Makes You Realize How Life Is Important

Rating: 10/10 (29 February 2004)

Some say this film is about Nazis, some say it's about friendship and the rest say it's about family. I think the film is about people learning from there mistakes, trying to correct them and being forgiven and also growing up and seeing the world in a different light. History X tells us how impressionable our children are in the new millennium and let's face for the past forty and fifty years since the arrival of the Sixties and Rock N Roll but there is also a side to the movie which is giving it's audience food for thought and making you realize what is really important and that's to believe in what you believe not in what you are told to believe. It's like that in schools, countries and even prisons where you are told what to believe, what to think and what to feel (Famous words of Tony Montana) and it makes you realize that you have to be a free spirit to get along in this world. I see Tony Kaye trying to make us learn rather than enjoy his film about Nazis Gangs in America.
