AMERICAN HISTORY X MY ESSAY AMERICAN HISTO RY X Is too hard to stop us for a second of the routine that we have day per day and start to think and see our environment. Sometimes we find it tedious think a lot. Think about things we know that we know, but we don’t want to recognize. We don’t want to fix the puzzle’s pieces that we know too good. This movie complies the principal objective to tell a story, but in addition to has the sufficient energy to make us stop one second of our automatic world and reflect. I would like to have the objectivity to limit my thoughts in historic antecedents, statistics and empty numbers about the social issues related in American History X, but I can’t stop me to remember if; we are what we are because we were inculcated to be it, or we believe to be sufficient frees for choose it? Maybe both. The crude way in which it shows us the two faces of racist North American problem is exceptional. The hate, the shortcomings and the necessity to be or not to be moves the black and white young people to commit mistakes of which to rectify don’t give them any consolation. Finally, both faces, too strangers and contradictories to first sight are the same: the necessity to find an answer to the pain and loneliness, with violence and hate. Search guilty of own shortcomings between the stranger people to us, because of our belief until color skin. Beyond of that cover of violence there are the pieces of a confuse young, frustrated and empty. Don’t matters if they are black or white. Everyone search to be accepted, following wrong ways. The racism in United States is deeper that we wanted to confess, and this movie don’t give us magical solutions. Only shows the consequences. Therefore, we need to stop us one second and see around, and ask ourselves if there is a little bit of us in these characters. Can we make a difference? Can we fight against own demons?
