This movie is an absolute masterpiece and should not be considered violent rubbish.

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2007)

This movie was and still is an absolute masterpiece, highlighting several issues still prominent in modern society. Edward Norton plays his role fantastically and brings life to his character, although this itself is somewhat spine chilling. The racial vilification which is shown in this movie is still relevant to todays society, although it may not be quite as brutal as shown. The violence, while some may consider it to be grotesque and disturbing is in context and as such cannot be considered to take away from the movie, just as it is in Stanley Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange'.
Edward Furlong's performance completes a movie that will no doubt never be lost to the ages, while Ethan Suplee gives comic relief and still adds to the depth of the story with the portrayal of his character.
While there is indeed a indeed an amount of violence in this film, it can only be considered to be in context and appropriate to the story. This film is a masterpiece, full of feeling and brutality that still occurs in places both in America. It can only be considered to be one of the all time great films, to write it off as mindless, violent rubbish is absolute sacrelidge. 10/10
