@Adidasss-what took you so long on this one? A great little movie. have you seen his VISITOR Q-now that is one strange comedy.

American History X at least had a turning point, where it made sense WHY he changed his opinion on black people. He had a black friend and a black teacher still supporting him and educating him. While in THE BELEIVER he just all of a sudden on a bombing run decides he likes being jewish again?
They're was never any legitimate reason WHY he hated jews...all he ever says is "you must kill your enemy" well why are they your enemy, because you had to take some classes in elementary school? big ****ing deal.
While American History X his dad gets shot, bam, makes sense..
When it came down to it they were more or less the same movie, just that American history x had better acting and production. Both movies had awful endings though
