Hate is baggage.

American History X, a punch towards racism,  must watch film

It is embarrassing to only watch this great masterpiece by now.

first class performance from Edward Norton. Although he was nominated for Oscar with this performance on 99, my another favourite actor Roberto Benigni won that with "Life is Beautiful"
and it is interesting to learn that, Edward Norton turn down the role in a much higher budget project "Saving Private Ryan" to do this movie.

How sweet is the talk in the laundry of the prison with Lamont.
    "I'm the most dangerous man in this prison. You know why? 'Cause I control the underwear."

and what a shocking painful action scene just before he is arrested.

.. coming with a sharp conclusion

"Hate is baggage. Life is too short to be pissed off all the time, it's just not worth it."
