What is your opinion on the movie American History X?
A semi-entertaining movie, of course if you are a skinhead with a beer belly and a ss patch on your arm, you will hate it! It was directed by a jew.
The message I derive from it is that no matter what your views are on life/politics/spirituality, you cannot be an angry pissed off fuck all the time. It will consume you.

What he said ^^.
Well, that's the truth. I'd have liked the movie much more if the lead character just took
his ideals to a new level instead of abandoning 'em... meaning, if he stopped being a constantly pissed-off ..err.. man, and started actually doing something ...efficient.
That was insane when he curb-stomped that bandit!
Not that great. I admired it when I was younger, but the Hollywood imagry of a European-American National is not too great. Forget National even a skinhead. The movie states so many cruddy facts like I hear Norton say in the movie "White-European-American" <- WTF and skinheads are all WASPS. That is the Klan's "former idealogy or dare I say canceled out Klan(sine you cannot change your credo and still be called the same thing. they changed too many rules.lol). Movements are lame. One political party for America!!!
The movie is okay. The first part of the movie is fine, but later on it becomes bullshit. The story doesnt really make sense. A intelligent racially aware person becomes a multiculti supporting loser, just be cause some negro in jail said jokes to him and helped him a little bit. I dont think that could happen at all.
But this movie makes many people think. People who perhaps didnt think about racism before. I think that is a good thing. To many the skinheads look really cool, and it makes them want to join a skinhead movement. Skinheads are of course not doing anything really. But many can evolve from that.

From an ultimate dim Thule —
From a wild weird clime, that lieth, sublime,
Out of SPACE — out of TIME."
Edgar Allan Poe
I agree that this movie might have helped that a bit,Originally Posted by TII
but, in my experience, nothing like that happens.
I know skinheads who have college degrees, but
when you sum it all up, their activity is purely related to
wearing skinhead clothes.
There are some more 'radical' skinheads who
are poorly educated, and they only harm any nationalism,
and their 'achievments' in the last few years were:
1. Killing a 13-yr old Gypsy boy who was carrying groceries. Which turned the public against Skinheads.
2. Beating up some homos at their political meeting. ( and also stealing some computer equipment from their offices ).
3. Earlier this year, they also managed to demolish some stores which belong to people of the Goranci ethnicity ( a people from Kosovo who have traditionally been loyal to Serbs ).
I knew a mentally handicapped skinhead who did this to some Turk years before American History X came to the cinemas and established that fashion. He was sent to a correction school because of this and nowadays works as a garbage man...Originally Posted by The Blond Beast
Tolerance is a proof of distrust in one's own ideals. Friedrich Nietzsche
The first part of the movie is nice, and the audience is presented with many arguments in favour of racialism/separatism. In the second part, the "hero" discovers that some skinheads and racists are bad people (oh the horror!!!!), but no arguments against racialism are really ever presented.
Also the end, where the hero's brother is killed by a black for a very slight insult, speaks volumes against integration and the belief that racial animosity is something uncommon or unnatural.
The Jew who made the film either was a little too greedy, or had a soft spot for White Racists methinks. It has probably been one of the major propaganda movies for racism and skinhead culture.
