Let's talk about the hilariously bad basketball scene from American History X

[Hersh]

were supposed to believe Norton was the best player on the court too .. lmao

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

I'm white and I knew how stupid that shyt was as a kid lol

 

[duckbutta]

how bad was that pass though... cause nortion is all of 5 "6" in timbs...

and how low was that rim they were playing on that he could dunk on it...

 

[N*E*R*D]

I always enjoyed the film can't believe the hatefest its getting. I thought the ending is what seals it as a great film...no happy ending.

 

[One4Deuce]

Movie is great, honestly never put a ton of thought into how bad this scene is... but you guys are right, it's bad.

 

[NZA]

and this is why you hire consultants for your movies. im sure somebody who had actually watched a basketball game in their life could have choreographed a more believable scene where a team with an incredibly out of shape guy, and a shorty manage to win.

it's as bad as most movies where somebody plays an instrument or draws a picture, but the actor and director have no idea how to really do those activities. you just have to forget what you just saw, LOL.

You guys have no clue. Missed the premise.







The Black & white scenes[Bball scene,curb stomp..] are being viewed in hindsight by his little brother as he writes the story for the principal, in his head he views his brother as a hero who always wins & he can admire.... thats why the Basketball scene is INTENTIONALLY unrealistic; Danny is viewing it through his memories and he sees his big bro[in prison at the time] as the hero figure but late in the movie when he is released from prison he has a clear perception of who his big brother really is, a convicted murderer.
