One of the greatest works of anti-fascism ever

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2010)

American History X is a classic. It's one of the strongest arguments against racism, Nazism and intolerance ever on the silver screen, and what makes this story even more horrifying is the fact that it's based on a real event.
Edward Norton was robbed of an Oscar. His performance in this film is absolutely haunting - but really, the acting is excellent all-round. Edward Furlong is fantastic as the conflicted yet gifted Danny Vinyard.
This is a film that is powerful, frightening, moving and heartbreaking. It's a tale of a family torn apart by hatred and the relationship between two brothers. There are moments not easy for those with weak stomaches, but it is something you must see.
