Malcolm X [DVD] [1992]

This is one of the all time great performances and portrayals of a historical figure by a young Denzel Washington. Denzel is simply immense in this film, and this surely must rank amongst his greatest ever performances. He excellently portrays the life of a truly remarkable and fascinating figure in Malcolm X, going into real detail and giving the viewer a real insight into his life and time period. I would recommend this as essential viewing to anyone interested in Malcolm X, and particularly any students studying this area of Civil Rights, it really will provide a great overview of this period and plenty of detail around the key moments in the life of Malcolm X.

This is a well organized and directed movie with lots of Spectacular scenes, as well as the most beautiful moments done in this particular movie. This movie was one of the best in my opinion made in the format in which I believe, making it the most exciting biographical movies made. With respect to the Original autobiography of “MALCOM X” so yes this movie is a must have.

Solid film about Malcolm X. The video and audio on the Blu-ray is solid. Recommended.

Be sure to watch the Netflix documentary on who killed Malcolm X along with this excellent movie with Denzel Washington at his best. Malcolm X was a dynamic African American leader who dared to expose the hypocrisy of Elijah Muhammad as well as the ugliness of American racism. A dynamic force snuffed out by the Nation of Islam with white U.S. establishment complicit by allowing it to happen.

This movie shows how the life of Malcolm X changed over time, and while many can't overcome some things he said early on, I believe the most important aspect of this movie is that Malcolm X had a profound experience when traveling abroad, that changed his life, and changed his view, and he was committed to speaking the truth, and strong enough to admit his views had changed, so he stood up and owned that in front of the world. That's honor.

The best biography movie ever. Denzel WASHINGTON played his role perfectly. The movie is perfect. In this movie you will get to know about Malcolm X. A Godly MAN, loyal MAN, TRUTHFUL MAN. You NEED this movie for your whole family to watch.
