American History X
 

Alot of people who generally have very good taste in movies seem to love this movie. Ive never been able to figure out why.

My guess is that alot of people simply enjoy the explict racism. Everyone loves that 'sick' scene where he tells the n----a to bite the curb. Its edgy, which fits alot of peoples agenda.

As for all other aspects of film making, it failed.

It's called a CURB.

I'm sorry you couldn't appreciate the movie...to each his own.

Re: American History X
 

Yeah, either that or it's a good movie.

Re: American History X
 

I'm so convinced that this is a good movie, I'll give you $100 if you watch it again.

Intersting background on the movie.

The director of the movie Tony Kaye wanted his name removed from the movie and replaced with Humpty Dumpty after Ed Norton re-edited it for the studio. He even sued them for over $200 million dollars for leaving his name on as director. It would have been intersting to see his version of the film as there are a couple parts where it feels a little strange.

All of the aspects that don't involve bottlecapping, apparently.
