so, I searched and couldn't find a thread about this...so sorry mods if there's one about this that escaped my searching and please lock at will.
with that said!
I love this movie...however, I can't watch it that much. I mean...I can watch it and then I'll have to wait a few months or something before I can do it again.
The directing and cinematography were amazing....the acting was great. It's hard seeing Ed Norton as this buff ass skin head, but he plays it well!
what do you guys think?

I felt it was fairly good: it showed the effects of bigotry on everyone else very well IMO. It also showed how people can get caught up with those sorts of beliefs, like Romper Stomper.

I winced at the "BITE THE CURB MOTHERFUCKER!" scene though.

I love that movie!!! I tear up whenever it shows the part where Ed Norton makes that guy "eat the curb".... plus I've always had a little thing for Edward Furlong... ever since Terminator 2...

Exremely powerful movie. But, like you, it's one of those movies that I can only watch once in a long while. It's so intense and sometimes I hate to be reminded of how horrible people can actually be. This film was the one that made me a fan of Norton.

Edward Furlong was great in it, too, as well as the supporting cast.

yes edward furlong deserves to be recognized for his work in this movie too..he was amazing...and yes, the eat the curb scene is so...powerful. me, mike (sheep), and peter (evboarder before my time) watched it last weekend because sheep bought it on dvd...anyways, mike said that the first time he saw it that scene made him throw up..but he also said he was already sick at the time..heh.

yes really great movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

plus the guys are extremely HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't watch the infamous curb scene.

It's a very good movie. Edward Norton is an amazing actor. That little kiddo from Terminator didn't do too poorly either.

It is a hard movie to watch though. I don't think I've watched it many times in comparison to most movies that I own. It's kind of emotionally draining to watch.

I love this movie! Don't watch it all too often either.
If my memory isn't leaky, it was the first DVD I imported, cause I couldn't find it here in Denmark.

It's a good film, imo. Sad ending though :(

I really like Ed Norton, he's such a good actor.

yeh i gotta get this on dvd..its one of those that you dont really care how much it costs you just gotta get it...like..tombstone..or...happy gilmore. hahahah
m

Loved the movie, but it's very intense and powerful to watch.

It's an awesome movie..
I remember crying the first time I watched it..

Proudly own the DVD, and i never thought about it until now, but you guys are right, it is a really intense movie that you can on watch a couple of times. Its so powerful. i clinch everytime ive seen the curb scence.. i think that actually why i bought the movie to see that famous scene

i loved the movie but i agree on waiting a while to watch it again... but ive seen it heaps and love it

I loved it. This movie was impressive and slightly shoking. I surely won't watch it soon.. But it's engraved in my mind for long.

The curb is scene is why this movie became instantly famous IMO, but that's not all there is to the movie. The power and the realness that it represents is really "beautifull", if any of my friends go like "I HATE NIGGERS!"(no offense to people here, if you are offended I'll removie the world) I make them watch the movie just to know that you COULD become Edward.

*Owns The DVD* its a really really really awesome movie. Im watching it right now actually cause im bored and theres nothin on since schools and that i didnt go to summer school and all.

I loved this movie... Except the end. I felt it just kinda - stopped. I don't really know what I was expecting, but it didn't happen.

The movie on the whole is a brilliantly presented essay on modern bigotry. I advise you watch it if you haven't.

Plus, it's got Edward Norton in it - and he's a genius.

It's an awesome movie..
I remember crying the first time I watched it..
i had the same thing
i was so shocked that (hope i'm not spoiling anything for others now) Edward Furlong died in the end, i didn't saw it coming and i started to cry

one of the best movies i ever saw
still i turn my head away and try to cover my ears when Edward Norton cracks that guy's skull *shivers*

Yeah, that when I cried the most..

=| I always do that as well.. It's freaking impossible to watch to me =|

I think the part that got to me most was when they were in the grocery store ripping it apart. They were pouring milk on the hispanic cashier.. yeah.. that part disturbs me.

Dude, the whole movie disturbed me!

But I loved it.
I only seen it once and when it first came out..so it's been awhile.
It was pretty brutal with all the racism shit.

Plus, it's got Edward Norton in it - and he's a genius.

AMEN Brother Head!
Edward Norton is a brilliant actor. I love him, he is great.
He is equally awesome in the movie, The Score, with Robert De Niro.

awesome movie. directed very well. ed norton kicked total ass in it. totally buff too, very impressed. all the actors in it were really good though not just ed. ill checku later
heather

Probably one of the most disturbing, powerful and important movies I've seen in a long time.

I couldn't agree more with what everyone else has previously said about Edward Norton. He is one of the best actors of his generation. He's brilliant in any role he plays.

Reminds me a little bit of Amistad(a great movie), except on a larger scope. Speaking of movies that are difficult to watch, if you want to see a movie that will make you want to never do drugs, watch "Requiem for a Dream."
"21 Grams" is also a deeply emotional movie thats difficult to watch, but well worth it.

yeah ed norton kicks ass...and it was weird at first to see him so buff...i almost didn't realize it was him. lol. usually he's just a big skinny geek guy. lmao
m

usually he's just a big skinny geek guy. lmao

Haha..this is true. He must've been doubling up on his Wheaties or something :P

I love that love, but like you said, it's not really the type you can watch over and over again. I love Schindler's List as well, and I was tempted to buy in on DVD but I don't think i could watch that on over and over again either.

ive never seen schiendlers list, and i dont think ill be able to watch it for a very long time...i have, however, played the theme to it in my orchestra! very beautiful piece indeed.
:)

You don't want to see it, or you can't? :)

I can't bare to watch it. I know the story, and I know what happens. Kind of like...Braveheart...my teacher loves Mel Gibson to death but she'll never watch Braveheart past a certain point because she knows the story and that he's gonna die soon. I know what happens in that movie and I wouldn't be able to hold together if I saw it.
on another note.. I totally agree with Noose about the super market scene...that made me so disgusted and ashamed for whatever reason. I actually know the area where the filmed all of this..the boardwalk especially.

Yeah, that's like Moulin Rouge. Sometimes I stop watching it before Satine dies. :D ;)

lol. well i can watch moulin rouge. im the dork that still listens to the soundtrack. but i do get sad when she dies!

Don't get me started on Braveheart, chum!!

William Wallace was not an enthusiastic Australian dwarf, he didn't paint himself like a Chelsea supporter and the Princess the film would have you believe he impregnated was only 7 at the time he died.

Patrick McGoohan was good, though. :)

yes really great movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

plus the guys are extremely HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And there's the real reason you should watch it, or any movie.

if any of my friends go like "I HATE NIGGERS!".

How often does this happen?

(no offense to people here, if you are offended I'll removie the world)

Since you apparently can, do everyone a favor and just remove the world anyway.

ed norton kicked total ass in it. totally buff too, very impressed.

Haha, he gained like 25 pounds but he still only looks buff from the front. When you see him turned to the side you can see he's still the same skinny white geek he's always been.

I couldn't agree more with what everyone else has previously said about Edward Norton. He is one of the best actors of his generation. He's brilliant in any role he plays.

Word up, mothafucka. I love every movie I have seen him in (Primal Fear (!), The People vs. Larry Flynt, American History X, Fight Club), He's always great, even when he's not playing a "serious" role (see: The Italian Job, Rounders).

lmfao...leave it to sheep to points out that world typo. and..HELL YEAH fight club PWNS. The Italian Job wasn't half bad, either!!!
m

How often does this happen?


Hmm sometimes, but they get instant rehab by watching AHX ;).

For Mister Norton, yeah he kicks ass Fight Club was really great. I still have the dvd... somewhere..

About the world, TYPO!!!!!!!!!!! should had been word :p

I think the only one of his movies I haven't seen yet is Rounders. Primal Fear was the first time I saw him in a movie. He really stole the whole movie with his performance.

Have you seen "Keeping the Faith"? He directed that as well. Good stuff. He and Ben Stiller play a priest and a Rabbi. Very funny =)

No, but it's one to look out for, I reckon.

Good to see you again, Mike. :)

i didn't do it

keeping the faith was on tv a few weeks ago
i loved it,
but then again, i'm a bit of adahrma & greg fan

Yeh Jenna Elfman was quite funny in it as well... I liked that TV show too ;P

American History X is a great movie. We watched it at school recently. It's pretty disturbing and hard to watch but sometimes those are the best movies to watch, you know?

As for the curb scene, I actually didn't watch that because the person sitting next to me had heard about it and she turned away, so I turned away too.

I didn't expect Danny to die in the end either, but I suppose it was a pretty fitting ending, it shows that hate is like a disease that infects everyone.

i just watched this last night, so i had to bring it back from the dead.

every time i watch this im moved to tears. i guess im a sap or something lol.

one of my absolute top 10 movies, but I have to leave the room or fast forward the sidewalk scene...no matter who is with me. My brother on the other hand will watch that scene with eyes glued to the tv...go figure

yeah i hate that part too
mostly i just look away from the tv and try not to pay attention to that skull cracking sound

This is such a great film, and one of the msot shocking I have seen. Yeah, the curb and the shower scenes are both not nice lol.

The main character's girlfriend rocks.

Romper Stomer is also a great film that has some simularities.

Incase people have not watched it: *highlight*

The ending where he gets shot in the bathroom has to be one of the most shocking endings I have seen, took me a-back. I felt so sorry for the main character (I have forgotten the names, I have not seen it for two years.

Should be a must see for any racist IMO.

man this movie shocked me alot too, but if you want a movie that will stay in your mind for the rest of your life... take a look to "Irreversible" its french and excellent. I'm pretty sure you can get a copy with english subtitle.

and the rape scene is on youtube.com
the most disgusting thing ever.

Should be a must see for any racist IMO.


if someone has that paticular mindset.....i don't think that a movie is going to change it completely. but it's a good movie to see for anyone, no matter their opinions.

take a look to Romper Stomper!
it's also a must see

really believable and similar to AHX

Codger already mentioned that last page.

who's in it? when was it made?

Codger is a God haha..

It's an 1992 movie, Russell Crowe is in it this is why I find weird we don't here much about it? I was a bit suprised when I saw his name lol.

Noname director though..

hmmms ill have to see if i can find it at the video store to rent.
what's it about?

Plotline: A group of skinheads become alarmed at the way their neighbourhood is changing.

so yeah, its rated NC-17, R for the cut version... lot of violence and sex scenes..

I cant say more man

Shocking ending, if this movie had been not releasen in 1998 and perhaps in the present Edward Norton could have won the Oscar for best actor but Roberto Benigni won that year.Anyway the way he saw how foolish his hate was and tried to help his brother. Good film.

yeah, i really wish norton would have won for that role. he was amazing.

I will resume this in a few words:
One Of The Best movies Ever.

In number 4 in my top 10
