An amazing and powerful movie...

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2009)

There is a lot that can be said about this movie, and I don't doubt nearly all of it is positive. With excellent narration and an important message, this movie describes the potential of every human being, and what the will to change can accomplish in a person and his environment.
It depicts what a man's downfall can bring and how his own very will can change that man, and those he love, to the better. The movie's more direct message goes to show what pain and misery racial prejudice and hate can bring.
There are some very violent scenes, but if these things are used in the right way, they just underline the power with which the movie delivers its message and I can truthfully state that in American History X, they do.
