The movie spends the first two thirds building up Ed Norton to be some kind of badass neonazi supersoldier, only for him to have a near-death experience product of his hate and his brother die for the same hate he instilled in them. Neonazis don't care for the human aspect of the story or his redemption (as half-assed and tenuous as it was), they only care about "Ed Norton was a badass neonazi in this film til he became a pussy"
Wild. I actually saw that movie as a teenager and it did actually have an impact on me but the complete opposite. The lesson I took from it was be careful who you hang out with. If you choose wrong enough your life can take a scary turn.
There's the difference between you and the average neonazi. You engaged with the text and got a message from it, while a neonazi either can't or willingly won't look any deeper than the surface appearance of superiority and masculinity in any piece of media. It's either flattering or indicative of the oversized influence/power the "undesirables" have.
