Malcolm X technical review (mentions scenes from movie)

Rating: 9/10 (7 December 2014)

Malcolm X was a very well thought out film. Everything that was put into the film had a purpose. If the film is looked into deeper than just what is seen, then you will also see that film was technically significant. A lot of technical aspects were put into the film to make it visually appealing, and spike lee did a great job in that aspect. In the scene where Malcolm and shorty are playing in the park, the scene begins with the camera floating directly above Malcolm and Shorty. and moving all the away above while lowering eye level to Malcolm's face. It was a long shot added just so the viewer sees the effort made in to putting together this film. Another reoccurring aspect of the film is when the color would change to black and white. The color would change when switching from on shot to another. When the white man comes to Malcolm's house, thy threw Molotov cocktails through the windows and the house caught fire. the camera crew came there and that's when the color changed to black and white. any time the color changes, that's when the camera crew would be following Malcolm at that time, not he camera crew from the Filmer's of the movie but the camera crew with the paparazzi and all that. spike lee did this because he wanted to put the viewer back in Malcolm's time where they did not have color television or anything like that. This was a great must see film
