Rating: Summary: ...what films and media are for. Review: Show business and the film industry is brutally selective, and ethnocentric. It is very important that there are more filmmakers and media artists for marginalized people's voices. To all justice seeking artists, "be systematic, and persistent, and do as much as you can, always." Address the source(s) of any problem. As S.Lee has shown, doing true, good work and earning a comfortable income is very doable. Language is a tool. Aside: In the U.S., only two parties could ever be in presidential office. Unless the odds for the other parties become as good, there would be very little or no change in America's domestic or international conflicts. All that is said by these two candidates before election will always be unreliable ------ this is nothing but a show. Suggestion: *1) Allow only equal campaign funding and methods for all official political parties. All political representatives of each district must daily reside in the area they are representing. All public information(or at least the office phone numbers and the dates or websites for minutes/publications) must be made available beside every national, state, and local newspaper box in the country. 2) *Only the popular vote is valid.* Any complication can only be resolved by a total re-casting. Now, could it be any more fair than that?! Red tape serves only the ruling class, since only they make the rules.
Rating: Summary: The Best Movie Ever Made By Spike Lee! Review: Spike Lee did his best with this film. With an excellent choice of Denzel and Angela as Betty, this film truly is an inspiration to all Black and non-Black Muslims such as myself. It truly captivates the beauty of our religion and how one man truly believed in hard work and dedication. The ending was truly the most touching of all and still brings a tear to my eye even today. May the real Malcolm rest in peace. Ameen.
Rating: Summary: One Of The Greatest Historical Dramas Of Our Time. Review: Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" is a riveting masterpiece that's thrilling and emotionally moving and powerful. Lee does a great job capturing Malcolm X as does Denzel Washington in his best performance ever. This is a film that lets us know the character and his times. I also loved the structure of the screenplay and film itself. The first half is noirish with the gangster feel of "Scarface," the second is a riveting historical document like Oliver Stone's "JFK." "Malcolm X" should be shown in schools around America as an educational tool about a man and his era. Malcolm X embodied the struggle of the African-American in America. This is powerful filmmaking at it's best. "Malcolm X" is brutal, powerful, hard-hitting and full of great performances. Not even Lee's recent Summer release, "Summer Of Sam," reaches the level of power and intensity of "Malcolm X." This is one of the greatest films of the decade, a true gem.
