When talking about bad film, this was the first film that came to my mind. Not that American History X is a bad film by any means, but the subject matter of the neo nazi underground and some scenes of harsh violence caused controversy. The film is about two characters who are drawn to neo-nazism as their father is killed by a black drug dealer the story shows us how the one character is influenced by the others actions as they are brothers. It shows the influence people can play on each other. One extremely controversial scene in the film however is when Edward Norton's character Derek Vinyard makes a black man put his face on the pavement and he stamps on it braking the mans jaw and killing him. The scene shows very much the bleak harshness of the film and the brutal reality involved. Although this particular scene is not easy watching the film is a great piece of work.
