Date  Helpful Rating 0 out of 0 users found this helpful  Malcolm XThis motion picture is an experience that all Americans should partake in. The story dramatically demonstrates Malcolm's transformation from a street thug, to a leader of the black nation. Denzel Washington was masterful in his performance of the much maligned leader of the Nation of Islam. Washington's performance demonstrates why he should be considered the greatest actor of our time.The movie was effective at attracting viewers that maybe would not want to see the movie otherwise-- it has entertainment value. The scenes at the barbershop and the dance are humorous and light and well performed. Washington's delivery of Malcolm's various speeches are also well done. Malcolm X was a brilliant orator, and Washington was able to capture that skill.The film is a must see. Was this review helpful?

The first of its type as an epic from a black producer garnering manyOscar nominations. Malcolm Little is a product of a post slavery era, born an ancestor of a mixed marriage to a Southern Preacher, raised on the streets of Harlem, surviving the pitfalls of the Ghetto only to fall victim to a prejudiced Justice system. While in the lockup, he contemplates his lot with the help of solitary confinement; ultimately meeting Brother Baines who talks the truths of Islam and the Honorable Elijah Mohammed, which seem to lean slightly against any human of fair skin.After experiencing a vision and the proper soul-searching, he abandons the person of 'Little' opting for an X in place of the last name signifying the minute importance of names in the nation of Islam. But even though Malcolm X is a new channel for the dogma of Elijah Mohammed, his roots with his father and the bible continue to remain uppermost in his thoughts. Can a peaceful world abide racial prejudice? A pilgrimage to the Holy Land brings him to the realization of a united brotherhood and he now finds many conflicts with his spiritual forbears causing ripples that will forever shape his destinies. Spike Lee's best effort to date with Albert Hall shining as the anachronistic Brother Baines and Angela Bassett in one of her finest works since ";What's Love Got To Do With It?";. Lee and Washington respectively re-create the turmoil ofthe time with an all too real craftsmanship, actor to director. A Seriously thought provking cinema masterpiece. Eulogy written and performed by Ossie Davis Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-3 of 3 Per Page | ||
