American History X

In the scene when Danny gets shot in the school’s toilet, he looses the paper he has written. Afterwards, we see him holding the paper in his right hand. I’m wondering(seriously) if anyone has an explanation to this. I can’t see that it has any cinematic value to do so. The guy is dead, he has lost the paper. The next second he is holding it. I’ve studied film, and there’s no way a director would do such a thing intentionally. So, has anyone heard anything about this? Maybe an interview where the director said why he chose do screw up like this? Or could it just be a glitch?
Anyways, been taking up too much of your time now.
btw.I’ve finished all my exams and tomorrow I’m heading home [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img]

Darned good film, but I think you’ve seen it a *few* times more then I have. [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img] Seriously though, I have no idea; I think it’s a mistake, or at least not a cinematic statement.

I thought the paper he wrote was sort of ‘denouncing’ (sp [img]images/smiles/converted/smile.gif[/img]) his racist ways. Probably just a wee continuity error.
