Wikipedia: wiki about the movie
Danny Vinyard: So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'
[Inside prison laundry]
Lamont: [to Derek] Don't fuck with me 'cause I'm the most dangerous man in this prison. You know why? 'Cause I control the underwear.
Lamont: [They walk down to the underwear station] All right, pick 'em up over here and you sort 'em over there. I hope you can work out all right because the last guy they sent me didn't wear no drawers, couldn't read the sizes in the drawers, and he used to sniff the drawers. All right, we got two sizes, medium and large, all right? All you got to do is put the mediums with the mediums and the large with the large. All right, I know it's a borin' job, but it's better than that last shit they had me doin'. I spent two years in the kitchen...
[He laughs]
Lamont: ... scrubbin' hot ass pots and pans that you don't want to do, alright?
on the whole, "detachment" seems to be a better one.. but right now i'm unable to confirm it since i've seen "detachment" only once and "american history x" quite a few times.. if i was asked to use "more coherent and cohesive" about either film, i guess i'd say "detachment" deserves the adjectives in question.. however, it may change on october 6...:)
It is a great movie,which forces you to think about it. It addresses the problem of Nazism in the USA. The main charakter underdoing transformation under the influence of experience. I think that I can recommend this movie to anyone but it isn't easy film.

This isn't the last song, there's no violin, the choir is quiet, and no one takes a spin, this is the next to last song, and that's all...
I watched it a few years ago. A great movie!
