The only reason gal decided to watch AH-X was not that it’s a movie on racism or for her friend who raved about it, but for Edward Norton 
Edward Norton plays a racist skin-head. He forms a Neo-Nazi group in which he along with his group members do anything to channel their hatred.
One night, few black guys break into his car, whereby Norton executes them. He serves three years in jail.
In jail, he hangs around with a bunch of Neo-Nazi. Soon, he realizes that they are not a fundamentalist but uses Neo-Nazi as an excuse to indulge in violence. Hence he decides to stay clear from this group. Enraged by this, they sexually assault him. He gets psychological support from his black professor.
In the mean time, he would befriend a fellow black prisoner who serves 6 years for stealing a TV. His three years jail experience transforms him.
His younger brother Danny idolizes Norton and follows his footsteps of becoming a Neo-Nazi, shaves his head and joins the skinhead gang.
Today Norton gets release.
Upon Norton’s release his former group arranges a party for him. At the party, Norton warns the chief leader to keep away from his brother and hits him when he refuses. He also persuades his skin-head girl friend to leave the group. Other members’ hesitancy to accept a changed Norton turns into violence, which Norton barely escapes.
His brother too turns against him. That’s where Norton explains his jail experience to him and frees Danny’s mind. That night Danny completes his American History X assignment which talks on his brother’s influence on him. Norton now becomes the bread winner of the family and drops his brother at school the next day.
In the school toilet, Danny would be shot dead by a black student. The movie ends in a touchy note by Danny’s skinhead experience as “Hate is baggage. Life is too short to be pissed off. It’s not worth it.”
Though the movie might sound like not everyone’s cup of tea yet gal feels that it should be seen by everyone. It clearly shows that one’s future is not determined by chance or fate, but ultimately by the choices one makes.
Don’t miss the scene where the black prisoner narrates the love making
