Moving

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 1999)

There are few movies in my life that I have given a perfect rating for but this one really deserves that honor. American History X gives an honest portrayal of racism in the world we live in. You see, people who follow radical actions like the crime of hate usually have something that has lead to their radical behavior. One thing that really stuck deep within my soul is the realism that the people that are behind all these terrorist acts have in their minds reasons for their behavior. I felt sorrow for the incredibly true to life racist inequality that is prevalent everywhere. Edward Norton was absolutely brilliant in this film! I believe that he will rise to the challenge of any character he portrays. The truth is that life is not what it seems at times. This film, done so perfectly, gives us that view. One can not agree more after seeing American History X.
