I liked the movie American History X. But I thought the ending was so fucking lame. Pisses me off that the Danny died at the end. The movie is trying to portray this message about modern racism and how it sucks and shit, and just when the young skinhead discovers that all this Nazi shit is bullshit and decides to change his life with the help of his older brother, he gets killed by the black kid that he pissed off.
So you got this movie about racism that tries to tell you that it’s wrong and everything, and that stereotypes don’t mean dick, yet the end is some black guys smoking dope in a car, listening to rap then and shooting someone. I just couldn’t believe it. They end the movie tragically with a stupid ass portrayal of black youth. It’s like, at that point, the movie let me down.
Or maybe I just didn’t understand anything, flaming welcome. :) So white nazi kids can reform, but black gangbangers can’t? Doesn’t that black kid have a story? I understand that movie aimed at what truly goes on with this kind of stuff…but if it was accurate, the black guys would have NEVER lost a basketball game to a buncha neo nazis haha.
