Analyzing a movie/character!

Today I will write specifically about one character and his stereotype! 

What is Nazism? Who practice? Who is the target? Why people do this? Have many questions about this theme and many discussion since World War II. Nazism is a kind of Racism, it was a reason to many people died in the 40’s and left scars in society even today. In the movie “Higher Learning” by John Singleton shows many kind of discrimination and one of this is Nazism represented by a character called Remy.

Remy is a freshman in the Columbus University and all is new for him. He wants to make a fiends, go to parties and have fun. But one day before his first class, his another mates invited a group to drink and listen music, and Remy can’t sleep. So, he called the cops to stop the party. This is the first misunderstanding between Remy and the “Black Guys”.  After that Remy went to another room far from their dorms, but this is not enough to separate Remy and the “Black Guys”. Remy has during the movie another misunderstood with his “friends”, what only feed his hate.

Finally Remy finds a quiet place to read his book, but one guy sees Remy alone and talk with him about his friends and parties, and then Remy’s life change totally. Those guys are Nazi and talk about their goals and philosophy. So, Remy finds an opportunity to have a family and feels important for someone. And gradually he accept the guys and the Nazi. This concept was created after the World War I, and they defend a pure race, the Aryan race, who didn’t be or didn’t agree with them will be killed. They killed a lot of Jews and Black people in World War II.

Now, that concept is totally truth and Remy in his day by day sees another people from another countries, with another skim tone and with another culture, and these things let him annoyed. So, he finds Malik (a black guy) who suffers racism and Remy provokes him, and then start a dispute between Remy and Malik. This situation becomes serious and Remy threats Malik with gun, and then Malik comes back with his group and start a fight with Nazis guys. Remy feels uncomfortable with that situation and he prepares a plan to kill principally these black guys. After he killed a lot of people, including Malik’s girlfriend, Remy try to scape, but didn’t work, he see himself in a hard situation and then he commited suicide.

We can see how Racism, or Nazism can be a serious and tragic history. Remy was looking for a friends and a good life surrounded by people but he had a weak mind. Today we need to educate the next generation about the equally treatment, it doesn’t matter their religion, culture, skim tone; all people deserve respect.
