great story, about two brothers who got influenced by the wrong people

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2003)

This is a very good movie because it showes how much your environment could influence you. The older brother starts becomming a nazi because of his father. At first his father tells him that he shouldnt believe everything his black teacher tells him and also makes clear that the american law is discriminating against white people. Than when his father gets killed in an African American neighbourhood he's becoming a Nazi, and later because of the influences in prison he has to review his opinion. The younger brother also becomes a nazi, but it seems to me that he has and always had serious doubts about the things nazi's believes in. I think he just became a nazi to support his brother. Well that's everything i want to say about the movie, not really a summary but just my opinion about what influenced the brothers to do what they do, and this is shown very well in the movie American History X
