Ed Norton in Nazi skinhead shocker: "I`ve got no hair!" says defendant.

Rating: 7/10 (3 March 2000)

O.K then. Where do we begin. At the end, clearly. WHAT is the moral of this film? Racism is bad. Thank you and goodnight. Or is it that white people are bad. No. It`s "I`m a director and I want to make a controversial film because then I`ll get well known." American History X tries too hard to be right-on, by telling us what we already know, in a stylish black-and-white (did you see what i did there?) film where a rather scary Ed norton tootles about not really having a clue about anything. If you are a Nazi, then you could carefully edit this film into propaganda. BUT I AM NOT, and I will not stand to be patronised by this faux-moral film. the ending is STUPIDLY predictable, and is not big or clever. So I say, stop making rubbish arty films. Mind you, this was watchable, so i gave it 7. Aaaaargh!
