Review of American History X (1998) by Ankur B — 28 Jul 2014
Edward Norton is the metaphorical fulcrum that holds American History X in the balance. His raw, electrifying performance creates the center of attention for this brutally riveting character study of a man who is attempting to revive his family's life from a horrifying past.
Edward Furlong more than holds his own and delivers a great performance as the young delinquent. American History X explores the nature and consequences that racism can have on a family and a community, and makes us question our everyday moral obligations towards society.
David McKenna's script if full of terrific dialogue and memorable quotes that will certainly connect with various members of the audience. Tony Kaye's smart, intuitive direction fully depicts the background of America's culturally dignified but diverse society.
Along with it's thought-provoking themes, American History X cements itself as an unforgettable, unconventional masterpiece.
