Much has been said about the 1992 film, so I’ll concentrate on the extras. First of all, the widescreen is not so wide that it makes you squint to ogle it. It’s at a profitable porportion. But the edited scenes are really racy. We notice previously unseen footage of Denzel as Malcolm courting Angela Bassett as Betty Shabazz (in a rather touching arrangement) . We peek Denzel/Malcolm putting an originate through the rigors in an comic fashion, we glance him studying and feeding his hunger for books while in jail, and we witness some consuming scenes of Denzel/Malcolm making anti-racist and pro-brotherhood statements come the extinguish of his life to a young white girl and an Arab he meets in Mecca. A lot of people who miss the point about Malcolm’s transformation should eye those scenes (which actually appear in the new book) .
(Petite complaint, the stuff about the Sphinx’s shaded nose being shot off by Napoleon is a bunch of BS that didn’t happen, even Molefi Asante admitted this on 60 minutes a few years ago. So it’s impartial as well that that scene was not included in the unusual film) .

Also, “Baines” was actually John Bembry, aka Bimbi, who encouraged Malcolm to read in prison. It was actually Malcolm’s actual life brothers who really introduced him to the Nation of Islam teachings. Not a complaint, impartial a clarification.
There is also an top-notch documentary about the making of this film. A steady Horatio Alger type narrative of how Spike beat the odds through dogged determination to raise the money to fabricate the film the plot he felt it needed to be made. It was dusky to realize that the film was not as current as hoped among young people upon it’s intitial release and the “Malcolmania” of the early 90s turned out to be a fad, but at least this DVD will give people the opportunity to learn from Malcolm’s narrative.
Then there is the uncut 1972 documentary “Malcolm X. The raw, uncut Actual Malcolm talking strong and taking numbers! This is a brilliantly edited collection of chronological clips of Macolm, Elijham Muhammad, the young Louis Farrakhan, and all the other major players into an generous biography without additional narration. It lets the viewer choose in an excellet fashion.
So spy the 1992 movie, then the “making of” documentary, then the deleted scenes, and THEN the 1972 documentary and you’ll pick up the next best thing to reading all there is to know about Malcolm X concept. Devour it, I did. College and high school teachers will REALLY want this for their history classes.
One of the most shimmering films ever made. Another reviewer, E. Hazell is good, if maybe even understated in comparing this film with von Sydow’s portrayal of Jesus in “The Greatest Tale Ever Told” and B. Kingsley in “Ghandi”. Without inquire, the portrayal by Denzel Washington of Malcolm X belongs with these two classic efforts.

The screenplay closely follows Alex Haley’s collaboration with Malcolm X on his autobiography, from his early days as a hustler and pimp, to his transformation and his rise to prominence in the Dusky Muslims and beyond. In so doing, it traces considerable of the history of the twentieth century African American experience
As another reviewer so inelegantly (and ungrammatically) place it, Malcolm Shrimp sold drugs and women, robbed and lived in the underworld. However, this recognizes far less than half of this compelling and astounding fable. This beginning was primary only to underscore how far he ultimately came, and leads the viewer to wonder what would have happened had he not been murdered.
Wonderful casting including Angela Bassett as his wife Betty, DelRoy Lindo and particularly Al Freeman Jr. as Elijah Muhammad. It was a rather predictable crime that Spike Lee, Denzel Washington and this film did not dominate the Academy Awards.
