The Evil Version!
Nah. This was good!
They all interacted with each other great, especially Malcolm and Cooke.
Ali spilling the beans on Jims movie career.
"What should we call you?"
"You will now REFER to me as Cassius X!"

shyt trash.
They just new nikka’d 4 Black American male icons that can’t speak for themselves anymore.
“Sam Cooke” talks shyt about Elijah Muhammad in “Malcolm’s” face, talking bout he ain’t do nothing about the pimps and pushers in Chicago (which is complete bullshyt) and “Malcolm” responds by playing a fukkin Bob Dylan song.
fukk outta here with this bullshyt.
Thinly veiled NOI hit piece, from that bullshyt convo between “Malcolm and Betty” about Farrakhan, to FOI actually letting “Jim Brown”put his hands on Malcolm.
Absolutely ridiculous.

It was pretty blatant too. And made by a sister too.
Not really. When you see that type of southern landscape with the giant house being the only thing for miles...its only a matter of time.Dude said "you know we dont allow ni###s in the house."
That shyt came outa nowhere like a drone strike!
It was just how casually he threw that shyt out there.Not really. When you see that type of southern landscape with the giant house being the only thing for miles...its only a matter of time.
Then patted Jim on the chest.
That's a myopic way to look at it.
I don't know if that's how Cooke felt about Blowin in the Wind when it was released, but Cooke covered it and said it inspired him to write A Change Is Gonna Come.
The movie mostly takes place over the course of 1 night on February 25th, 1964. We're seeing the NOI in this story mostly from Malcolm's perspective. Even though it's a fictional account, it's true that at that point in time Malcolm's view of Elijah Muhammed and the NOI wasn't good and that he was looking to bounce. It's true that Elijah Muhammed was sleeping with various Nation secretaries, and it's true that Muhammed wasn't allowing Malcolm to work publicly with other civil rights leaders like MLK. Again, this is just one point in time. 5 years prior to that - when the NOI was skyrocketing to prominence, Malcolm's view of the NOI would've been entirely different.
I'm not stupid.
I know why it was written and I know what they're trying to do.
Why is Betty and Malcolm talking about Farrakhan in the 1st place?
Why is that important to the movie?
And it's NOT a fact that Elijah Muhammad slept with anyone besides his wife.
Anybody seen the play? Is it much different?
If not, the portrayals of Sam and Malcolm have been out there for a while and has NOI or Cooke estate said anything about it?

Regina aint on Ava level but I like her camera work, lighting, etc. Movir was good but they just picked thr wrong actors for Sam and Malcolm. I felt Jim Brown and Malcolm way more then anything in their sam and Malcom verzuz battle. These actors just couldn't bring the description to life like they should have. Sam will now be known as Sam c00n 
That was the thing to me that kept it from being great. I liked the dialogue between the actors. But It also seemed liked a NOI hit piece.. This night was supposedly a year before Malcolm was killed so I guess Regina and the studios were trying to paint things from Malcolm's perspective I guess but it didn't paint the NOI in a good light at all..
