American History X Shower scene

This scene has so much meaning. The part with Derek and Danny as children running in the beach just shows that we are all born with pure hearts and And though they may become tainted as we live life, like Derek, a sudden event pushes us to look back and think that maybe we were walking down the wrong path. The shower, the beach, the all great allusions. This movie teaches that no one benefits from Hate, and that in the end you will gain nothing from Hate.
