Educating

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2006)

The movie definitely brought a new perspective of society to my knowledge. Before seeing this movie a couple of years ago, I wasn't aware that there were skinheads in modern day. Even though the movie is quite controversial, it brings out a moral which everyone should respect. I love how the movie defined society and the influence of a person's environment, family, and upbringing. American History X was an excellent movie and it is also a great movie to tell others about. There are plenty of uneducated people out there that need to understand how their actions may be wrong. I think that this movie should be taught in school, or at least segments of it. It is a great movie and it will definitely pertain to modern society in 5, 10, 20 years because these issues still haven't stopped. Edward Norton perfectly portrayed Derek Vinyard, there is no doubt about that. For all the times that I have watched this movie over and over, it still shocks me and it never feels old. It is absolutely incredible.
