American History X : a family destruction portrait due to ideology

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2005)

An absolutely strong story. Although some exaggeration of the characters and bad language used, the film fulfills its original purpose: to shake consciences and thoughts. I teach ESL in a High School in San Bernardo Chile and I have used this picture as part of the English class- Fourth Grade - My students have done some previous activities,watched this film and discussed after watching. They've always been very interested and impressed with the plot and Now, one of their assignments is to post some short comments about American History X here in this section or in the Message Boards. greetings,from Chile Cmact.
