Living a life marked by violence and racism, neo-Nazi Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) finally goes to prison after killing two black youths who tried to steal his car. Upon his release, Derek vows to change his ways; he hopes to prevent his younger brother, Danny (Edward Furlong), who idolizes Derek, from following in his footsteps. As he struggles with his own deeply ingrained prejudices and watches their mother grow sicker, Derek wonders if his family can overcome a lifetime of hate.
Well when Nathan says he has a Tragedy genre film for us, he doesn't fail. Today we tackle 1998's "American History X" and we all agree that it's a very well done movie... but damn is it heavy. However, even the weight of the subject matter, doesn't overshadow the performances of Edward Norton and Edward Furlong. Heck, we even get to say hi to Avery Brooks, best known as Captain Benjamin Sisko from Star Trek DS9! We hope you're all ready folks! Let's go!
We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday we'll bring you a new movie with all the feels you can handle. We'll laugh, we'll cry and possibly restrain the frustrations to curse the heavens. But what you can count on is three guys sharing their love of cinema with you.
Please leave us a review and share your "reel" feelings.
Don't forget to call the "Tucc" line (Reel Feels Hotline) and leave us a voicemail: 661-376-0030
