Today I finally went out and watched the movie "Final Destination." I thought the movie itself was really great, but there was one particular scene that I'll never forget.
In the beginning of the movie, there is a huge crash at a Nascar race and 52 spectators get killed. One of the redneck Nascar fans survives the disaster and blames the black security guard for the death of his wife. Later on that night, he gets drunk and drives his tow truck over to the security guard's house. He begins digging a hole, trying to set a wooden cross up in the yard.
Somehow, in the middle of his drunk hatred, he gets caught up on a chain linked to the back of his truck and catches on fire. His truck starts rolling down the street, with him dragging behind it. His stereo starts blaring the song "Why Can't we be Friends" as he's pulled down the street on fire.
The death of the racist in this fictional horror-film was really powerful. The music playing made it kind of funny yet serious at the same time. The movie sent out the message that racism is cruel and that karma is a bitch.
If you're into this sort of movie, feel free to check out the scene...
