American History X
Starring: Edward Norton, Edward Furlong Directed by: Tony Kaye Rated R Synopsis: When a reformed skin head Derek (Edward Norton) is released from prison after serving only three years for killing two black men in self defense, he finds his younger brother Danny (Edward Furlong) has fallen into the same bad crowd of white supremacists. This film centers on Derek's fight to keep his family together and put the past behind him. My thoughts: This movie was very heartfelt and told an excellent story, and is something that everyone should see once in a life time. Scorecard: Acting: Edward Norton by far carried this movie. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his role. Very deservedly also. The acting was brilliant, and really can't be justified with words. (1) Direction: I don't think that director Tony Kaye ever made a movie after this one. Go out on top I suppose. The direction of this movie was perfect. (1) Story: This was a great story that had to be told. It is graphic and sad, but it was an excellent story. (1) Expectations: The sad thing about this movie, I expected the world from this movie, while I wasn't disappointed, it just didn't surprise me. (1/2) Boring?: There was nothing boring about this movie per-se, because it told a very intriguing story, and it really had me hooked for the entire movie. (1) Final Score: 4 1/2 out of 5 Final Thoughts: If you haven't already seen this movie, you should go out and find it. Be warned, there is a lot of violence and a lot of swearing, and this movie touches on some very controversial subjects, but the acting was phenomenal and the story was well written. Absolutely worth a look, and personally one of my favorite movies.
