Spike Lee sometimes gets a bad rep for pushing hard for his projects and for his opinions on race relations in America, but there is no questioning the fact that he reached a masterstroke with his film Malcolm X. the film went a long way to establishing the revered activist as one of the most intelligent, if crude, human beings that ever lived.
Denzel Washington’s performance is sublime, as we witness the transformation Malcolm X went through, via Mr. Washington’s smart and poignant decisions about his character. His rendition of Malcolm X is much more than your average caricature of a famous person. His talent allowed the audience to forget Denzel as a man and witness the birth and rebirth of Malcolm X on screen. This is another must watch for acting students and future directors alike.
