"American History X is a interesting little movie about how white men are very comfortable about being severely Racist and how that looks in the modern era. Racism is the most Nonsensical though pattern a person can have and it’s played out in this movie and I think that’s what I like about it..just the Senseless violence and hatred and for what??? Being white?? Okay. 🥱🙄 anywho good movie!"

"Very brutal movie, but nonetheless I really enjoyed it. It’s about a man whose action ruin his life and even others lives. But he eventually learns to become better.I liked seeing this such rage in the dialogue and also extreme of some people I’ve never seen much before. I would have more to say but don’t really have any words for it. It’s a film thats message isn’t just given to simply."
