Oof.  The theme of American History X is a very important one.  And probably more poignant today than ever before.  But it's a tough watch, similar to Requiem for a Dream or Trainspotting, but about racism instead of drugs.

So that's a 5 for me since I'll likely never watch it again.  But it is an impacting movie and I'd recommend everyone watch it once.

9. Haven’t watched it in a while but everyone should definitely watch it once.

Definitely a good movie, and easy to recommend, but it's one of those movies that I'll probably never watch again.

Is American history x John Connor parallel dimension?

[docile tapeworm | 4,203]

There is another similar movie “this is England”

It's interesting how the themes transfer.

Voted 7, was probably a 9 for me when it came out but wasn’t as enthralled with a recent rewatch.

Ed Norton is so charismatic and persuasive as a neo-Nazi that I wonder how much of a negative influence the first part of the movie is. Those concerns aside, it's a 7 or 8. Needs a rewatch.
