Stranger things have happened....
What can I say, but "stranger" or the more appropriate word for this film would be "crazier" things have happened and yes it is possible that a "wanna be" skinhead and a black woman to fall in love...
Why it is possible is because Ned in his heart is not a skin head racist but a scared person who just wants to belong...
He's been displaced most of his life and despite the fact that the girl he falls for goes against everything he supposedly believes in she does something he's been wanting his whole life....acceptance for who he is on the inside and out.
Vice versa for her as well....
Anyway, it is a cute little movie and if one keeps in mind that it is just a movie, you will enjoy it.
Highly recommend!
Only on a rare occasion..
Only on a rare occasion can I say that a movie that went straight to Starz then DVD, actually DESERVED a nationwide release in theaters. The acting, plot originality, flow, composition, and the way issues (such as racism, etc...) are portrayed in the film were all superbly done. It definitely should have been shown across the country. I look forward to Van Fischer's next movie, whenever that may be. Just hope I don't have to wait three years+ to see it. :-)
Show your support for Neo Ned, it is definitely a movie worth buying.
Neo Ned
Like most kids, Ned idolized his father and dreamed of following in his footsteps. Unfortunately, his father was a two-bit crook who spent most of his life in jail. Without a family of his own, Ned falls in with the Aryan Brotherhood. Soon after, Ned is placed in a mental hospital where he is mesmerized by a young black girl who believes Adolf Hitler was reincarnated in her. What follows is a gritty character study and poignant love story of two people brought together by a seemingly impossible connection. As a result of that connection, they both find that there is more to a person than what is on the surface. This movie is a little shocking, it's funny and its sad with a bittersweet ending all rolled in one. The acting is awesome. Highly recommend, you wont be disappointed.
