American History X
I can’t believe they only made a DVD for this with some short deleted scenes and that is it. There would be so much to say about it – I want interviews with the director, with the actors, about the background, argh. Amazing.
Another thing I would like to say is that I don’t want to say anything. Seriously, the topic of this movie just makes anything I could possibly say feel wrong, opportunist and dishonest. And so, this is the type of movie that I would love to discuss with other people who have seen it one-on-one, but I don’t want to ramble about it, although there are so many things I would want to see: The racism issue itself, the way the story was built, the characters (especially this high school teacher who started off as a really charming character and ended so annoyingly for me) and of course the very end.
Finally, I loved the movie, and it left me awake and thinking for the majority of the night (although I suppose that my worries about my thesis actually played a part in it too). So whoever wants to discuss it with me: Leave me an IM possibility of an e-mail address if I am not in touch with you already (I guess every reader of this blog is, haha).
I remember seeing this in the cinema. Pity I don’t remember anything else, except for the sidewalk scene. Censorship on DVD = fail.
I have a soft spot for issues pertaining to racism, violence and the far-right movement. I’d recommend “Romper Stomper” for more wayward neo-nazi teen violence.
Uh oh, the sidewalk scene was the worst. Don’t refrain yourself from re-watching the movie if you have forgotten most of it! If the DVD sucks… you still have the internet XD
