I remember taking off of work with a bunch of friends who also took off of work, went for lunch and went to see the film. It was great, the movie and the experience!
"Malcolm X" is one of the most complete and educational movies I've ever seen, and I think it's worth noting that I'm a 28-year-old Caucasian male. People can learn a lot from this film!
helpoj From what I hear, the Malcolm X biography, which the Spike Lee film is based on, is an all-time great book! Unfortunately, only so much could be squeezed into a three-hour film and going over that length-of-time would make "Malcolm X" flawed in that it would likely fall victim to over-length. But I honestly can't complain and, again, it's one of the most complete films I've ever seen! In regards to "12 Years a Slave," it's on my Watch List.
***** True. When they're alive they hate them. When they're gone they praise them. A lot of people hated King and X. I'm from Denmark and the same politicians who called Nelson Mandela a terrorist and condemned him when he was still in prison praised his memory when he passed away.
+Simon Dilling Christiansen The reason ppl started hating MLK was because he became much more militant after Malcolm X died he realized that he had been the victim of a con game by the government and he started acting more like Malcolm X in the late 60s when he spoke about economic revolution in this country for black ppl.He started speaking about reparations that along with his views on the Vietnam war led to his downfall.Also quiet as its kept white females were the main beneficiaries of the civil rights movement
+Simon Dilling Christiansen I wonder what those ppl in Denmark thought of Patrice Lumumba after he was murdered by that country along with help from the USA on the date of 1-17-61 when spoke about economic revolution&independence in the Congo
I can’t imagine the sheer amount of research and dedication that had to go into making this film right. If you are gonna bring a figure as legendary and historically important as Malcolm X to the big screen you cannot mess it up. As someone who read his autobiography the film is remarkably accurate.
The fix to set Spike up was after he told Warner Brothers that the film was going to be long they assumed that the movie was going to be TWO HOURS but Spike told the studio heads that this film was going to be 4 HOURS before he created the screenplay.
BAYPAPMS Multi-Media-Services Ya nothing says great movie than being funded by a white woman rapper the likes of Bill Cosby!!! Can Spike Lee still call rapper Bill in prison and still get a movie loan???
Cinema Insiders Well other than the fact that his first phone call to get money was a rapist of white women!!!! Where is Bill Cosby now???? Can Spike still call Bill Cosby and get a loan now??? Lol
+Gavin Gill I will always say this Denzel was robbed of the Oscar for this role and of course Spike along with his ppl never got any nominations at all for this classic
Thinking about the unity, love and respect that he received from prominent black people was beautiful. It brought proud tears to his eyes because he used Malcolm's philosophy of self-reliance and it worked. I feel you Spike. That's was a beautiful thing, black people pulling together to accomplish something important, and significant.
One of the great screen biographies. Most are just greatest hits-Cliff's Notes versions that don't tell you much that you don't know. This one organically flows.
That's too much"POWER"for ONE man.Malcom X, sadly had to be sacrificed caused it was about United States economy when dealing with a multi trillion dollars race of people the would have brought this government in ruins, worst then the great depression if black people would have united with mother Africa.
Let it be worth saying if i had the net worth of anybody on that list I would wouldn’t care rather I got my money back or not I am already rich out of my mind...🤷♂️
I never liked the use of the dolly effect to film the sequence of Malcolm walking to the Audubon Ballroom. (8:00) It makes him look so perplexed and perturbed to the point that it becomes comical.
Denzel said in the movie, He doesn’t come to you as a Mason nor as an Elk! Well why then was the movie shot in the huge New York Elks Lodge #1 lodge room & building / Hotel Diplomat on 43rd street... Kind of hypocritical don’t you think Spike???

to really in capture the fullsignificance of this man, you must read the bio.
btw, watch 12 Years a Slave.

Wow he was crying! Great interview! I love his passion for Malcolm. May God bless him!
It was his Tour de Force!
Knowing about the funding issue makes me appreciate the movie so much more!! I needed that movie as a kid. Thank you Spike!! Thank you Denzel!!
they didn't give him the money because he's black

he seemed the most pleased with his own joke
You can tell that as he's going down the list, he can't wait to get to the punchline 😀

Malcolm X is a great film that should be studied in film schools
Such a must watch and re watch masterpiece.

Because of the movie this man is more popular now than he was in the '60s ppl use quotes from him all the time on social media.
Farewell, James Lipton.

Double dolly one of Mr.Lee's signature movie shots...he made it his own!
This is what today's generation of kids need to watch. It sucks they don't teach this in school to keep them enslaved mentally
Malcolm X was an important film to make to advance American and World History. Afro-Asian history wouldn't be complete without input from Malcolm X.
Told him how much magic gave
spike literally did a WWMD (what would malcolm do)
bravo mon frère : moi aussi j'ai beaucoup aimé ce film ici en France , et tu as eu raison d'insister auprès de la communauté !
FBI killed Malcolm X
Rip malcolmX you would have changed the world.
It shouldeve got a fukking oscar this movie

“My first call was to Bill Cosby…”
Oooh that’s awkward.
Why is that awkward?
if netflix wanted 2 know who killed malcom spike told them here
They almost fired him?
No, but the funding was limited, as Spike mentiones here, if thats what you meant. SCANDALOUS!
Diego Bareno But hey at least he got his funding from a now convicted rapist of white women, named Bill Cosby!!!!
