I don’t know if you’ve seen American History X ever or recently but I own it and think it’s a great movie. It really shows how life can be in different areas of the country or even in your state but in a different setting. For example, living in the small town world I’m not used to gangs, criminals, or cops having to be at schools but that’s everyday life to some individuals. The movie also shows how horrendous hate can be, especially when it has no real basis besides something like skin color or ethnicity. It’s ridiculous, completely. I actually was watching it and made the comment that all history classes should watch it because it really is a film that can instill some deep emotion and it’s extremely powerful. Although it’d never happen because the vulgarity and sexuality in the movie would be too much to handle for teenagers.
