Spiritual Review: The Believer, a drama on DVD
of Daniel Balint, a 20-something neo-Nazi skinhead who denies his Jewish roots and talks incessantly about his desire to kill a Jew. We see Daniel intimidating and tormenting a meek and bookish Jewish man. We hear him ranting about how we should hate Jews simply because they’re Jews. We watch him join an underground anti-semitic fascist group that terrorizes Jews and which ultimately gets Daniel into a lot of trouble. Daniel has a Jewish female friend who wants to help him out. She says, “I don’t care about the truth, I care about you.” She’s telling Daniel that she values him more than she values worldly facts, social morals or Biblical truths. This is the central message and crux of the movie. The love we have in our hearts is the one true, irrefutable religion. It’s the one truth that cannot be argued or denied. Daniel also feels this love in his heart, and it makes him a very confused and conflicted person.
When his cohorts defile the Torah (the word of God), Daniel secretly and painstakingly repairs it. And when Daniel is presented with the two opportunities to actually kill Jews, he can’t do it. Daniel is supposed to be the sniper who shoots a respected Jewish leader, but he deliberately misses the shot. The next try comes when Daniel and his group stage a time-bomb that’s set to go off during a service in a synagogue. But when Daniel realizes his girlfriend and other friends are there, he warns them about the bomb before anyone gets hurt. Finally, Daniel achieves his goal of killing a Jew when he sacrifices his own life in the bombing.
