... That movie was Malcolm X. Spike Lee, the director captured the essence of the controversial figure in our history, by showing the more intellectual side of Malcolm X and his ability to stand up to oppression without breaking a sweat. ... In his epic trip to Mecca( the Muslim Holy land) Malcolm’s viewpoint as a radical Muslim changed to love and respect to all. ... Denzel Washington who portrayed Malcolm X, made you believe that he was Malcolm and that you were alive at the time to witness his famous events.
The reason I admired and appreciated this movie was that it gave me as well as other young African American males hope in the belief that we could succeed and achieve power if we put our mind to it. Malcolm overcame obstacles such as being in foster homes, a hustler and thief to even spending a substantial time in prison. ...
In my mind, one scene in the movie soared above the rest. Malcolm’s Muslim associate, Brother Johnson, was beaten severely by white police officers and taken in to custody.
