	American History X - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		American History X is a 1998 film directed by Tony Kaye and written by David McKenna.
		The title of American History X is derived from the name of a class Danny (Furlong) is forced to take after writing a controversial essay on Adolf Hitler's autobiography, Mein Kampf.
		American History X touches on such controversial topics as racism, affirmative action, illegal immigration, the continued existence of Neo-Nazi hate groups within American society, the exploitation of vulnerable youth of all races by gangs, intra- and inter-racial violence and other topics that still split American society.

	AMERICAN HISTORY X - DVD
		American History X arrived in theatres last November with little fanfare; I'm a tad surprised that New Line didn't capitalize on the controversial statements Kaye was making in the press.
		American History X eschews a traditional three act structure; remarkably, despite post-production jiggering by everyone and his mailman, the film is not only coherent but also, for the most part, electrifyingly told.
		American History X is likely to leave audience members bobbing their heads in agreement rather than inciting anger, as so many similarly-themed movies have.

		American History X is the immensely powerful look at racism and its effects on a family.
		American History X was a film that was a sign for people of the world to see.
		American History X is an astonishing movie, and really surprised me as to how deep and thought provoking this film is. This is a perfect example of a film that you can watch with a bunch of movie goers and non movie goers alike and can have a long, smart conversation afterwards.

	DVD Review - American History X (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		"American History X" tells the story of Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton), a hate-filled skinhead from Venice Beach, California, who lives in a world of white supremacists.
		They are skillfully contrasted with the present-day scenes that feature a fairly broad color-scheme, ranging from the American flag (which can be found in the background of a remarkably number of shots), to a room painted pastel pink.
		"American History X" is a drama, driven mostly by dialogue, and as a result, the 5.1 channel Dolby Digital sound mix is rarely very active, but absolutely adequate for this sort of film.

	Review: American History X (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		American History X is in no way a comprehensive look at racism, hatred, or inner city violence.
		The chief weakness in American History X is that we're presented with only one truly three-dimensional character.
		Kaye imbues American History X with a relentlessly ominous tone, especially during the final half hour, when we're expecting something grim to occur.

	American History X. A Hollywood Jesus Film Review
		While American History X was made with a no-holds-barred look at the very real underbelly of racism, this is not a film about skinheads or white power.
		The film crew on American History X have done a brilliant job with the story and also the visual symbolism (for instance the Black and White nature of the flashbacks reflecting Derek's racial view of the world).
		Americans stopped the killing of Indians on their own because they felt it was wrong, but it took WW2 to stop the Nazis from killing 6 million Jews, and 5 million others: Catholics, Christians, the mentally ill, homosexuals, political dissenters and so on.

		Fortunately American History X, which deals with the story of two Neo-Nazi brothers as one questions his convictions, is an exceptional film.
		But American History X is, strangely, a captivating film, one which leaves you with a bizzare feeling somewhere between nausea and an adrenaline rush.
		American History X is the title of an assignment given by teacher Dr. Sweeney to Danny, the younger brother of Derek Vinyard, the former leader of a white, racist, skinhead gang.

		American History X is a powerful film directed by Tony Kaye, and starring Edward Norton (Fight Club), Edward Furlong (Terminator 2: Judgement Day), and Beverly D'Angelo (National Lampoon's Vacation).
		His ideals are all about ridding their society and ultimately the country from all the immigrants and minority groups who as he believes have infested the good white culture with poverty and struggle in 'their' own land.
		American History X is a very intriguing movie about redemption, discussing some very delicate and serious issues that are infesting in American society on a daily basis.

	Film: American History X
		There are now two major controversies surrounding American History X, the meditation on Californian skinhead youth by director Tony Kaye and starring Edward Norton and Edward Furlong.
		Thus the folks behind American History X make it awfully difficult to know exactly where to lay the blame for this, a trite, shallow and yes, fairly exploitative look at the mentality of racist youth.
		American History X feels like an after-school special with a bunch of very violent scenes, plenty of racial epithets and a swastika tattoo thrown in.

		American History X is the story of one man’s redemption in a world where you can’t dance with the devil and be left unscathed.
		In the case of American History X, the two protagonists are people who have been dealt a rough hand in life.
		In no way does this excuse the sins of the past, but Kaye knows that - and this unforgiving but sympathetic view on American society is why American History X succeeds in packing a powerful emotional punch when it goes in for the kill.

		Perhaps the highest compliment you can pay to Edward Norton is that his Oscar-nominated performance in American History X nearly convinces you that there is a shred of logic in the tenets of white supremacy.
		The message of American History X is pretty simple: racism is bad, and joining a neo-Nazi gang is not going to solve any of your problems - becoming an English Literature teacher or a film actor would be much more constructive.
		AMERICAN HISTORY X never fails to surprise, shock, display, terify or put forward a point that racism is wrong.

	SPLICEDwire: "American History X" review
		"American History X" might have seemed slightly contrived without a formidable, unsettling and ultimately sympathetic performance by Edward Norton, who stars as a reformed Neo-Nazi parolee trying to rescue his younger brother from the clutches of a White Power street gang.
		Norton, who made an indelible impression in his first film role as a murder suspect in "Primal Fear" and has yet to disappoint, is pensive and provoking in the movie's present and terrifying in its flashbacks of his gang days.
		But he admits when pressured by his principal (a perfectly-cast Avery Brooks, "Deep Space Nine"), who has taken a special interest in the boy, that living up to his brother's reputation is what drives his behavior.

		However, the basis of punk rock is anger at an unjust society, and definitely not hatred towards minorities.
		There is one area in which "American History X" succeeds very well.
		He begins working with passionate history professor (Avery Brooks) to save his intelligent, thoughtful younger brother Danny (Edward Furlong), who is far along the skinhead path.

	'American History X'
		"American History X" is the story of two brothers, Derek and Danny Vinyard (Norton and Edward Furlong) and their doomed involvement with a Venice, Calif., gang of racist toughs.
		As punishment, principal Sweeney (Avery Brooks) assigns Danny to write an essay on the impact of Derek's imprisonment for a one-on-one tutorial he is imposing called "American History X." That composition provides the voice-over narration for screenwriter David McKenna's increasingly intense and tragic story, which alternates between stylized fl-and-white flashbacks and current events in color.
		There are moments in "American History X" when Anne Dudley's string-laden score overpowers the stark simplicity of the film's message and other times when the moral of brotherly love is hammered a bit heavily.

	DVD & Movie Reviews: American History X
		Well, watch American History X and any teeny tiny portion of an idea that Edward Norton cannot be scary enough to play a mean, violent, neo-nazi are dashed away fairly quickly.
		The history on offer is following the cocky Norton through a murder charge, his jail sentence and eventual transformation in an effort to save his young brother Danny (Edward Furlong) from following the same self-defeating path.
		American History X is the tertiary-level Romper Stomper and is a highly charged examination of how hate can be disastrously dangerous.

	American History X
		Filmed in a combination of surrealistic monochrome and vibrant colour, American History X is a complete triumph of storytelling, a film which makes an indelible mark as you are watching it, and leaves you reeling as the curtain closes.
		Looking back on the early cinema releases of 1999, the score for American History X is right up there with Meet Joe Black, and Message In A Bottle as one of my favourites of the first quarter year (it was released in the UK in March).
		American History X is a mature, confident, affecting work which accompanies one of the best debut motion pictures for a long time, and should be enjoyed, appreciated and acclaimed.

		In one of the best movies of 1998, American History X has all the elements of a successful film: a tight screenplay, compelling direction, attention-worthy subject matter and vivid supporting performances.
		Thus we enter the meat of the film, as Danny composes his paper and tells the story, shown in fl and white flashbacks, of how Derek came to be the leader of the Venice Beach skinheads and wind up in prison for murder.
		American History X is distributed in Region 4 by Village Roadshow Pictures.

	American History X Movie Review by Anthony Leong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		"American History X" was already mired in controversy even before it was released, and it had nothing to do with the unfaltering look at a difficult subject matter.
		What some viewers may find most disquieting about "American History X" are not the images of the brutal savagery that Derek and his cronies inflict on their victims, but instead the racist rhetoric uttered by the characters.
		The ultra-right wing ideas upheld by the white supremacists are presented in an almost palatable manner, and in the absence of the images of swastikas and hate-filled violence, seem almost reasonable.

		After being re-exposed to the crap we pass off as history, A-Rod's article had me itching to defend Russia's collective honor with a resounding "u nas ne khuzhe." For once Russians' knee-jerk accusation of American hypocrisy is on-target.
		For the rest, however, history is taught using books steeped in class warfare and that end with florid descriptions of Brezhnev-era economic glory, which was the last time the state could afford luxuries like new books.
		In other words, they neglect to mention that we dropped 7 million tons of bombs, flew a sortie every 8 minutes for 10 years, and exterminated at least 10 percent of Laos' population, in spite of the fact that we were never even at undeclared war with that country's people.
