So ruthless and harmonious

In fact, the film tells of social needs "harmony" the story of

watching the film
immediately made me think
"This is England"

If we say "This is England"
is to show skinhead from the front
to express the turmoil of life of the community is not An Ding,

then "American History X"
shows skinhead on the side,
saying "Don't do meaningless things"
because in the end it will not change your life

"We are not enemies, but friends.
We must not be enemies.
Though passion may have strained
it must not break our bonds of affection.
The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land,
will yet swell the chorus of the Union,
when again touched, as surely they will be,
by the better angels of our nature."

Mr. Lincoln is actually the most foresighted person
It’s no wonder that Danny quoted his speech as the end of the paper at the end of the film.

    There is an id and a superego in our thoughts. The id is our desire, our true face. The superego is our rationality, what we use to restrain our desires. Under the control of the id, we are all beasts, and the superego makes us suppress ourselves and become good people.

    A movie like this about racial discrimination in the United States, is it very enjoyable after watching it? Whether it is its violence, its narrative style, and its discussion of racial discrimination in the United States, it makes this film a masterpiece. No When talking about racial discrimination in the United States, I only talk about movies. The film narrative method is also unique. It has always been two lines interspersed to tell us how Derek became a member of neo-Nazism, and then became the core, then went to prison to experience it first, and then quit. Organize and regain the attitude of racial equality in the new life. Although everyone wants the movie to be perfect here, the cruel reality wakes us up. The film ends in Derek hugging his brother's bloody body... This is a reincarnation, Derek's father instilled racist views into Derek

American History X quotes

  • Bob Sweeney: [arguing with Danny Vinyard about his "Mein Kampf" paper] I think the street would kill you. Your rhetoric and your propaganda aren't gonna save you out there.

  • Curtis: [offscreen, to another skinhead] Hey man, want a toke?

    Derek Vinyard: Curtis, what are you doing? Weed is for niggers. You put that away right now. Have a little self respect.
