One of the best Films Ever

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2004)

Every Time I see this film I love it even more! I put it in the top ten films ever. American History X takes you into a world seldom seen by outsiders, the world of the American Neo-Nazi's. The film is a powerful portrayal of two brothers caught up in the downward spiral of hate and racism that is the core values of the Neo-Nazi's.The older brother Derek (Edward Norton) goes to prison for murder when he finds three black guys stealing his car. After a rough stay in prison he is released and finds his brother Danny (Edward Furlong) following the hateful path, that he himself was on. Derek struggles with the legacy he has laid down for his little brother and vows to change in order to break the cycle of hatred. This film will make you cry, smile, and leave you with something to think about at the end. I strongly recommend you view this film.
