Spike Lee's version is way better than this version. This one would put somebody to sleep! Both Morgan and Denzel are gr8 actors, but give me Spike Lee's any day! Plus, Mr. Washington even looked like him. May he rest in peace.
Quick question: Who are rge REAL racists ?? Why isn't there a National Association for the Advancement of White People ? Why no WHITE history month ? Why no WHITE congressional caucus ? Why the hell no United WHITE College Fund...for WHITE minds ONLY ? Affirmative Action is BULLSHIT !! If the blacks can't read enough to pass a test, they shouldn't be given preferrence !! Why don't WHITE people RIOT and destroy their own cities ? Screw U
Why do people compare the two movies??? This one was made 10yrs before, and on a budget less than half of that of Spike Lee's movie. Even Spike couldn't get Hollywood execs to make his movie in 91, so you know this movie was going to be low budget. There's no comparison!! Of Course Spike and Denzel's movie is better!
I think that Elijah Muhhammed life was threaten, since he was the Leader of the NOI..Malcom was his voice, Elijah didn't want to become the dead man. Malcom wasn't trying to be quiet for something he believed in deeply he formed his own Nation. He was going to take the nation of Islam to another level. If you really look at it. Malcom laid his life down for the NOI in the fight for Justice, for Black people dealing with oppression, Jews as well as Gentiles...
In the 1960s our brothers and sisters were hanged how can you gang bang, I ain't never had to run from the Ku Klux Klan and I shouldn't have to run from a black man - Self Destruction
based on the clips of Malcolm X that I have seen, I think Denzel did a better job of characterising Malcolm. Though I still think Morgan Freeman is a good actor.
Yes friend this is why Jesus called the pharisees of his day hypocrites, vipers and false religious leaders. They were more concerned with projecting an outward appearance of phony righteousness then having a right heart with God. Listen, false religions with destroy UR life.Jesus said the Kingdom of God is at hand so repent and believe the Gospels. In the Gospel of John 3.Jesus says you MUST be born again to see the Kingdom of God. Don't be deceived- Repent & believe on Jesus the Son of God
The NOI teaches Islam and the followers are muslims. Islam means peace and the NOI has minimal to no record of violence in it's history. Muslim means to submit to the will of God and the NOI members submit; all members take the Shahada; The NOI primary religious book is the Qu'ran; they adhere to the 5 principles of Islam (Belief in one God/Allah, Salat, fasting, zakat and Hajj to mecca). To confirm attend Jummah, Mosque Mariam. The NOI is still the NOI and under Farrakhan's guidance.
Love Morgan Freeman, a great actor he is, but c'mon man, they couldn't cut his hair? I can't even focus on Freeman's acting because the afro is distracting.
This movie is actually called The Death of a Prophet: Last Days of Malcolm X Dir. by Woodie King Jr. so obscure that in most filmographies about Mr. Freeman this film needs to be added
Yolanda King must have been the most humble woman in the world. She participated in a movie spotlighting a man who often called her father a uncle tom sale out and a weak leader.
@scottmaster100 I learn something new practically everyday on utube, I had no idea. I never would have thought Malcolm X would apololgize to anybody as solid minded as he was.
@khussett Because Denzel looked the part, Morgan doesn't. In some parts he looks like Frederick Douglas. And Maloclm X never had that bad ass afro, either.
@sdseals2076 ya true Denzel look like Malcolm X then Morgan did, and your right about that whole Afro thing,where the hell did they did that Malcolm had a afro that big ? lol
Honestly Morgan Freeman probably did a great job by the standards of that time and era of tv. My question is who has the best assassination scene comparing both and including the Malcolm X role in Will Smith's Ali movie?
I wish Morgan did more of these roles. Instead he became the Hollywood House Negro, playing roles that are always the sidekick, the servant, or a Black man always cheerleading for the White hero.
Let some other black actors play the roles that challenge the archetype of the black buddy or drug addict. I believe it's getting better. But that's just me.
who would bennefit from Malcolm being killed...whoever ....they thought wrong.The nation of islam taught wrong,Islam is for all human beings,thee is no diety worthy of worship except for Allah and Muhammad is His messenger .not Elijah nor Fard Muhammad
Great Man - A real legend. He put his life on the line for the sake of his peoples freedom and Human rights. The influence Islam played in the struggle for freedom 1400 years ago and in the modern era is paramount and is what its all about - Peace and Justice for all mankind. Possibly the main reason they had to pull to the plug is because he was a great speaker and was a muslim. A shame as we lost the only real leader of the 21st century that truly stood for something great and Inspiring. RIP
so with your logic you are saying the same thing as "you can't judge wether a movie is good or bad because you can't make a better movie yourself", that's absurd and ignorant, lazyminded response. Obviously they didn't do they best they could, I don't know about the performance cuz I havent seen it, but as for how he looked, was nothing like Malcom, and he didn't even resemble him in the first place. Stop bitching
haha. No I just meant lazyminded cuz many people rationalize in an irational way. When you for instance say you don't like a movie and you probably gotten a response like "well you can't make a better one yourself!", which is totally irrelevant and crazy, and your comment was along those lines, that's way I gave that example to get my point across. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go play
Oh, so you WHERE in the room when they decided his assassination ? ((If they did)) not that I'm with them or anything but you can't just throw accusations.
Look I know he said some stuff about Elijah Mohammed before being killed but still we can NEVER be TOO sure there's always something in between the lines.
Its evident that spike lee used this as a reference. It's really the exact same scene. Spike's was better. R.I.P Minister Malcolm. I hope that people who think Malcolm was a racist know they are wrong. I believe he was tainted by the NOI views until his trip to Mecca where he learned that Islam has many faces. I am not Muslim, but I have friends that are and they are not the way tv portrays them.
Though poorly presented, It served a purpose of introducing the next generation to Malcolm X. Spike was able to expand our minds and pay X the proper big screen treatment. Neither film was perfect but Lee's film painted a stronger picture of the fallen leader.
u gotta understand spike useed this as reference. that maybe the 1st attempt at it. EVEN SPIKE LEE HAD TO ASK FOR TONS OF MONEY AND FAVORS TO DO THE FILM. IT ALMOST GOT SHUT DOWN 3 TIMES
a black man kills another out of ignorance and self hatred. if he shot the ones who have done him harm he wouldn't be able to get the gun in the first place. WE WILL WAKE UP!
It's almost as if Morgan arrived late to the set and there was no time to give him a haircut and shave. It looks so half assed. All they had to do was clean up the beard, and give him a haircut.
Yes this version is very weak compared to the Spike Lee version (which was almost flawless; maybe it's just the difference in technology). The version from the movie ALI was great as well, although it was a little less detailed.
This was unexpected and this was a meeting in a ballroom, police are not usually there, especially in the 1960s. even nowadays if you had some meeting there would be no security inside with you. Just maybe.. in the lobby. Also.. the guy came out of nowhere and shot him, though he was shot even more by others. AGAIN UNEXPECTED. :(
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
WTF is going on with the audio in this video!??
I think this has GOT TO BE the VERY worst audio that I have ever experience while trying to watch (...and listen to..) a video on youtube!!!
I know that you probably got this movie recorded or converted from vhs to dvd to be able to put it on the computer, but still you could have done a thousand times better than this!!
that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Can you give me one example where hollywood has had white people portray a black man? Or anybody of a different race portray someone of another race for that matter? Oh yeah I forgot they actually had Tom Cruise play Gandhi in the Gandhi movie. Wait...No they didn't.
Ben Kingsley played Ghandi in 1982. Some of the better known examples of whites passing for black include: 2003s The Human Stain, Anthony Hopkins plays an African-American academic who has been "passing;" Elia Kazans 1949 Pinky, is a light-skinned black played by white actress Jeanne Crain; 1959s Imitation of Life has white Susan Kohner playing a black woman. The groundbreaking Birth of a Nation had whites playing blacks. We wont even go into the Tarzan movies.
Hollywood also gave us Angelina Jolie playing African Mariane Pearl, a white man playing a Chinese Charlie, a white David Carradine playing Kwai Chang Caine in the Kung Fu television series, Boris Karloff playing the title role in "Mask of Fu Manchu." These examples are only the tip of the iceberg.
Hmm. Ok, you did prove me wrong. However if you give me some movies that I have actually heard of, and not movies with "fu manchu" in the title, then I'll keep my mouth shut. And the dude who played Gandhi looked pretty indian to me.
Heard of the James Bond movie, Dr. No (1962), starring Sean Connery with white actor Joseph Wiseman playing the Chinese title role? Heard of the "Birth of a Nation" where African Americans were played by whites in blackface? How about another "Fu Manchu" starring white actor Chistopher Lee, but the fact remains Hollywood is a racist society where film makers have a history of casting whites as non-whites as talented Black, Asian and Latino actors fight for the few roles open to them.
I think Ben Kingsley who played Gandhi is Jewish. He was white and definitely not Indian. They would never get a 'brown' face as the lead character in a movie sigh :/
muslims have been treated foe the honesty, peace, truthfulness and standing up since tome started ..

Yes this version is very weak compared to the Spike Lee version (which was almost flawless; maybe it's just the difference in technology). The version from the movie ALI was great as well, although it was a little less detailed.

and about the police...
they did arrive soon after :\
This was unexpected and this was a meeting in a ballroom, police are not usually there, especially in the 1960s. even nowadays if you had some meeting there would be no security inside with you. Just maybe.. in the lobby. Also.. the guy came out of nowhere and shot him, though he was shot even more by others. AGAIN UNEXPECTED. :(

why the fuck does Morgan Freeman have a mini afro? they could have atleast gave him a haircut or something, then he'd look a lot more like Malcolm X.
I know he is a great actor and all.. but the hair just bothers me, in reference to Malcolm X.

The nation of Islam killed him because he became Sunii instead of listening to the words of elijah Mohammad.

I was just pointing this out to someone the otherday. I think it was "Geronimo" or something.
Anyway, the only idian who didn't have blue eyes was "Wes Studi".
That was so funny!

Morgan Freeman should have chopped the fro' down. He knew better!

WTF is going on with the audio in this video!??
I think this has GOT TO BE the VERY worst audio that I have ever experience while trying to watch (...and listen to..) a video on youtube!!!
I know that you probably got this movie recorded or converted from vhs to dvd to be able to put it on the computer, but still you could have done a thousand times better than this!!

I think Spike Lee's version was better than this one.

that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Can you give me one example where hollywood has had white people portray a black man? Or anybody of a different race portray someone of another race for that matter? Oh yeah I forgot they actually had Tom Cruise play Gandhi in the Gandhi movie. Wait...No they didn't.

Ben Kingsley played Ghandi in 1982. Some of the better known examples of whites passing for black include: 2003s The Human Stain, Anthony Hopkins plays an African-American academic who has been "passing;" Elia Kazans 1949 Pinky, is a light-skinned black played by white actress Jeanne Crain; 1959s Imitation of Life has white Susan Kohner playing a black woman. The groundbreaking Birth of a Nation had whites playing blacks. We wont even go into the Tarzan movies.

Ben Kingsley is half-Indian so its not a stretch for him to be playing Gandhi.

Hollywood also gave us Angelina Jolie playing African Mariane Pearl, a white man playing a Chinese Charlie, a white David Carradine playing Kwai Chang Caine in the Kung Fu television series, Boris Karloff playing the title role in "Mask of Fu Manchu." These examples are only the tip of the iceberg.
jmsatty 3 years ago
Hmm. Ok, you did prove me wrong. However if you give me some movies that I have actually heard of, and not movies with "fu manchu" in the title, then I'll keep my mouth shut. And the dude who played Gandhi looked pretty indian to me.
K11duds 3 years ago
Heard of the James Bond movie, Dr. No (1962), starring Sean Connery with white actor Joseph Wiseman playing the Chinese title role? Heard of the "Birth of a Nation" where African Americans were played by whites in blackface? How about another "Fu Manchu" starring white actor Chistopher Lee, but the fact remains Hollywood is a racist society where film makers have a history of casting whites as non-whites as talented Black, Asian and Latino actors fight for the few roles open to them.

I think Ben Kingsley who played Gandhi is Jewish. He was white and definitely not Indian. They would never get a 'brown' face as the lead character in a movie sigh :/
Mohsin77 3 years ago
Not only he was indian but he was from the same province as gandhi, btw there are non white jews in India.
although in a country where aryan means northern indian and persian being nordic is overrared
