American History X was a great movie!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2009)

The movie American History X explains the life of a former neo-Nazi/ skinhead who is trying to keep his younger brother from becoming a racist and committing the same mistakes he did before he was sent to jail.
Derek Vineyard, played by Edward Norton, is a very troubled young man whose father basically raised him to be violent and have hatred against other people of various ethnicities. After being imprisoned for murdering two black men, Derek finally notices that not just African Americans and Jews are to blame for everything that goes on in the world. When coming out of jail, Derek is determined to speak out to his younger brother Danny. Since looking up to his brother Derek was very important to him, Danny ended up following all of Derek's ideas and who other ethnicities are the problem in the world.
The actors in the movie have done a very great job in portraying the characters. Edward Norton does a phenomenal job portraying the character Derek Vineyard in the movie. His emotional change from being a gang leader of a white supremacist to a man who is enlightened by good ideas and not using other ethnicities as scapegoats is very transitioning in the movie. Actor Avery Brooks also does an outstanding job playing Dr. Bob Sweeny a principal who enforces hard work into his students.
The view and the scenery of the movie makes people feel like their part of what's going on the in the movie. There are also many intense scenes, but I rather not spoil it for people who are going to watch the movie. Although there is a lot of foul language, the movie is made in an impeccable and interesting way.
I think that people should go ahead and rent this movie. It is a very great movie and people could learn from it. This would be a very go movie for people who like drama, action, and very intense conflicts. It can also be a lesson for younger viewers that using hatred and violence against people can't get you anywhere, so go ahead and watch the movie. You will be amazed.
