My favorite is This is England, American History X is pretty good but This is England is a great film about the Skinhead culture in england during the 80s.
I thought you would say "Let the right one in" :P Or slip it in there somehow....
But i agree This is England is fantastic movie, but i like American History X way more. Although AHX was more personal (and a little vague in some points) the acting was superb.
I agree with This is England. The ending of that movie was much more excruciating than the ending in AHX. Great acting.DeeJayInphinity
The guy who played the skinhead gang leader, I think his name is Stephen Graham, was incredible. Thomas Turngoose, the little kid, was great too. The ending was really sad, that character Milky I think his name was and what happens to him:cry:

I know. The acting made it look so real. You could literally see Combo's emotions start to boil when he was talking to Milky. Also, the characters in This is England were much more detailed. I got attached to a bunch of them (especially Milky) whereas some of the characters in AHX felt flat and empty.

There werent many interesting character in AHX to me aside from Edward Norton's. The director of This is England Shane Meadows is one of my favorites, he did another great film called Dead Man's shoes. I suggest you check it out.

They are politcal. Everything political is bad. Why? Because it has an agenda. And they usually tell a one sided story, perpetuating stereotypes on race....

Most movies have an agenda. I don't think most people realize that movies are not only made for money but can also be a median for political and socialagendas. It's not just political and racial movies.

It's why I do not watch movies.8)
But that's like not talking to people b/c they have agendas too. You just have to have a mind of your own. Not a insult towards you, just in general.

Higher Learning was definitely about racism, but unfortunately it sucked.
I just bought it not long ago, because I remember really liking it. And disappointingly, it's really sort of a crappy movie. It had its high points, but unfortunately I've gotta say that it sucks, even though I think that it's good that it tries to send a good message.
Maybe it WAS once good. But some movies just plain don't age well, and Higher Learning may have been one of them. Maybe THAT'S why I now think that it sucks.
