I mean, it doesn't sound like you're critiquing the movie it self, but rather that you don't like how racist/ignorant people responded to the movie, which is unavoidable given the plot
This movie was amazing
I think the title to your second list of bullet points shouldn't be "why it's overrated", but rather, "Why this movie should have never been made"
Completely ignoring the fact that 99% of people that watched this movie did not react as you described. Most were disgusted at the hate they saw, they didn't use the movie as an excuse to promote hate
so.. AHX promoted hate?
what about schindler's list?
American History X got an 83% TomatoMeter and 96% audience score.
Guess I need to see it because those are really high ratings. It had better not be overrated.
Audience score > Critics
huh?
I see a theme, [MENTION=682]Sprayin[/MENTION] just hates Edward Furlong
n20gt, i should have quoted. just sayin those neo nazi **** that loved AHX for the hatred. nobody ever talks like that about Schindlers list
I'll admit that I thought of this one due to last weeks topic of T2.
I would agree he's a TERRIBLE actor
Audience score > Critics
Really bad. Totally forgettable in both this and T2.
What’s Great:
- Amazing character arc for Ed Norton
- Black and white cinematography for scenes in the past
- Top notch acting from Ed Norton
- Extremely well written story
Why it’s overrated:
- The entire black and white scenes, taken out of context from the rest of the movie, is like porn for overtly racist people that love slinging the N bomb and the throwing digs at Jews. The story is actually about a guy who was brainwashed into an absolutely ridiculous ideology. The rest of the story shows his pathway to the light and how he learns that it’s all bullshit. In the end, due to his blind devotion to that ideology, it cost the life of his younger brother. There is a legitimate meaning in the movie, and its completely and totally lost on most.
- Curb-stomp scene is the most played out and overused example of someone trying to be a badass
- Primary source material for a TON of the racist jokes that I heard for years
- Made it cool to get a swastika tattoo on your chest
I would agree he's a TERRIBLE actor
