Too bad half of the movie was in black and white :|i-like-pie

i actually think the black and white was highly original to the purpose of highlighting the main events in the movie and the general storyline

It could've been WAY better. They should've cast someone else in Edward Norton's place, at least for the second half. The focus on the relationship with his little brother didn't really draw me in that much, largely because I hate my little brother.


This Is England > American History X, in any case.

:lol: True. Norton is awesome. He's got talent, looks, and a down-to-Earth feeling about him. American History X was also amazing.

His racist BS spewing father was shot by an African American drug dealer while he was heroically fighting a fire.

How much more explanation do you need....

Anyways, I thought it was a good movie. not masterpiece to watch repeatedly as the ending led me to believe they were actually kind of condoning racist behavior in a way, but, its a good film nonetheless.

I dont think so, I also think the cursing was forced. I also think that the movie used the "Ill talk to you later" trick way too much.

There were only a few good actors in that movie, and they did really good. However, their are some really bad parts to that movie in terms of acting and directing.

the line at the end about hate being baggage and life being too short to be pi$$ed of all the time was especially deep.
