I jerk off in two cases:
1. When I see Edward Norton on my TV.
Nah, Fight Club is good, but not good enough to jerk off. American History X, 25th Hour - that's what I love.Fight Club must be like XXX porn to you, am I right?
Yeah, it's 25th Hour. He was a drug dealler who's been cought and had to get to jail for seven years, so the film is about his last 24 hours (that the police gave him) of freedom before to get to jail for years.LOL, what film is that? 25th Hour? Never seen it. I like how he berates every single group possible (except white trailer trash) and then complains about Osama killing all them 'innocents' belonging to each of those groups.
American History X was awesome up until he got gangbanged by his white brothers in prison and then suddenly became normal. I thought the ending was a cop out.

Wow, until this moment I thought I was the only one to think this!
I've seen it first when I was 14, and I was crying for two days (I'm not kidding) after it, and it's still my fave movie.
Actually the fact that he's been raped isn't really the reason why he's changed. You do realize it, right?
Well yes, I was a kid and I took it all too close to heart, ahemm...What were you crying about? His kid brother getting shot?
The other thing I wasn't sure about in the ending was that Ed Norton comes out of prison all reformed and the movie attempts to tell you that all ethnic groups have fucked up people, so you sympathize, and then the black kid shoots his kid brother and you're left wondering whether he had a good case to make all along....the message in the end seemed a little jumbled to me
I think you get it wrong. If the main reason why he changed was him being raped - that'd be really stupid. But the real reason is that the prison he was in was full of black guys, and he knew that with all that stuff tattoed on his body and other shit he was not going to stay safe for long, so he joined that skinheads company. And when they fucked them and he left alone and with no cover - he could get killed or crippled by blacks... But that my pals who was doing "prison job" on washing with him actually told black ppl not to touch Ed. So he literally fucking saved his life. my pals saved the skinhead's life. That was the main reason. And Norton had time to think about this shit and change his mind.Maybe I'm not reading into it deep enough but I took it at face value: he goes to prison, unites with his white brothers, still believing in white people being the supreme perfect race....and then it turns out they're buying drugs, dealing with the blacks and hispanics, they turn on him and rape him, and he feels betrayed, realizing that white people are as fucked up as everyone else.

Maybe you just missed the point, but I've watched it for like 20 times, so I had time to take it all clear.
