American History X. (Spoiler)
 
Best movie evar.

/win.

Anyone else bawl like I did at the end?

I was seriously crying so hard T_T

Yosei 05-09-2008 03:32 PM

I didn't cry, but yeah, its a pretty good movie. I don't like beginning though D: I couldn't look at the screen when he was beating up the dude that was about to break into his house.

booyah8876 05-09-2008 03:49 PM

Yeah I like the whole movie... it's just intense.

It was... so... epic.

Although the curb stomp was a little...

just to see the look in his brother's eyes while he did it.

gah

Yosei 05-09-2008 04:05 PM

I couldn't watch that scene D:

booyah8876 05-09-2008 04:24 PM

I watched it like 15 times...

and when he was able to take a shower alone now he's out of jail...

then he sees the Swastika on his breast... and he can't change it...

was such a good film xD

One of my all-time favorite films. Powerful. The curb stomp scene was pretty wicked, but it was necessary to really drive home just how out of control he was at that point. I thought it was a good scene for that reason.

Yosei 05-09-2008 08:00 PM

I think they chose the right actors for the movie.

A_Forever 05-09-2008 08:20 PM

Never heard of it.

Yosei 05-09-2008 10:09 PM

Its about a "skin head" gang leader.

booyah8876 05-09-2008 10:12 PM

'twas amazing o.o'

Not for the feint of heart.

Really.

SnowStorm 05-09-2008 10:18 PM

This movie seems really.....violent am i right? whats it about i have NEVER heard of this movie were does it play?

booyah8876 05-10-2008 03:29 AM

I don'T think it plays anywhere... you gotta go find it.

Extreme violence/rape/murder...

it's gang vs. gang film

:3

Yosei 05-10-2008 03:32 AM

Well, race vs. gang D: But it turns out good in the end, kind of.

Pritcher 05-10-2008 03:43 AM

It's an older movie ('98) so yeah, not really playing anywhere anymore. Could rent it though and I've seen it on one of the movie channels again recently, HBO or Starz I think.

Yeah, I think that's still probably Edward Norton's best movie. Well, maybe tied with Fight Club.

Yes!

He totally got over the whole white supremacy... and then gets his brother out too!!

And then BOOM.

and his conclusion at the end of the paper?!

SUCH a good ending xD

Yosei 05-10-2008 05:48 AM

I used to feel bad for liking it lol.

What? Why?

Yosei 05-10-2008 05:59 AM

Well, I don't now. But it was stupid, 3/4 of the movie is all racist and violence towards a certain race. Made me feel bad for liking the movie. But I don't care anymore, it shows that even the most seemingly lost and helpless person can change, and like the boy said at the end, life is too short to always be pissed off.

Pritcher 05-10-2008 06:10 AM

Yeah, but it's not like it was advocating their actions. The overall message was quite the opposite I think. I also just thought it was cool at the time because it openly addressed very serious issues that people didn't (and still don't) like to talk about.

Yes!

They dared to be contraversial!

it was fantastic ;)

Hyper 05-10-2008 07:02 AM

You know the movie is intense just from the X in the title.

Like some random blond guy with a mullet yelling "X-TREMMMMMMEE~!". Epic.
