Conversion

Rating: 7/10 (4 December 2006)

American History X was an amazing movie in that it centered around Derek Vinyard a troubled young man struggling with being a racist. Derek's racial views greatly impact his family and their lives. Daniel, Derek's younger brother takes up Dereks bad habits after an unexpected change occurs. Daniel, now a troubled young teen himself follows in Derek's footsteps. The movie did an excellent job showing how one's thoughts and conversion from one lifestyle to another can effect other individuals lives. Dereks conversion was certainly unexpected by Daniel but greatly admired by the rest of the family. Derek's conversion created a ripple effect and influenced many others. Good movie.
