parallel of both worlds obviously present, maybe not to someone who doesn't know certain things about the Jewish faith, but when you look into it you'll understand. When we first see him conflicting with being Jewish, he gives the Nazi salute but with only a pinky raised. In the Jewish faith you're only supposed to point at the Torah with your pinky finger. Theres lots of things in the movie like that that made it realistic, i loved it.
Recommended, definately.
