A story of redemption and change about a former Neo-Nazi skin head who wants to stop his younger brother from taking the same mistakes he have done

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2016)

A powerful politically charged film about the Neo-Nazi ideology in America. Neo-Nazism have the elements of a Nazism ideology which are ultra nationalism, racism, able-ism, xenophobia, homophobia, antiziganism, antisemitism, and initiating the Fourth Reich. The film focuses on racism and xenophobia, the white people fears that foreigners(Asian/Latin) who owned businesses will only hire foreigners and it will lead to a higher number of jobless white people. Racism is also one of the film main theme thinking that white people have supremacy over people of colors. American History X excels in story telling, why? because of its black and white and colored scheme every time there is a flashback, which is in black and white format and wherein its story line evolved. The colored one represents the present time.
Edward Norton got nominated for this film and I think he really deserves it one of the flawless acting performance I've ever seen, It's shame that the Academy didn't nominate this gem in the Best Picture category I think the reason is its provoking theme and I think the academy is not ready to recognize a Powerful Politically charged film during the 90's
