Denzel Was Robbed !!!

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2006)

One of the reasons I love this movie is because of Spike Lee's faithful interpretation of the autobiography. This is easily my favorite Denzel Washington performance !! Angela Bassett is one of the most beautiful women on the planet !!! BLAST YOU COURTNEY VANCE !!! YOU STOLE MY WOMAN !!!
Lee tells the story of Malcolm Little from the beginning when his Garveyite father gets lynched and his family separated. We see the "Detroit Red" days as well as what I call Malcolm's initial "brainwashing" into the Nation Of Islam.
Spike Lee also makes history as one of the only filmmakers to ever be able to document the Muslim "Hajj" or Holy Pilgrimage to Mecca and pulls it off beautifully. It's no wonder that some Orthodox Muslims are among the most spiritually beautiful people In the world. I've witnessed this first hand.
"Malcolm X" would make a great companion to the book written by Alex Haley.
