Powerful movie

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2013)

Edward Norton should have won in 1999. He was amazing, as Derek. In one Person: Rigid, crazy, and likable. Story was simple, however the evoked emotions was powerful. Though well-intentioned, turns out to be a simplistic and unconvincing look at a serious problem. This is, perhaps, one of the most difficult films there is there is to watch. Nobody gets out completely unscathed in this film. Not the white people, not the black people, not the correctional system (Norton's character kills two people and he gets out in three years), and certainly not the viewer. If there's the smallest seed of intolerance in the bowels of your soul, it will be shown to you, and it will not be pleasant. I'm a very tolerant person, and American History X shook me to my core.
Thank you this movie for everybody in staff!
