Review of American History X (1998) by Karl-Oskar — 07 Apr 2020

This film is not exactly reflecting the time or place I live in but it doesn't matter because the film explains it very clear. The film is a very interesting story about the trouble of the American society, which is of course very sad and unfortunately but is an important concern. The film's character, Derek, is a very well constructed character, and at least I can sort of understand his opinion and thoughts through the film, and while his opinion changes, mine starts to shift too and I start thinking my self, its a cool happening, with lack of a better word, and caught me off guard.

The film is very well done and doesn't have many bad scenes, I think the characters and their personality is fantastically done and acted, they were super realistic. This film has some really tough, powerful, violent scenes which I as a teenager liked, but It also had some emotional and sentimental scenes which I also really liked. I feel like both of these elements were very important elements for the film.

American History X got allot of wise life advice and really left you thinking, and that's how you know that it's a good movie.
