	Malcolm X: The Facts, the Fictions, the Film
		But the trials of presenting Malcolm X on film did not begin with Lee but in 1968, when a screenplay by James Baldwin and Arnold Perl was commissioned by Marvin Worth, a producer who had acquired rights to the autobiography.
		Clearly, Malcolm X has gained wider approval than he had during his lifetime, but sharp debate continues over what his legacy is -- or should be -- with people of competing ideologies claiming to be the rightful heir to his political philosophy.
		Thus, while the film depicts the assassination of Malcolm X, the final images are of schoolchildren and the South African fl nationalist Nelson Mandela in present-day Soweto, the fl township that symbolizes the political conflicts in apartheid.

		Malcolm was often fond of saying both in his book and in the film that, growing up on the streets, he came across many individuals who had the potential to do great things with their minds, but more often than not those intellects were wasted on trying to hustle a living.

	Malcolm X: Legacy of a revolutionary

	AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of Malcolm X
		MALCOLM X is a strong, well-made movie about a fascinating man who went through enormous changes in his life, and was still changing when he was assassinated by thugs hired by the religious group he'd turned away from.
		Malcolm is both unformed and smug; his vague sense of dissatisfaction is buried as he drifts into crime.
		For non-fls, the great triumph of MALCOLM X is that we travel with and understand his changes; he becomes increasingly sympathetic as he nears a middle position on the racial issue.

	Malcolm X Film Review - Time Out Film
		Lee's labour of love is arguably his most anonymous film to date, with fewer in-your-face stylistic flourishes or confrontational ideological statements than his earlier works.
		True, the scenes of young Malcolm (Washington) and his pal Shorty (Lee) at a Boston dance hall exhibit a fizzy choreographic flair; true, too, that the opening credits footage of the Rodney King beating hints at an anger none too shy of courting controversy.
		But mostly, while the film glides from Malcolm's early years as a hustler and petty criminal to his emergence in the Nation of Islam, it plays surprisingly safe as a solidly crafted trawl through the didactic/hagiographic conventions of the mainstream biopic.

		The issuing of a stamp draws attention away from the same federal government’s still-hidden role in illegal spying on Malcolm, the disruption of his activities, the hounding of his followers, and its role in his death.
		Malcolm, in my opinion, would have wanted us to focus on the files, not on seeing his face on a stamp.
		Right after Malcolm was assassinated in 1965, major newspapers—the New York Times and the Washington Post among many—denounced him in editorials as a "preacher of hate" who got what he deserved.
