American History X is one of those movies that shines a bright light into those evil parts of the human soul that you're rather not see, but you know are there. It's brilliant because the acting is superb, and the story progresses in such a way as to slowly unfold the problem of racism and hate, starting at the surface and working downwards into all the "underneath" reasons why it exists. It's a little bit like reading Kafka - "taking an axe to the frozen sea within us."muggle said:After reading your posts I checked it out. Please, what is so special about it. Does not appear to be my type of movie.

By the way, I agree, I'd never want to see it again. It's a brilliant, horrible movie.
