One of the greatest movies ever

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2004)

WARNING SPOILER'S AHEAD: This movie has everything that a good movie needs. It has great acting from actors such as Edward Norton and Edward Furlong. It has a great storyline and the end is good, sad but good.
During the movie you see how someone can really change their own life. At the start of the movie Derek Vinyard is a skinhead leader of a white power movement. At the end he is no longer a man filled with hate, he becomes a man full of love for his family. Derek also pays the ultimate price for what he used to do with the death of Danny who is his brother who loves him to death.
American History X is brilliant with the bits in Black and White, this is a great symbol because when Derek was a skinhead for him it was just white people against black people. But when its in color he sees everyone as equal.
The end of the movie is very sad and emotional, when Danny gets shot and Derek comes running in and starts crying it is one of the most emotional scenes I have ever seen. The way that he would loved his brother was so great and he knows that it Danny's death could be blamed on him.
How Edward Norton didn't get nominated for an Oscar proves that the Oscar Commitie Board vote for people in politically correct movies. Edward is great in it and the movie is rated 10/10.
