American History X was an all-around good movie. For some reason, the pavement thing didn't phase me too much.
I think there's a difference between just a gory movie and a movie that actually realistically portrays violence. As someone stated earlier, a super-gory movie can make you laugh, but some movies can actually disturb people. I was watching Natural Born Killers and did a good job of freaking somebody out. I know the movie pales in comparison to others as far as blood and guts go, but there's something about people begging for their lives and the psyche of a killer that can make some people shudder.
... I don't know. Whatever.
