A story that touches home for me...

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2001)

This movie really moved me. My sister was a white supremicist while we were growing up, so I saw alot of what went on in the film in reality. It was not a pretty sight. For a while, her beliefs were my beliefs, simply because I admired my older sister. I hung around with her and her friends in a weak effort to fit in, much in the way that Danny does in this film.

American History X really touches base on alot of angles in the Nazi/Skinhead communities. I am thankful that someone took the time out to make this movie, because it has a strong message. I know that it wont change everyone's mind, but I hope that it can reach enough people to make a difference.
Edward Norton gave the performance of his career so far, but Im sure he has more to come. He deserves all the applause he receives for this movie. Thank you, Edward, for such an amazing film.
