    American History X is an intense drama.The story is about two neo-nazi brothers. After the elder is convicted of murder, he is sent to prison. There, he realizes his mistakes of the past. When he is released years later, he is a changed man. But upon noticing that his younger bro...( read more)ther is following his old ways, he tries to change him as well.The film is interesting because of the performances and the issue of racism. The motivations behind the brother's prejudices are clearly explained. They aren't evil by nature but rather misled. This makes them intriguing characters.Edward Norton and Edward Furlong fit the starring roles.The film is sad and heavy. But there is a good moral lesson in the end.

    Edward Norton proves his great skill as an actor and creative. This story is a touching take on racism and radicalism. And Avery Brooks shows his tallent beyond the bulkheads...

    Mitt hjärta krossas varje gång jag ser denna film. En vacker men otroligt smärtsam historia.
  • October 22, 2009
    Brilliant performance from Edward Norton.
  • October 21, 2009
    unlike most people didn't mind the ending
    it wouldn't have been as significant if it did not end the way it did
    The film though does suffer because it is really hard to compare this movie to every day common people and probably will not convert any Neo-Nazi Skinheads back to obje...( read more)ctivity.
    Edward Norton is AWESOME :P
  • October 21, 2009
    Wow, just wow. This movie is inspirational, yet depressing; violent, yet moving; disturbing, yet necessary. This has definitely made my top 50. Edward Norton plays a neo-nazi skinhead who goes to jail for killing two African-American males who were trying to steal his car, he sho...( read more)ots them down, and then does the "Curb Stomp," which is what this movie is known for, on the surviving African-American. He tells him to put his teeth on the curb, and then kicks the back of his head in. He goes to jail, and comes back three years later, a changed man, yet his younger brother, Edward Furlong is now going down the same wrong path that Norton did. The movie is about the relationship between both brothers, racism, and why nothing good comes from it. Beverly D' Angelo plays the boy's mother, and Jennifer Lien plays their sister. Avery Brooks plays the principal working with both boys, who won't give up on them. Elliott Gould has a small role as a teacher at the boy's school and he temporarilly dated their mother at one point in the film. Stacy Keack and Ethan Suplee play the other key white supremacists, and Fairuza Balk plays Norton's eo-nazi girlfriend. Christopher Masterson of Malcolm in the Middle also has a small role as the boy who is getting beat up in the bathroom in the beginning. The cinematography is amazing, the cashier through the window scene is very stylish, and the switch from black and white for the flashbacks and color filming for the present scenes was very cool. The music was well done and had alot of instrumentals that really helped to portray the feeling of pain and loss.

    In American History X is presented a great story of life completed by an outstanding performance made by Edward Norton. The other characters played their roles as expected even if not all the names over there were famous. But in the end they did nothing more than to shape Ed's ch...( read more)aracter to be more catchy to the public and spectacular in the same time. Absolute fabulous movie and a powerful story too.

    An awesum and a very touching movie.Derek Vinyard (Norton)a Neo-Nazi, was a good student with everything going for him until his father, a firefighter, was shot and killed by a black man. Derek was forced to drop out of school to help support his family. He soon started following...( read more) a white supremacy group in which he later became a leader of.
    After being sent to jail for 3 years for a race related murder, Derek is released with a whole new view on life. Upon his release, he comes to find out that his little brother Danny (Furlong) is heading down the same path that he was. He is now hanging out with the same hate group and commiting the same crimes.
    Derek sits Danny down and explains the horrors of prison. Danny understands where his brother is coming from and vows stop his doings and he and Derek were to pick up and move their family and start a new life. This plan ends too ubruptly when Danny is shot and killed the very next in school by a black student he had had a confrontation with the previous day.It was truly insprirn movie.My favourite quote of the movie was the ending line--"Life is too short to be pissed off all the time".All must watch this movie with Norton's new hot look in it!!!
