American History X
剧情
The film opens with the funeral of Cameron Alexander, a white supremacist who had led a gang of young skinheads known as the "Derek Vinyard Gang." The story is told through the perspective of Danny Vineyard, Derek's younger brother. As we learn about Derek's life before prison, we see him as a charismatic and intelligent individual who is deeply troubled by the racial tensions around him. He becomes increasingly radicalized, seeking answers to his own identity and purpose in the world. Derek becomes involved with the white supremacist movement and begins to adopt its ideology, much to the dismay of his brother Danny. Derek's involvement with the movement escalates, and he soon finds himself at the center of a hate crime involving the murder of two African-American men. This event leads to Derek's arrest and subsequent imprisonment for three years. Throughout the film, we see flashbacks of Derek's life before prison, as well as his experiences during his time behind bars. We also learn about Danny's struggles to deal with the consequences of his brother's actions and his own feelings of guilt and shame. As Derek approaches his release from prison, he begins to undergo a transformation, realizing the error of his ways and seeking redemption for his past mistakes. The film ends with Derek returning home, determined to make amends for his wrongdoings and find a new path forward.

American History X是一个令人难以置信的反思电影，它展现了种族主义和暴力的黑暗时代。电影讲述了Derek Vineyard（Edward Norton饰）的转变，从一个极端的白人至上主义者到一个寻求赎罪的人。通过对他的兄弟Danny叙述，影片揭露了Derek过去的激进信仰，而他的所作所为和经历在监狱期间发生了巨大的转变，展现了人性的复杂性和价值观的转变。

"American History X" 是一部充满力量和省思的电影，讲述了一个年轻人的跌落和重生。德里克·文纳德（Derek Vineyard）的故事引发了人们对仇恨和种族主义的思考。电影通过对德里克的过去和现状的描述，展现了种族冲突的根源和后果。电影的社会批判和对人性的分析令人印象深刻， VALUE。虽然电影的暴力和仇恨情节令人不安，但它无疑是一个值得看到的电影。
