Denzel Washington Delivers Malcolm X's Powerful Speech | HBO Max
Denzel seems to made his way through Hollywood and he still has his soul. That's the real miracle.
what makes you say that?
@King Simba yeah right..read Sahih al-Bukhari
Trusted Islamic text about Muhammad and Ali and black slaves.
@King Simba yeah keep telling you that.
YEAH RIGHT THEM CLONES RUNNING SHORT ON ADRENOCHROME
You have to stay true to yourself and stand firm instead of going with the wind or flow, most people forget were they came from or who was there for them when they had nothing. When people start talking in their ear, they start to change to conform and by the time they realize it, their life is in shambles. And stay of social media too.
Biggest Best Actor oscar snub...
Yes it was, it didn’t even play at theaters in LA because of the sparks of protesting for Rodney King.

They would never give the Oscar to a man portraying Malcolm X
Oh I say it I say it again. 'You've been had! You've been took! Hoodwinked! Bamboozled! Lead astray! Run amok!" Most epic line in the movie
real talk
I use it at times.

Out of the many amazing Denzel movies, "Malcolm X" is easily my favorite.
He performed such an impeccable performance
He was brilliant. I loved this but I loved the movie, ‘The Hurricane’. That’s one of my favorites. I don’t believe I could pick just one. I’ve loved every movie he’s played in. He is a talented actor. Denzel Washington has the voice of pure silk and of course, he’s beautiful inside & out. He’s a ‘Good Man’!
The Book of Eli Denzel fasho did that as well!
Both Morgan Freeman and Mario Van Peebles portrayed Malcolm X in their respective movies. Both honorable mentions. But Denzel Washington knocked it out of the park. He became Malcolm.
Straight Home Run 💯💯
Absolutely
RIP Malcolm X (May 19, 1925 - February 21, 1965), age 39
You will be remembered as a legend
Sunday he would have turned 99 next year he would be 100
This is genuinely one of the most impressive speeches I’ve ever heard due in terms of both rhetoric and delivery. Which makes sense because Malcom X was a great speaker but damn did Denzel get his likeness
Unfortunately the scene was prematurely cut here. I could be wrong… but didn’t he also use the "We didn’t land on Plymouth rock…" line here?
@@nschuehly he did! might've been cut in the video for continuity but it's a great line
@@sp691 It certainly is. And as you said, Denzel Washington's delivery is brilliant. I could not think of another actor (back then or now) better suited to play Malcolm X than him. And it was a tough role to play, given how charismatic the real Malcolm X was.
Where did you study rhetoric mate? LMAO
@@Sam-bn7jk american high schools often have advanced placement language
I honestly believe Denzel Washington really felt this his acting was literally perfect
If you haven't already, check out the Making of Malcolm X here on TH-cam. Denzel spent a year preparing for the role before they even started filming. He practiced Islam and learned Arabic so he could read the Quran in its original language. Denzel as Malcolm was a textbook case of method acting (and that's probably an understatement). That's what made his performance so powerful. He understood the assignment and nailed it.
we always mention Denzel but big up to spike lee for putting it together
Nah ....this movie could have been made 20 years later by another director, and Denzel would have still played Malcolm X. Without Denzel, this movie isn't what it is now.
@@joemama-lq9yx naw you have to understand the chemistry they have, only spike and Denzel could pull this type of look and feel off. If you don't believe me go back and research how many of your favorite Denzel movies are directed by spike Lee. Denzel is a great actor without spike but when they come together it's usually a box office smash
@@joemama-lq9yxIf not for Spike we wouldn’t even have a Malcolm X movie of this magnitude. Spike had a damn near rob steal and kill just get this made through the lens of a black man. That’s important
Lee wasn’t even supposed to be Director it was supposed to be Norman Jewison but he left because he had problems with the script. After Norman left lee took the original script written by James Baldwin and Arnold perl years prior and made it his own the way he wanted it he rewrote and changed things around.
Malcolm X is hands down the best Denzel Washington movie. I've seen it a dozen times. 3 hours and I get sucked in believing he really is Malcolm every time and weep every time. How it didn't get Best Picture much less Best Actor is a crime. ❤
Definitely
👇
@@MorrisB3 yeah, it's crazy, I cry every time! 😭😅
Denzel is a national treasure !
He and Thomas Sowell are National Conservatives.
It’s amazing how Denzel captured Malcolm’s mannerism and speech pattern. It was definitely this movie that started my celebrity crush on Denzel Washington.
Mr. Washington personally knew the family growing up.
🤩
Denzel played one of the strongest men that ever lived. He's a sweet man in real life but plays some tough characters. The equalizer is the nicest guy in real life.
Every time I hear that "government seal on the liquor bottle" line, I want to throw a trash can through a window.

@@ShangHighRoller LOL!
How Denzel didn't win an Oscar for his portrayal of Malcolm X is beyond me

#restorethesnyderverse
Too black for Hollywood, and I mean black, not mainstream liberal bull
Because Al Pacino won for sent of a woman
Denzel gives one of if not the greatest performance of all time from how he talked, walked and interacted with people he became Malcolm X
MR Denzel Washington played that role, and Malcolm X was a man and leader ahead of all time
Denzel should be given Oscar for this movie
Absolutely
🏆
They robbed him of this Oscar because the role was to real and let's not forget the white people run the Oscars and that's why Denzel didn't win they control that as well
To date, Denzel's GREATEST performance. And looking at his amazing career, that's saying A LOT.
He will always be remembered for his performance in this film by everyone who saw him in the movie.
Probably his best performance. He was Malcolm X
This is just acting of the real thing. Imagine the real Malcolm 😢.
I have long been a Denzel fan. (NOT a Hollywood fan). They said Denzel carried the spirit of Malcolm to the awards, and perhaps longer. I blame education and media for keeping the magic and magnetism of Malcolm X from us. I have watched this movie and read about Malcolm X, his amazing widow, daughters since Covid. We were never taught about him in school. About MLK - yes. Not Malcolm X.
Which is kinda funny. Most of the world know who Malcolm X was, but they don't know who MLK was. While MLK told his dream on us who cannot sleep under oppression, Malcolm X's words rang so strongly that it made us wide awake. He made us aware who our enemies are and how can we fix our condition ourselves.
Martin had a dream, MALCOLM HAD A PLAN.
@@byanymeansnecessary9329 That's a very honest way to put it. Well said.
@@allflying3 what makes it even more ironic is they mainly focus on MLK's "dream" in schools, but they don't talk about how he called out the US government and condemned the Vietnam War. The real MLK was more radical than the docile caricature that mainstream America embraces.
As far as I'm concerned Washington should've won the Oscar for his RIVETING performance as Malcolm X
Probably one of the best portrayals in cinema history!!! I remember seeing this when it came out and I totally forgot DW was not Malcolm X... That's how good he was in this role...
Reading Taraji P Henson’s book only to realize that she and her best friend Traci made it their mission to not only be in this scene, but to be on the front row of the audience. If you listen closely, you can hear Taraji’s voice. Dope! Traci’s in the green & Taraji’s in the black 😊
God it's like he was born to be him

One of the biggest snubs in Oscar history. Denzel Washington should have won an Oscar for his portrayal of Malcolm X. This reminds me of the movie Lady Sings The Blues where Diana Ross should have won an Oscar for her portrayal of legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday 🎶🎵
my man gave me goosebumps. what a legend Denzel is.
This is why casting Denzel Washington in The Tragedy of Macbeth was such total genuine genius, as an orator he's unsurpassed.
Malcolm X was such an amazing Spike Lee movie. Denzel Washington did an outstanding performance and captured the mind , charisma , personality and soul of Malcolm X 🙂. He was perfectly cast for the role .
I came here looking for bamboozled
The greatest actor ever 👏 👏 👏
I admire this man! He's married to a woman who looks like his mother. His portrayal of Malcolm X was beyond excellent! I was so mesmerized looking at his performance that I felt it was Malcolm X even though I knew I was viewing a movie.
Denzel Washington incorporated the spirit of Malcolm X to such a degree, he deserved and should have won an Oscar for such an exceptional performance.
But, that's OK. He has kept going without bitterness and continues to produce outstanding performances and movies.
His magnificent work will live and be seen by millions of humans around the world.
My dad taught me that "the best revenge is success."
Don’t worry about who he married, just look at the man’s life’s work. That determines one’s greatness.
@@beloved3244 It usually denotes a level of consciousness about one's history, culture and the role of white supremacy which is a worldwide evil. There are exceptions; W. E. B. Du Bois is one that comes to mind.
His mama was half white though
Fred Sanford said your kids can’t look like you or have your traits if they don’t have both black parents.I agree cause black culture isn’t white culture
I believe the preacher in him woke up in this moment, he spoke beyond the script. Just amazing to witness, he didn’t even recall what he was saying. Remarkable human being
@MAAHAQQ if you do your research Denzel Washington spoke from the heart off script in this scene that I’m talking about and his father (in real life) was a minister. This comment was my opinion whatever made the movie may be word for word but if you go back and look at interviews he started preaching beyond the script. Facts look it up
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 this speech still rings true in 2022!!!!!!!
I wish he got an Oscar for this role, instead of Training Day.
Why not both
That’s what the white man do
Malcolm X, and his legacy, are beyond praise. He's a true hero.
🙌
Wow...I got goosebumps for straight 2 minutes & 16 seconds
One of Theeeeeee most criminal acts in cinema - not giving him an Oscar for this utter mastery. My goodness 🔥
God Bless Malcolm X and i hope his word makes a return.
The most absolute speech that Malcolm X had ever said. Why didn't Denzel Washington never won an Academy award for his best acting performance in "Malcolm X"? : 0
Much respect to spike Lee & Denzel Washington
[Crowd] That's right.
✊️
So I have to stand here today what I was when I was born A BLACK MAN 🖤 Wow Powerful ! One of my favorite Denzel Movies ,!
My Favorite Actor
Love all of his movies! 🤩
He was the perfect person for this
Malcolm was arguably the GREATEST STREET CORNER PREACHER ever!!!!!!
All that’s missing was him saying “YOU’VE BEEN SMECKLEDORFED”
Great acting by Denzel as always 👌
This was arguably the most powerful scene in this classic!!!!!
Fantastic movie! A true education. Denzel Washington was brilliant with one of his very best performances. He delivered! Every student should be required to read this book and after discussing the book thoroughly, to watch the movie. I believe this is an ‘Opportunity’ to reach through all the lies and show school aged children this movie along with their peer group. Open their minds while they are still eager to learn. Children are the future and without the truth they are doomed to repeat it all. Teachers use every tool they have available to teach their students. Children will embrace this movie far faster than anyone could possibly try to explain what happened & why it happened. This is a ‘must see movie’! Denzel, as always, portrayed Malcom X with Respect & Honor. May God Bless All Who Worked on This Important Story! Thank you Mr Washington.
#RESTORETHESNYDERVERSE
The biggest tragedy of Malcolm X is that Denzel never won an Oscar for this role. They had no issues giving the man an Oscar for playing a slave in Glory or a corrupt cop in Training Day. Both fictional characters.
But when it came to a historical black figure that changed the face of this country and opened up the hearts and minds of Black people the answer was “No”
I’m sure if Brother Malcolm were alive today, he’d certainly have some choice words about that dynamic too.
To be honest Denzel he's the best actor I ever seen very strong character he is the real impersonator of Malcom x My respects for him
🤲
THERE IS ONLY ONE THING HBOMAX SHOULD UPLOAD

I avoided this movie like the plague for years even though I am a devoted Denzel fan. I just didn’t think I would like it. Eventually watched it and it is easily my favorite movie I quote it all the time. I have probably sent this particular scene To I don’t know how many other people. Truth is powerful
Preach. Me too
Sounds about WHITE...
Why would you avoid it? What type of ignorance does that?
Wow...brilliant acting 👏👏👍👍 I am surprise he did not get an Oscar for that. Fantastic actor!
To be fair, he was up against Pacino in Scent of a Woman. Speaks for itself
Your surprised? 😂
😯
Denzel should have got a Oscar hands down
He should probably have the most oscars.. Best set of films by one actor by far. (imo)
Someone with the last name of Washington playing Malcolm X. Oh the irony of the democracy of hypocrisy.
@@Chaza117 I couldn't agree more bro.....Denzel and Leonardo decaprio are my two favorite actors of all time and to me they both are the cream of the crop!!!
Damn Denzel is so good at his craft! Love all his movies especially this, Flight, American Gangster, Glory, and more
Best performance by an actor of all time.
Truly the X of Malcolm.
No actor on earth has a movie catalogue like Denzel Washington…Malcolm X, Training day, Fences, Glory and now he’s in Gladiator 2 as well🤦🏿♂️💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
