The Birth of an African American, Reivew on Malcolm X

This is a manifestation of mainstream liberal values in the United States, and a 90s interpretation of the radical movement in the 1960s. Although the front of the film has a very detailed portrayal of the internal aspects of the black movement, it is a pity that the film finally closed its various meanings in a mainstream ideological way, announcing the birth of "African Americans". Blacks themselves could not establish their own country as X hoped, so "African Americans" who had a willingness to compromise with their own desire to establish a "national state" were born and were included in mainstream American society. To put it bluntly, it is like in ancient China that the people of Chu, Baiyue, Zhu Miao, and later Hu Di were all surrendered to the Chinese civilization of the Central Plains. After the black people compromised with the white ruling class, they accepted the white American values and became After the Americans, there has been Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jordan, and the "very American" black celebrities such as Michael Jackson we are familiar with. This film also illustrates the limitations of identity politics. Does the liberation of blacks have to be based on uniting all so-called blacks? We also saw the result. To put it far, the shots of this biopic itself are better than the mainstream biopics about American celebrities. Denzel Washington can be said to act Mr. X alive, which is a pinnacle of his acting career. In addition, the Mecca scene is really a great spectacle in film history~
