Amazing beyond words

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2005)

Edward Norton and Edward Furlong give a flawless and incredible performance. American History x is a phenomenally written movie that is TERRIBLY UNDERRATED. Perhaps it was the controversy surrounding this film that caused it to be silenced in the media, I only got to watch it because of "chance" (luckily I heard it from a website). Anyways, it's about a man named Derek whose life is presented out in pieces throughout the film on his Neo-Nazi beliefs, and the progression of his recovery in prison to discover his beliefs and anger have only destroyed him throughout the years. He then must prevent his brother Daniel from pursuing the same path. This movie is beyond words. It is definitely in the Top 10 movies I have ever seen. There are just no words to describe how moved I felt when the film was done. I recommend it to anyone who is in the mood for watching a fantastic movie. To be more accurate, I would give this movie 9.9/10, not a perfect score because the ending was too sad.
