X
Last night I saw the movie American History X. Rock. It was powerful, beautiful, and grotesque. It is about hate, and how it accomplishes nothing. I am tempted to insert a sweet hippy statement here, but I relent. Nevertheless it is a beautiful portrait of how broke we are, but how we all realize evil corrupts, and satisfies only for a time, but in the end is left wanting. 2 enthusiastic thumbs up. Also sweet: Lord of War. Saw it last week. It is another portrait of how broke we are as humans, and how we are in need of rescue.

I've only been told about some parts of American History X and I don't know if I could even sit through it. Do you think the grotesque and graphic parts were necessary to make the point? Just curious.
I think all of the graphic stuff was entirely necessary. It enhances the plot, it is tough to stomach though.
