"hate is baggage, life's too short to be pissed off all the time. its just not worth it"
we live in turbulent times. there is lot of friction in society; friction because, we're not all the same shape to fit in easily. we need our space. some, however, think they need more space. thats where the problem lies. the solution is in the mind; it is in the above quote; the quote is from the movie...a beautiful movie
American History X ... an insight to racism...an insight to what it is like to hate...an insight to the mind games people play
Edward Norton goes all out in this one as the frustrated nazi skin-head. A dream performance from him, ably supported by Edward Furlong ( John Connor from Terminator). The rest of the cast is blurred away by their combined brilliance. Edward Norton is under-rated, i'm telling you
Technically, its a well put-together film. There is no nonsense in the screenplay which is paced nicely. The camera highlights the flashback scenes beautifully and the use of slow motion enhances the moments in the film.
On the whole, a good movie, but maybe it just falls short of greatness by being a bit vague in its conclusion. The narration could have probably used some more facts to strengthen the case.
I'd like to start rating from hereon. so here goes
concept: 8/10
performance: 9/10 (norton all the way)
technical: 8/10
screenplay: 8/10
overall: 8.2/10
