I don't remember the last time I watched the movie, but watching it after reading the autobiography might change my rating from 10/10 to 9/10 or less. The struggle is too minimized, they kind of represented a too aggressive picture of him, some of the important quotes were interpolated. His siblings and most importantly Ella and Wilfred were completely removed from the biopic script, I don't understand why they certainly had huge impact on his life. I wish they could've gave more attention to the chapter where he got to know the true Islam, and I wish they mentioned the part where he met king Faisal of Saudi Arabia. Ultimately, a great worth watching movie that is one my all time favorites, I strongly recommend the book though.

Denzel's acting was so good I sometimes mistake him for the actual Malcolm X.

One of the most radical film ever made in Hollywood. The hate Spike Lee gets is not gratuitous. Imagine the conservative outrage if it came out today!

I cannot imagine the hoops Spike Lee must have had to jump through to get any form of investment into either the concept or the production of this truly groundbreaking study of a man who divided opinion in a way few others have since the end of the Second World War. I say a study of man, but this is More

It's ironic. I love Denzel Washington. I am also quite fond of Malcolm X, not necessarily that I agree with his entire philosophy. I think in many ways that he did a great dis-service to the black community by leading many astray from the truth and love of Jesus Christ, and into a chapter of Islam t More
