Wow, your first view of "the curbing", eh? Great movie, Norton Jr. needs to come out with something soon, haven't seen him (on the big screen) since '03.

why did his little brother get capped at the end? was it revenge for what he did that got him in prison? or just being a skinhead in general?

earlier in the movie he blew that puff of smoke in the kids face and and stared him and his friends down in the bathroom.

Whats the deal with him going to jail? From what I saw the guys jackin' his jeep(? forget) had handguns.

No one could have gone against him to say it was excessive when they had guns...? Perhaps I'm just over-analysing. I had thought you Americans could kill anyone on your property when in danger.

No, we only like to think we can =). I believe there are limits beyond which force is deemed excessive (i.e. biting the curb - the thief was already shot and disarmed, I believe)

because he chased one and shot him, the other he shot then crushed his head agaist the curb. a little excessive use of force.

Hey if you like this movie, check out Redemption with Jamie Foxx. American History X is definitely in my top 5 favorite movies of all time.
