Inside the Making of Malcolm X 

I still don’t understand how this movie didn’t win an Oscar.

Malcolm X is Spike Lee's greatest masterpiece and is my favorite film.

One of the best films of all times about one of the greatest leaders & martyrs of all times. I love Malcolm so much. I felt his spirit through Denzel. I truly feel Malcolm was right there with Denzel. That brother was anointed.

He played him so well I believed he was Malcolm X

My top 5 movies of all time. Can’t get enough of this film. An instant classic that should’ve won Denzel an Oscar.

May Allah grant Malcolm X the highest place in Jannat el firdous and and may our lord Ar rahman be pleased with him and allow him to be beside the best people in Jannah ameen. Rest in peace sir.

Denzel is perfect for this role. I didn't even know there was a movie about Malcolm X

The movie was great, but read the Autobiography of Malcolm X. There’s a lot the movie doesn’t touch on.

Malcolm was a human rights fighter. He always emphasized that so it’s important that the media and other gets that correct.

My favourite movie I cried like a baby when they killed him at the end

Very good movie. Denzel Washington a great actor.

Spike and Denzel did that!!!

They should've given Mr Denzel Washington an Oscar for every role he played, the actor that will never be repeated...... I've enjoyed a million percent of every movie he made..... He's unique

This wasn't a "civil rights biopic" it was a human rights biopic. Malcolm wanted equality among the one race, the human race. He was the greatest orator and figure of the 20th century.

Denzel not winning an oscar for this but for Training day is still beyond me.

Denzel got robbed of an Oscar. Hands down, his best performance in his career

One of the best orators of the last century, or any century, for that matter.

Denzel became Malcolm X

It’s sad to say but we are still fighting the same ppl about the same problems. 😂

If you love true cinema, perfect lighting, beautiful skin tones, and extras who played their part so well you can’t forget them this is the movie for you. Never forget Brother Minister Malcolm X. Every household should have the book and movie.

Denzel channeled Malcolm.

One of my fav movies by Spike Lee

One of the greatest films in cinema history. Denzel Washington was absolutely phenomenal in the role! He didn't play Malcolm X He became Malcolm X. Spike Lee direction is impeccable too. 10/10 for me!!!!! Absolutely excellent film.

In my top 5 movies of all time

That was a Great move it shows the history of Malcom X

Compromise with America is impossible

A father ,an activist , a preacher , may allah grant him the highest place in heaven

Such a leader charisma finess they were afraid of him

VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS MOVIE IT TOLD ME WHO THIS MAN WAS AND IS.

An excellent film !

Oasie Davies Malcolm is finnaly getting the love he truely deserves im reading the comments on his interviews and debates and the abundance of comments saying how brave how intelligent how much of a great man he is would warm your heart BUT things still haven't changed were a looooong way from change

Denzels resemblance to X in the mannerisms & the way they speak in uncanny if you listen to Malcom X speech with eyes closed it sounds like denzel

Watching this mow on new yr eve 2023..

So.. the man in prison asks "What's your name?" And the answer was some name. The man replies "No, that's not your name, that's what your slave master gave you"... in another argument, some say that your name doesn't make you but you make the name. Malcolm X himself was a great example for this. He chose his last name to be simply "X" and it was him who gave that simple letter a meaning.

Spike Lee should also make a movie on geronimo pratt's

Mr. Washington perfect actor ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

When it comes to leadership Malcolm was the equal of anyone in his era.

Great 🎬 movie

It’s weird because Spike looks a lot like Malcolm X, except when it comes to height. Denzel is a legend

It seems like they banned this movie. I cannot find this anywhere. Not even in Netflix. Very Sad.

0:35 YOU'ALL DEFINITELY DROPPED THAT BALL ON THIS MOVIE IN ONE MAJOR WAY, SPIKE MADE ONE OF THE GREATEST AND MOST IMPORTANT MOVIES OF ALL TIME DURING THE WRONG TIME!!!??? IF THEY WOULD HAVE MADE AND RELEASED MALCOLM X FROM 2005 TILL 2016 THIS MOVIE WOULD HAVE WON MULTIPLE OSCARS PLUS MANY OTHER AWARDS AND WOULD HAVE RECEIVED MYRIAD RECOGNITION!!!

Denny did a wonderful great job on this film portraying Malcolm X so did Angela as X's wife Betty Malcolm led the civil rights for us blacks, I always think that he's compared to another one of our black heroes, MLK.

I knew of malcolm before but little did I know what he did and the change he made and hope he gave, as a muslim i feel so proud to believe in allah and this religion and his story really touched my heart, may god give him heaven as he is not just a martyr but a soldier of god and a voice of all of those who feel oppressed and don't have freedom and justice. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Malcolm X is pride for Black all over the world

Rip ozzie and ruby

I’ve always wanted to ask Spike if he can get extra footage not used in the scenes shot in the Diplomat Hotel? Scenes were ballroom dance, teen fundraiser dance scene, assignation scene. Love to see what it was like in that building!

wow

Doesn’t show any Hotel Diplomat footage!

Wow

Thomas Hagan is still alive

Omg Denzel Washington looks like how he did In Philadelphia

رحمة الله عليه Thank allah for the grace of Islam

ET phone home!

The whole Oscar think is exposed here cause if this film couldn't win an Oscar then no film should.

Yet we dont see any teachings or people living from what we learned from MLK Or X!

إيش اسم الفلم هذا

They give oscars for outstanding acting performances, Denzel’s acting was good in the sense that he portrayed Malcom well and for a movie like this the story is more important than the acting. That’s why Denzel didn’t get an Oscar. However, Training day, the acting was exceptional, in fact Training day wouldn’t be the same movie without Denzel’s acting. The lesson here is that just because we have been entertained doesn’t mean it deserves an Oscar.

What’s the name of the movie

White people took offense to this movie and started wearing a confederate flag shirt that said You wear your X and I'll wear mine.

Do you want to be friends

Spike Lee is the wrong person to make that move

They talk the same and look just alike 😳😳😳😳😳

....... By any means necessary

How are you

Why didn't spike lee go back to the original church that malcolm x funeral was held and film there what was the reason for not filming in the original church. Faith temple church of God in christ bishop Alvin A. Childs pastor. Also the Mayor of Harlem at the time . Bishop Childs said yes to holding malcolm x funeral at faith temple upon doing so Bishop childs and his family were threatened needed police protection . Bishop childs son Alvin childs jr. Said of his father believed God would protect and shield them. So why not come back to the original church and film. malcolm x wife Betty Shabazz always returned with her daughters to say thank Bishop childs and faith temple church of God in christ . Later renamed Child's memorial temple church of God in christ. So my question is how come spike Lee didn't come . This question was asked by my uncle Bishop norman Nelson Quick years ago he nor Bishop childs are here today so I'm asking the question. Why not come back to the original church. The church is no longer standing location was Amsterdam Avenue between 147 and 148 Harlem ny. Spike Lee please give an answer. My Uncle Bishop norman Nelson Quick wanted to know. I sat in his office that's what he told me I'm asking.

Imagine Spike Lee doing a Biography Movie about a rapper

If I Been There If I Seen A Iranian Police Killing Those Assassins When They Try Kill Malcom X I Will So Happy When This Man Alive!

Hiiiiiiiiiii

Why it didn't win a oscar?? It did with black people who know there history!! This movie was great imo past any award that can be given. Just shows us why we as people can't never be on the same page with the end goal being the same!!

2nd comment

Malcom X is a horrible movie, I wonder how the black movements let S.Lee realize it, is a shame for all the African-American people, in my opinion.
