AMERICAN HISTORY X
- Toni Kaye
Race, Ethnicity and Differential Consciousness
, GRAU’S ARGUME
• American History X promotes antisemitism and racism through:
• Stylish cinematography
• Editing
• Sound
• This leads to the manipulation of the viewer, making the film amount to
propaganda
• Other elements that support Grau’s perspective, include:
• Taye’s use of “fascist aesthetics” which support Nazi propaganda
• The conclusion of the film, which ‘implicitly promotes the immoral worldview’ which is
rejected throughout the film, but which is then ultimately ligitimized
