American History X tells the story of Derek Vinyard, brilliantly played by Edward Norton. Derek is an active neo-Nazi skinhead and became one after the death of his police officer father. Derek is sent to prison where he realizes how wrong he has been. However, he returns home to discover that, in his absence, his younger brother Danny has followed closely in his racist footsteps. Derek works to help his brother see the error of his ways and the movie ends with one of the most shocking twists in recent cinema. |
