American History...X

I saw it over the summer, and was just watching it again today, and I think it might just be one of the greatest movies ever produced... maybe not one of, but it is definitely a great movie. If you haven't seen it I suggest that you do. For those who have what do you think about it?

Amazing movie...it's about neo nazis (skinheads) vs minorities...dont want to ruin it for you so that is all ill say but ill will have an impact on you
 
i watch it sometimes before heading out to the mountain. gets me fuckin PUMPED....especially that part where he rallies up the boys and destroys that store.
 
how the fuck do you watch it? i click play then it says this is only a preview, view full here, click that it says the same thing, then i click something else and it tells me to install something. so i did..now what
 
you have to install the veoh player to watch it, as far as I know its safe, I haven't had any problems with it. A lot of movies you watch online use it
 
I saw it because I was watching that 70s show and then a commercial came on and it looked intersting. It's a great movie but the endings just so depressing.
 
definitely an amazing movie. its very intense and you need to be mature to watch it and fully comprehend the seriousness of it....IMO.
 
I'd really suggest renting it, I started watching the FX censored version then switched over to the DVD, it's deffinitely better uncensored. very powerful film though
 
Yeah it really is.

The part that got me was when he made that guy kiss the curb. I had to look away.
 
Def. one of the better movies out there. Its about two young brothers that are in in a gang of nazi supporters. The brother ends up in jail and it really shows a lot of anger from them and what groups like that stand for.

The curb stomp makes me cry
 
Overall good movie.

However ... the story like "I was a nazi and I changed now I love everyone and everybody" looks too "hollywoodish" to me.

It's kinda like If I made a movie were a SS discovers in a communist jail after Stalingrad that communism is the shit.

Ok, that's hollywoodish cause it's a movie. Anyway, I was a little disappointed when wtching the moive. It lacks balance and a bit of credibility, reality.

However, visually, this is a great film. The photography director knows his job!
 
I agree and disagree. I think that yes the movie was hollywood, and it was just like POOF he loves everyone and is no longer a member of the Aryan Nation and shit.....

But on the otherhand it was really moving, and shows that everything can change.

One thing i REALLY wanted to see was like a sequel or something...Like does he continue to try and stop racism, or does he go back to his old ways from his brothers death? i could see it going both ways....
 
SPOLIER

yea except it was more like i got annally raped by my arayian brothers so i fucking hate that shit now, and the only reason i'm alive is a black guy.

i would agree with you if his brother hadn't died.
 
SPOILER ALERT!

He goes through jail though and thats what changes him, he realizes that the big groups in jail still deal with all the blacks and other races, and that turns him away from his gang, then finally after years of silence between his washing partner he finally realizes that he saved him from dieing in jail. He then realizes that different people arn't bad, its the people who suppress people are bad
