American
History X, a film starring Edward Norton and Edward Furlong, is more
than just a movie about racism and white supremacy. This film is
powerful and realistic, and it's not just because it shows the
brutality of hate crimes. What really drives home the theme of the
film are the positive aspects of it. Three of these aspects are
redemption, brotherly love, and loyality. They prove, with
exceptional strength, to be American History X's true driving forces.
