American History X

That is a really good movie and I saw it again this evening. In the end, the younger Vinyard finishes his essay with the following quote. The Swedish translation did not use the word for "affection" but the word for "friendship" (vänskap).:

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

Hehe...Gott Nytt År to you too! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120586/quotes If you look there, it is a quote from the movie. Sure it might not be a quote that summarize the movie but that isn't my intention either. I just like the words and the ways one can interpret them.
