American History X

Hello everyone!!-

Today I'm going to talk you about my favorite movie! It's very complicated for me to choose only one! But among the movies of the Nazi ideology that I like; I think that the best is American History X. This is a North American film directed by Tony Kaye at 1998. The first time that I saw it, it marked me...for the cruelty and the willpower of the principal character's convictions, although I saw it when I was an adolescent with a right mind.



The film shows the story of Derek Vinyard (starring by Edward Norton :P), this guy is a Nazi for complete, and he lives in a racist neighborhood with an evident differentiation between people with black and white race. One day, in the evening, a black men try to steal his car and he, when he notice this, go out and shoot him, and the thief dies. Derek go to prison, and he left his brother with the legacy of hate, it surrounded by many situations of conflicts in the neighborhood. When Derek is in the jail, it changes his mentality for coexist with tolerance inside the prison, and he met many friendly people of other races, while the Nazi guys betrayed him...this is the beginning of the change.

When this men go out from the jail, he go to his home and he confront the situation that the people that before were his friends, now thinks very different to him, they believe in the racism, and Derek can't stand the brother's ideology. He tries to show the reality to his little brother and change his thinking, and he did it, but before that he can do anything, his brother dies in school...it fell into the hands of the enemy; a black gang, before that he could explain that he wasn't a racist now u.u (I cried so much in this part of the film...xD how a half hour after the end xD jakaj) I like this movie because I think that it's very dramatic, but with pure reality...I love it!! and I cry very much...that deserve my respects jaja furthermore, the film is starring by Edward Norton, I like this actor and his work!
