Its been a while.. I just re-watched Malcolm X

[pete clemenza]

First and foremost, how did Denzel not win the Oscar for this? Its damn near criminal. He literally blacked the fukk from beginning to end in this. His recreating the speeches is eerily similar and right on par with Malcolm himself in tone, passion, and fire. Also Spike didn't sugar coat nor pull any punches in this. They were all on top of the Jews and called the white folks devils from beginning to end. And normally I would get on the director for casting himself in the movie but Spike was actually pretty good in his role as Shorty. Malcolm telling that liberal white broad that they didn't need her help and leaving her stuck on stupid was I doubt a movie/biopic like this gets made today. Too many whites and Jews would scream out bloody murder. I've seen this movie numerous times of course but it really hits its stride and tone in today's climate with all that's going on. Delroy Lindo was phenomenal. Angela Basset, Kate Vernon(white girl), Al Freeman, Albert Hall, etc.. all phenomenal! Spike did it with this one. The Academy hated

[H. Selassie]

GOAT biopic

No way his portrayal of Detective Alonzo Harris was heavier than this

 

[Erratic415]

Training Day was his makeup award, he should have won for Malcolm X. That year they gave it to Al Pacino, the Academy gave Al his makeup/lifetime award. He hadn't won before.

 

[AnonymityX1000]

There was a lot of anticipation for this movie and Spike stuck the landing.

 

[YOLO_JONES]

get yo hand outta my pocket!

 

[Dad]

I thought you were smart. But you're just another one of those cats strutting down the avenue in your clown suit with all that mess on you! Looking like a monkey! The white man sees you and laughs. He laughs because he knows you ain't white!

 

[Remote]

Denzel IS Malcolm

That's his defining role.

 

[Ziggiy]

Denzel and Spike were BOTH robbed

 

[Vandelay]

When it comes to the Academy, the nomination is the award. The Oscar itself is just an amalgamation popularity contest/lifetime achievement/social awareness award.

 

[Germms]

Man I never watched it and I regret waiting so late.

 

[Robbie3000]

My favorite movie.

Denzel and Spike both deserved Oscars for this movie.

I was watching the Doc on Netflix and Spike got everything right I’m this movie down to the casting.

 

[Paper Boi]
