<p>Given the white supremacist shooting that's been all over the news, I just happened to browse by American History X and decided to watch the movie for the first time. I just have to say wow. That movie is truly a masterpiece. If you haven't seen it, I really urge you to go out and do so. It's as powerful as Slumdog Millionaire, and dare I say it, I might have liked norton in it mroe than him in the fight club</p>
<p>Old movieee…where have you been for the past 10 years? Actually make that 11 years. WOWWW some people are really behind, it’s irritating.</p>
<p>It’s better than Slumdog Millionaire that movie was so fruity at the end HAHAHAHAA.</p>
<p>haha. i know 1998. i was 6 at the time though so i don’t think i would have appreciated it</p>
<p>Haha it’s ok I only saw that movie like 2 years ago lol.</p>
<p>The movie has stayed relevant since its release. The white supremacist movement has gained a lot of momentum these past couple of years (as it does anytime the economy takes a downturn).</p>
<p>Thankfully, they’ve lacked any charismatic leadership. If someone, or a group, came along right now that could control an audience, speak well, and wasn’t afraid to go head to head with the mainstream media… well, we’d have a hell of a problem on our hands.</p>
<p>That movie is so great. It’s actually #39 on IMDB’s list of Top 250 movies of all time.</p>
<p>But it needs to gain more popularity. It needs to achieve the same popularity as Fight Club.</p>
<p>AHX is a far better movie than Fight Club, IMHO. Yeah, it’s plot is more linear, and rather predictable, but few movies I’ve seen display the raw power American History X does. (Shawshank Redemption & City of God come to mind)</p>
<p>I just have one question about American History X: why is the little black guy so nice to Derek when they’re in prison together? Kind of seemed like the Magic Negro trope to me.</p>
<p>That little black guy, Guy Torry, is a hilarious comedian.</p>
<p>I really want to watch this movie again now.</p>
<p>This is in my top five favorite movies. I love it. Right now, my senior quote is going to be “I think the street would kill you. Your rhetoric and your propaganda aren’t gonna save you out there,” said by Sweeney, of course.</p>
<p>kansasdemocrat - Shawshank is undoubtedly my favorite movie of all time.</p>
<p>kasnasdemocrat - city of god is undoubtedly one of the best movies of all time</p>
