AMERICAN HISTORY X
American History X is a reflection of hatred and racism in the united states. Kaye is a boy who lost his father and is disappointed by the "injustices" around him, who channels the anger at the world in the "politics" of a hate group, where he believes he will find strength and security. The strong point of American history X are just the flashbacks, from which the viewer can learn the causes of the fate of Derek. In reviewing the facts that have imprisoned his brother, Danny stroll down memory lane to find the "root of all evil." But it is precisely that Derek, revealing the violence in the prison by members of the Aryan Brotherhood, explains how the hatred for everything and everyone had blinded him. The explanation of what happened to him, Derek does not want to say to his brother what to do or not do, in that moment the only thing that matters for the former skinhead is that Danny understands that sooner or later in life everything is paid for, and the tragic ending confirms this. American History X is not only an analysis of the phenomenon of neo-fascist skinheads, but also a condemnation of racial prejudice, an issue much discussed in the United States. The film is made even more "poetic" an accurate picture and a script that perfectly expresses the theme narrated.
