Malcolm X [DVD] [1992]

I waited long before watching this movie because I didn't want the movie to change my positive impression of the autobiography by Alex Haley. I am pleassd that I read the book before watching the movie. There are many detailed descpriptions in the book that explaines the environment and the era of Malcolm X. The spiritual journey that Malcolm goes through is so simplified that it feels as if he was an "easy target" and easily influenced by one man's words (the inmate in prison). I strongly recommend reading the book before watching the film, simply because films can't compete with books when it comes to portraying a character. Denzel's interpretation of Malcolm is extraordinary! Such a great actor. Hard to believe he did this role early on in his carrier.

I found this a very interesting biography.It is very long, on two discs, okay to binge watch on a spare evening or afternoon.It arrived when expected.

Brilliant film. It is in two parts as long film and on the second disc you have the documentary which features the real Malcolm X. I will not tell you anything that is in the film as you really must buy it to see the outstanding performance by Denzel Washington as Malcolm X.

Great movie in which you view the early life of Malcolm x prior to his conversion to Islam. The coverage of his earlier years in terms of his degenerative social activities and crimes committed by young Malcolm was very captivating; prior to his transformation, after he accepted Islam and embarked upon his new path before he rallies for change for black America. A must watch for those not too familiar with the late revolutionary national leader.

Great depiction of an historic figure.

I was searching for this DVD for several months and was delighted when it arrived, It was in perfect condition

It could be mistaken as a slight racist but watched and understood as to what was happening at the time in America I'd say it was q good film a true film very realistic
