Some USA History
02:06 Saturday 24 Nov 07
So… continuing in my series of “Films I didn’t see until the DVD was less than a fiver (but not because I’m cheap just that I don’t get around to watching them that often)” we now have American History X.
Superb. I couldn’t shake the T2/John Connor connection throughout but an excellent film. I would have liked it to have been longer. I think some more could have been made/seen about Cameron, some neighbourhood history maybe. And the period following release was quick, covered a lot of ground in only a few hours but deeper it could have gone. But it kept my attention throughout which is no mean feat.
And I didn’t see that ending. I know I should have done and it left me wanting to know what then happened, which ways were turned. Very good film indeed.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Ed Norton is such a great actor.

I’m with Shep, it’s in my top 2 or 3 films ever. So powerful.

I love love LOVE this film and never tire of watching it – shocks me to the core every time. However, I have not yet been able to watch the “kerb scene” without hiding behind a cushion and feeling physically sick, although I suppose that was the intention really…

The delay for me watching it again will tell how much I actually do rate it. Right now it’s close to top 10 but no higher.
Jayne – it takes quite something to make me wince, but that scene really did it for me. Gruesome.
