I want to say first of all, that I am so pleased that I have never had to experience such violent acts such as racism. "American History X" this movie left me with mixed emotions, to me, it wasn't a movie for entertainment purposes but a movie that gave a strong influential message.
I remember watching part of American History X about two years ago. The only part of this movie I saw was when the skinhead was sent to jail for killing a black man. American history X is a movie based on racism. The main character of the movie is Edward Norton. He plays a role of Derek Vinyard. He has a younger brother names Danny. The movie shows how blacks and white and other cultures don't get along. In the movie there are lots of sad scenes of racial violence of black and white. Skinhead thugs robbing and terrorizing a Korean owned grocery stores.
