	Malcolm X (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Malcolm X is a 1992 biographical film directed by Spike Lee about the African-American activist and Black nationalist Malcolm X.
		Malcolm X preaches a doctrine of separation from white society, however, a pilgrimage to Mecca softens his beliefs, teaches him that Muslims come from all races, even Caucasians, and he endeavors to break free of the strict dogma of the Nation of Islam, with tragic results.
		The eulogy that Ossie Davis delivers over the documentary footage of Malcolm X's life near the end of the film is excerpted from the one that he wrote and delivered himself at Malcolm's actual funeral in 1965.

		Malcolm X was buried at the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York.

	Review/Television; PBS Offers a New Life of Malcolm X - New York Times
		Spike Lee's 1992 movie, "Malcolm X," was a nomination for sainthood.
		Malcolm's imposing position, at least in popular history, is connected to the new respectability of the themes of fl nationalism, self-reliance and Afrocentrism that he preached during his years of ascendance as a Black Muslim.
		Soon Malcolm was exposing the movement he had lately personified: he said it was a money-making operation for insiders and took to mentioning Elijah Mohammad without the honorific.

		Malcolm Little grew up in the streets of Harlem New York with his mother and father and all his brothers, his father was murdered by the Klu Klux Klan but nobody was brought to justice infact it was claimed his fathers death was suicide.
		Malcolm and his brothers where split up into foster homes and Malcolm while attending school one day was told by his favourite teacher that he couldn't be a lawyer because he was a "Negro" which as you can imagine this hurt Malcolm extensively.

	Malcolm X (1992)
		Inexplicably overlooked by the Motion Picture Academy in 1992, Spike Lee's Malcolm X is a spellbinding epic.
		Anchored by Denzel Washington's tour-de-force performance in the title role, Malcolm X is an across-the-board triumph, from Ernest Dickerson's stunning cinematography to Lee's masterful direction.
		Using The Autobiography of Malcolm X (as told to Alex Haley) as his template, Lee vividly charts the title character's journey from small-time hood to charismatic leader of the Nation of Islam.

	Malcolm X: Special Edition (1992)
		Born Malcolm Little, son of a Nebraska preacher, on May 19, 1925, he became one of the most militant leaders and charismatic spokesmen of the fl liberation movement before his assassination at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City on February 21, 1965.
		Malcolm's tragic assassination is presented as a conspiracy of Nation of Islam leaders; the film shows how his philosophy has been realized in the lives of others who have been moved by his words.
		Malcolm X appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on these single-sided, double-layered DVDs; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	Laramie Movie Scope: Malcolm X
		Sometimes going to see a movie that is good for you is like eating a food that is good for you, but that you don't like, broccoli, for instance, or like seeing ``Howard's End,'' a movie experience not greatly different than a visit to the dental hygienist to have your gums bled.
		Malcolm X, I'm happy to say, is educational, but, like good food, is not hard to swallow.
		The rumor on this film is that Malcolm X's widow had a lot of input into it and that would explain why she comes across so very powerfully and positively in the film.

		Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" is one of the great screen biographies, celebrating the whole sweep of an American life that began in sorrow and bottomed out on the streets and in prison before its hero reinvented himself.
		The movie then follows Malcolm as he sheds his last name - the legacy, the Muslims preached, of slaveowners - and becomes a fiery street-corner preacher who quickly rises until he is the most charismatic figure in the Black Muslims, teaching that whites are the devil and that fls must become independent and self-sufficient.
		A revealing scene in "Malcolm X" shows Malcolm on the campus of Columbia University, where a young white girl tells him that her heart is in the right place and that she supports his struggle.

	dOc DVD Review: Malcolm X: SE (1992)
		Malcolm X is an invigorating, informative, and altogether magnificent film that chronicles the life of the slain civil rights leader from his childhood in Nebraska to his assassination at the Audubon Ballroom in February of 1965.
		Malcolm X opens in Boston during WWII, and after a wonderful establishing shot featuring a bustling city street we are bounced back and forth between Malcolm's (then, Malcolm Little) life in Boston with his friend Shorty (Lee) and his childhood in Omaha, Nebraska.
		Soon Malcolm is arrested and, in prison, becomes the picture of a man who has contempt for anyone and everything and it lands him in isolation for much of his stay.

	Malcolm X - Movie Review
		Washington's richly layered portrayal of Malcolm, as he progresses from thug to prison convert to angry Nation of Islam leader to messenger of peace, is absolutely electrifying.
		Malcolm X is too long, too imperfectly paced, too superficial in some places, and too obsessive in others, but it's also highly entertaining, illuminating, and deeply inspiring.
		Far from worshipping its subject, Malcolm X shows the hero as a man, and the man as a critical part of the cultural progress of 20th-century America.

	A Movie Producer Remembers the Human Side of Malcolm X
		Worth said his obsession with making a film about the life of Malcolm X was based, in large part, on his conviction that the story of the fl leader was a peculiarly American saga.
		If the life story of Malcolm X seemed like an ideal movie, the film's journey was extremely arduous.
		With interest in Malcolm X growing, especially among younger fls in the 1980's, Spike Lee publicly complained that the movie should be made by a fl film maker.

		Based on Malcolm X's autobiography (as told to Alex Haley), Malcolm X stars Denzel Washington as the eponymous freedom fighter, and through an exceedingly deft use of flashbacks, it tells the whole story of the man's life.
		It is fueled by a towering, charismatic performance by Denzel Washington as Malcolm X (Washington had previously played Malcolm in the early 1980s in an off-Broadway play, When the Chickens Come Home To Roost).
		The 2nd disc is packed with extras including the original Malcolm X Documentary from the 70's and various behind the scenes featurettes and extras including commentary and interviews with everyone except Denzel Washington (Sadly).

	Malcolm X (1992): Reviews
		Lee means for Malcolm X to be an epic, and it is in its concerns and its physical scope.
		A mortal movie about an immortal subject and the very fact that it succeeds as well as it does is a testament to Lee's skills as a filmmaker.
		Spike Lee's colaboration with Denzel Washington to make the movie was not only a smart movie move but also a smart political move as an actor with Denzel's capicity was necessary to acurately depict Malcolm X with all the white hot fires of ambition and greatness flowing through his veins.

		Denzel Washington gives an extraordinary performance, and with heart he shows the metamorphosis of Malcolm X, from hip young kid, to his life of crime days, to when he was a white-hating civil rights leader.
		Movies are never good as the book, but its good to see a visual.

		Malcolm, who achieved fame in the early sixties as a compelling spokesman for the fl-pride philosophy of the Nation of Islam, is an unlikely hero for a big-studio prestige picture: he begins as a predatory street criminal, becomes a studious Muslim ascetic, and fulfills himself as a scourge.
		His approach isn't radical enough to give shape and coherence to Malcolm's internal conflicts; and the ponderous rhythms of the great-man bio-pic only emphasize the impossibility of rendering this story with conventional movie-narrative means.
		The phone that Malcolm uses in his hotel room appears to be the correct vintage - except for the modular plug connecting the handset to the base.
