Review of The Believer (2001) by Hans J. E — 27 Mar 2010
Unlike other films such as American X, the Believer approaches the topic with much more intellectual examination of issues of racism and anti-Semetic American culture today.This a powerful and compelling film, with a lead performance by Ryan Gosling that manages to rival Ed Norton's Oscar-nominated performance in "American History X.
" We see early on that Danny is capable of doing appalling things, but his moral conflicts are then presented so persuasively that we cannot help but empathize with him.The Believer poses serious questions to challenge audiences about the insidious nature of racism, bigotry, and fascism that permeate American society today.
