Begotten??? Really?
That movie is wholly unwatchable. That gurgling noise throughout is just awful
Its like a film before the time where humans where conscious enough to see life as a movie, or through the eyes of the observer. its observing the unobservant playing the parts of the theatre of creation/existence. I love it though it is wholly dark and is saved for certain times.

American History X is a straight up bad movie too
The whole arch of him reading books and getting a black mate so now he's enlightened and non racist is laughable. As is the izan gang. Just cartoons man. It makes hand-wave references to interesting discussions but it's so simple. Also the

Parallels of "getting a black mate so now he's enlightened"
has happened though, so it's not entirely unrealistic. Each to their own I guess, but I thought it was good, and does about as much as you can with the "horrors of racism" angle as you can in under 2 hours, I reckon.

- Also, the original ending was meant to see Edward Norton's character go back to the racist gang after his brother gets merked by the black kid, would've been a good ending imo.

a sick ending would have been to turn the whole thing into a full on action/revenge movie after the rape scene and just have one of those 15-20 fight scenes w/ edward norton's character vs the white power bros

I love both There Will Be Blood and Mulholland Dr but they explore similar territory to Citizen Kane and Persona respectively so wanted to get some variation in there.
