  • Spike Lee's new film about Malcolm, the most awesome black people political leader in the United States, has aroused a strong response since its screening in the United States. Spike Lee pointed out that big Hollywood companies have different funding for white people and black people filmmakers. What made the manager of "Malcolm X" production company Warner Bros. Pictures disturbed was several parts of the film itself, including the controversial opening part: a huge American flag appeared on the screen. There was a voiceover Malcolm discussing racial equality. At this time, the flag slowly exploded, and the raging flame formed a letter X.

      Malcolm X

      Melken (Denzel Washington) was born in a black-and-white intermarried family. His father is a black priest and his mother is an unbiased white man. But at that time, the racial conflicts in the United States intensified, and the KKK often harassed his family, sowing the seeds of revenge in his young heart. After Milken grew up, he wandered into the streets and bars, and even got into bad habits such as drugs and theft. By chance, Melken met Sophia, a white woman, but the love died due to racial...

      We don't see any American Dream. We've experienced only the American Nightmare!

      Adapted from the autobiography of Malcolm X. Producer Marvin Worth got the right to adapt as early as 1967-two years after the assassination of Malcolm X and the publication of his autobiography. Worth completed an Oscar-nominated documentary in 1971, but the feature film has been delayed for various reasons, and the two participating screenwriters have also passed away. In the late 1980s, a wave of Malcolm's thoughts quietly surged, and the sales of books about him repeatedly hit record highs....

      Documentary works of famous political actors and actresses

      Yes, I ended up with the character Malcolm X through this movie, otherwise I don't know anything about this person. Mainly about Malcolm X's efforts and achievements through fighting for the rights of black Americans. However, his social development was led by the imam of Islam. Later, when he developed a disagreement with Imam Muhammad, he wanted to lead his followers along his own thoughts and move forward according to his original intention, but in form, The Islam that Malcolm X serves or...

      Zhang Chengzhi: The real person is X

      In 1987, in my novel "Golden Ranch", I not only exaggeratedly praised Martin Luther King, a nonviolent member of the African American civil rights movement, but also falsely praised American Puritanism. The "American Dream" involved in this book, the chopped-out Dvorak symphony, and a serious talk about Columbus are all superficial and unforgivable.
         
         This is frustrating. It makes people feel: the world is so complicated, knowing it is like a blind person touching an elephant....

      Sincere selfishness is great love

      I noticed that these things are what I like. I have always been sensitive to what I like. Anthony Minghella, who died of tonsil cancer, once resonated with me for a long time. His moving way is so powerful. Excited, like the hot North African desert under his lens, glowing like fire. After watching Spike Lee’s "Malcolm X", you can experience a more restrained emotion, which is evenly dispersed in the film length of more than 3 hours. Only by patiently appreciating the whole body can you touch...

      I actually shed tears in the end; I feel that many so-called "white epic" films are really worth mentioning, including some unpopular...

      One of Li's peak masterpieces, the first half is dramatic (like a gangster type film) and the second half is realistic (the processing method of black and white documentaries), a large segment of speech scenes and debate scenes, extensive use of interlude techniques, and in-depth transformation of X's thinking Show, closely linked to his theory of Islam and unscrupulous violence, showing the rare depth of a biopic, the final hint of the drama is extremely exciting, and many details suggest that...

      Give it all to Denzel Washington, I'm really unfamiliar with Malcolm, because I don't know, those religious speeches always seem a little empty but I can feel the impassioned feeling, but Denzel Washington's performance of the characters is too good, and finally It's amazing to invite Mandela to...

      Were all black Muslim brothers so handsome back then? After Malcolm converted, his aura was full, and he was not an order of magnitude handsome. However, the more I watched the whole movie, the more distressed it became, and the ending was so...
