American History X (1998) Crime Film/
Coming of Age 10/10
Another one of my favourite movies
ever. This film says so much and in today's political climate in the
United States it's even more relevant. Places divided by race,
colours being more prominent then ever before. Everything on the
colour scale from the white end of the spectrum to the black and all
the rainbow in between. This is definitely a 'think piece' (to quote
the movie Almost Famous) but it's a piece that grabs your heart and
ties it in knots and even turns it into a pretzel. I'm not going to
divulge the ending of the film but it rips my heart out every time
and even gets me tearing up, it's that powerful. This movie will
forever get a 10/10 in my books and it's definitely in my list of
favourites. It makes me think about the past, present and future. “Be
the change you want to see in the world” a wise person once said.
