Christopher Plummer. One of my favorite actors of all time. He played Captain Von Trapp in the Sound of Music, but another fantastic role of his can be found in The Scarlet and the Black. I can't recommend it strongly enough
Thanks for pointing this out. We forget sometimes the greatest actors bounce off their costars. I honestly took a moment to realise these guys probably had lunch together on set maybe once or twice. Amazing to think people can slip into the disguise of acting as perfectly as they can pour a cup water and transform into a different person. Consumate professionals at work
Actually, the Oscar's was named after a black man who was originally responsible for creating the awards. That's why they don't want black history taught in schools. They don't want these truths to be known. Black man was traffic lights, black man was blood typing, black man was first automobile, black woman was home security system, black woman was ironing board, black woman performed the first cataract surgery. There are many more.
It was such a dumb argument. They set up this ridiculous discussion. No one knows what color anyone was. Why? No one cared. Only today’s liberals are obsessed with skin color. Definitely, if a liberal had written the Bible today, we would know all about skin color because that’s what they would focus on. Edit: If you want to know what skin color Jesus probably was, just google Jewish people, Middle East. Probably the same color as today’s Muslims.
EXACTLY 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. REVELATIONS 1:14. I can go on and on there’s no debate. Edomites just mad cuz they are heathen and God hates them. So they do everything they can to destroy our people
I just realized that’s Christopher Plummer! Also what Malcolm said reminds me of my fav Bible verse: “God is in heaven and you are on earth! Therefore, let your words be few.” We’re in no position to pass judgment
Definitely should have wanted for the hurricane can't believe they gave it to the perv Kevin Spacey in American beauty and it was terrible Denzel was a 100 times better
We don't know for sure his exact tone but it almost certainly wasn't either Caucasian white or sub-Saharan black. That's not even controversial outside of people imagining it to be.
@@Chicky_Lumps it was olive. It’s not that complicated. The reason he’s portrayed as white in pictures in White countries is the same reason he’s portrayed as black in African countries and Asian in Asian countries. It’s to help people better relate to him.
This is how the Bible describes Jesus.. Look it up.. His hair was pure white like wool, his eyes were like flames, his skin was bronze like a fiery furnace... There's your Biblical description of Jesus
Yes, Jesus is often represented as white in European countries, but there's a bunch of Black Maries and black baby Jesuses scattered around Europe. I don't mean middle-eastern, I mean Sub-Saharan black. There's no way the priest in this clip is anything but a caricature.
I hold Denzel as the standard with Nigel getting the Nod as the best since we saw Denzel. When the world saw Nigel in the parenthood he was looked at as a young look a like of Malcom X easily.
All of our paintings of Jesus are actually paintings of Cesare Borgia. His father was a pope and wanted his son to more or less be the face of the church.
The popular white depiction of Jesus was already in wide use before Cesare Borgia was born. As early as the Middle Ages and particularly during the Renaissance, popular Western artists depicted Jesus as a white man, often with blue eyes and blondish hair.
@@robinsss Lol. It's not good to accept reality...........It's why white supremacy has the highest rates of depression and suicide cause you won't accept the fact that he is black.......and lie to the public and say that he is white. HAHA. Enough said.
yet he still chose to believe in money! he still chose to be controlled and paid by wealthy Ol'Jewish white-men that have the slave chains around every Black person that signed a contract with Hollywood!
I heard the brother from."The Godfather Of Harlem" is even better, but I gotta see more of him. I saw the first season, but he wasn't in it enough for me to be able to say whether he was or wasn't.
Denzel didn't even want it that year. It's crazy how many people are upset over something Denzel wanted Pacino to win. I'm so glad Denzel isn't caught up in all the victim BS. He's a great actor, and an amazing human being. In a 2013 interview with Playboy, Washington revealed that he's actually glad he didn't win the Oscar over Pacino for "Malcolm X." He explained: "The opposite is true. There have been times when I didn't want to win. When Pacino won for 'Scent of a Woman', I was up for 'Malcolm X.' I didn't want to win that time. I would have felt badly. It was Pacino's time. If he hadn't won that one he would have been 0 for 8. I was already 1 for 2 or something. When he won, was 1 for 3, batting .333. I was OK with that."
@@MunnaWill03 dont bring this "Africans are the descendents of Ham" bullshit up, that was literally a justification for slavery. Look at the climate of the Levant, they weren't gonna be blonde regardless
Jesus looked like me.. I’m an American with a white mother and an Iranian father.. Just look at any middle easterner and that’s what color Jesus was.. it’s that simple
Jesus had hair of wool and skin like burn brass. He did not look middle Eastern. He was black as he hid in afraid amongst ancient Africans who were black. He wouldn't be able to hide among them if he weren't black. Also the only people I can think of with woolen hair are black people.
I don't think they do.... Its jus wots been pushed for over 2000years. We all know that ppl in that era on that side of the world wer Egyptian looking. I'd even go as far as saying they were more like wot the ppl around the Mediterranean look like today. Sorry if my English is of a poor standard. English is not my first language. I don't believe Jesus was white. I think he looked more like a brown skin tone, but not fully black. Like I said I personally feel he looked like a dark skinned Italian or Cypriot. But who cares....white black brown. The meaning is all the same. Saviour of the human race. A powerful peaceful inspirational man. Thank you all. And remember GOD loves you regardless of his or your skin tone. We live in a world wer sadly that stuff still matters to ppl. I pray one day it doesn't. Be safe my brothers and... Love all! Trust few!! Hurt none!!!
Except it wasn’t the truth. The “honourable” Elijah Muhammad was a man who slept with teenage girls and had children with some of them. That was why Malcolm x left the NOI.
@@sandeepathwal4188 Pretty sure that the depictions of Jesus are meant to signify a 'divine light', and not actual ethnicity. - but you're referring to South Eastern Europeans, and yes, we've very "white" I'm afraid! 🤣 Under that great equatorial complexion, we both share a little differently! 😉 We're also *very* aware of our history. Its kinda hard to avoid? Given its as much a subject of Orthodoxy and Catholicism, as it is of academia. - I'm not even sure that the protestant west is overly preoccupied with Jesus' ethnicity, tbh. The Census of the era in Roman Judea makes it quite clear whom Jesus, his lineage by that of his parents is on Earth. So among the various Balkan European nations that border the Adriatic and Agean. All of whom had once existed under different names. With different borders. You have families whoms lineages date back, all the way to 500BC and beyond. Thus its not customary to 'push' any narrative. There is no need. - and frankly that all Christians, no matter where they are from; see themselves in Jesus, seems a very fine thing to me. 😊
That will never happen. Because the Oscars are racist. If the show a black person acting in a degrading role as a slave of a slur they have a good chance. But if a black actor acts well playing a leader they will never reward it
The name he lived with for 3 years before he was murdered was, El Hajj Malik El Shabazz. The fact that those of you who think you know something about the Man, but won't call him by His chosen name is just one of many examples y'all can't find solutions to a democratic infrastructure. He had the answers after he returned to the States from his journey through Mecca. The founders of the Black Panthers had the answers after they modified there 10 Point program. Doctor King had the answers, all you gotta do is read the writings on his research before he came in to the public space. Funny how Americans can find things to sooth y'all's anger and hurt, but can't find solutions to a problem these men already mapped out for us 😠 and won't listen to an old dog like me, who has been waiting for the selfless, the courage's, who want to progress humanity, make the babies and the elderly safer, and make the world more fair.
@@darrenpestacchi433 Yes.. The US government ........which is why among other reasons it's going to be destroyed soon by Jehovah's kingdom led by his son Jesus.
I doubt seriously that a Catholic priest told Malcom that Jesus was White (wouldn't be so confident if it were a Southern Baptist preacher from Alabama back then, but I digress). And yes, Denzel was superb in his portrayal.
2000 years of record keeping some 5000ish years old and scientific advancement to improve that theological and biological record keeping and people still think the Catholic Church is the Imperium of Man. These same people are unironically fans of Warhammer 40K.
Wouldn't be one bit surprising to me as it was once called the Roman Catholic Church and it was the Romans who crucified Jesus himself plus they have hidden book that violently oppose other Christians 💯
you completely disrespect him and you should apologize. This level of work should never be given to talent, it was dedication with talent. You embarrass him
It's movies like these that show our people's depth re acting/directing and also Hollywood's inability to fairly acknowledge the same! Denzel and Spike really did us proud in this one!!👏🏾👏🏾
Because some people were pretending he was white to put whites on top. And Because now days they do opposite evils, pretending that people call him white who do not, such as the catholic church. Or saying definitively that he was brown or black
@chalkandcheese The comment was intended for the priest. Brother Malcolm X gave him a direct ice version of KNOWLEDGE... As for MY level of education, I'm ACCREDITED through three institutions currently with an MBA and enrolling for the next level. Blessings ✌🏾
This is a RARE treat. Two of the greatest actors ever - the great *Denzel Washington* and the great late *Christopher Plummer* - in a scene together talking about God, Jesus and Race. I do not know if we will ever see actors of this caliber in a scene of this sort ever again. Thank you, Spike Lee.
It matters alot why can't they accept that the "Lord of the world" can be a non-white person. Anyways I am ex-Christian Muslim so I don't believe he is "Lord of the world" I believe he is a Prophet of Allah, a Messiah, He is one of the five main Prophets along with Prophet Moses pbuh, Prophet Ibrahim pbuh, Prophet Noah pbuh and Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Prophet Jesus Christ pbuh will return in end times to kill the Dajjal(Anti-Christ).
@@Raystruckim not trying to twist your beliefs but you studied one religion and jumped in another this y people will never really know God too caught up on man made books
Denzel is so good he could be a black or white person and he would pull off the role amazingly. i reckon Denzel could play a white jesus with blonde hair and blue eyes and everyone would give a standing ovation that's how fucking awesome denzel is
Y'all are going to make me go into my archives, and pull out Malcolm X. I've always loved when he gestures his eyes at the painting of the "White Dude" and say's "Well that is obvious"🤣🤣🤣... Whew crack's me up everytime I see it.
@@doreyahceasar5687 Well no offense but... The white dude in the painting is just another white dude in the painting when I look at it!!! And I could care less about an illegitimate son of a Pope, or any other Spaniards or Italians, or Borgia's.
@@johndough4289 they not devils because they’re white, they are devils because they have every intention on doing you wrong so they can get in front of you, regardless of any circumstances
@@BatTaz19If you can prove black men come from more fatherless homes than white men I'd be very happy to see if your smart enough to do the research...or even how.
I come in here and was surprised how many people were saying my Name, then I remember my Mom saying she named me after an actor lol I've not seen many people with my Name where I'm from
I'm gone say this n it breaks my heart but Halle berry was a awful actress. We were taught that she was great. She was very very not. That's not her fault so. I wonder if he is the actor from exorcist! The elder priest. BTW that movie messed us up. I wonder if we would know about possession other wise. My mother watched that movie all the time just like poltergeist. Ijs. Braided
What about Leonardo DiCaprio? How many times has he gotten screwed out of an Oscar? He had to let a bear beat the shit out of him to finally win one. Yes I know it's a movie and he's not really getting eaten but he is still getting stepped on and scratched by a huge grizzly. Victim mentality
When Denzel went to the podium that night to present another actor an award, he said this..."EVEN IN DEATH, THEY STILL FEAR THE MAN..." He got a thunderous applause for that, because everyone in that room knew that he'd deserved to win that Oscar... His Oscar came later for the movie "TRAINING DAY..."
@@larrykerr3179 It's crazy they didn't give him the award on a silver platter just for playing a "controversial" role? Sure it was good but pretending he should have got it no matter what is infantilizing. Leo was robbed for years. Are we going to blame it on him being black or playing historical black roles?
Denzel got robbed from Malcolm X ,Fences, American Gangster, Hurricane, John Q, Glory, Preacher Wife, Bone Collector, Falling, He Got Game, Cry Freedom, Devil in Blue Dress, Antwone Fisher, Remember The Titans, A Solider Story, Philadelphia, Flight and The Equalizer pt.1 and Out Of Time...ete.
How would mosa hide in the phaoph house if the ancient Egyptians and Hebrews weren't of same race, mean both the Hebrews and ancient Egyptians kemet were black Africans
You mean that hebrews were supposedly black or white…yeah what a farce for sure! Genetics now prove they were olive to tan just like the Middle East Caucasoids of modern times!
White American: JESUS WAS WHITE!! Black American: JESUS WAS BLACK! Me: Well... Judging for the zone, what in the Middle East, he has more possibility of being light brown, with Dark Hair...but being honest, it could have more probability of being white rather than Black. This is guided for the Zone were SUPPOSEDELY the events of the bible happened... But... We should just love Jesus for his sacrifice, no? His sacrifice for... Humanity?
Ephesians 6: 5-8 doesn't support your claim he loved his "creations". BTW, Modern humans stood up and came out of East Central Africa to populate the earth according to the science used to determine whether someone was at the scene of a crime. So, we're all Africans my white skinned sister.
This is a movie based on Malcolm X. Arguably one of the most important people in the fight for civil rights on par with MLK Jr. Of course it's about race.
@@MemoTea You're absolutely wrong. Maybe in your house you don't care, but Jesus intentionally incorrect portrait over the centuries and specially since the early Renaissance has been a well-debated topic internationally. You're just trying to put the whole world inside your particular ignorance sack.
@@KillerDoc42 white people: let's build churches to honor and worship Jesus and send missionaries to save the souls of the human race. Africans: let's sell our own into slavery, practice human sacrifice and cannibalism, and blame white people for what we did to our own.
@@edluke3415 let’s tell the whole story, not the whyte story. Whyte people” let’s build missionaries to indoctrinate the people of a lane that we want. Let’s tell a lie that god looked like us, then we can go in there & kill, subjugate, rape, & steal everything”. Name one place on earth that whyte people went to & left it better. Better name one place that they went to & made it considerably WORST! Just one place where they did not lie, cheat, still, & destroy parts of the land. Cannibalism! The Moores marched into Dark Age Europe where they were deep in the bubonic plague, & tried to teach them to wash theirselves! I would go as far to say that whyte people are nothing more than a form of cancer to the earth. Human sacrifice, cannibalism, inbreeding, & homosexuality is a European practice. That’s just facts.
EVEN when Malcomn was referred to as Satan, he still maintained his dignity, he responded with the truth, respectfully, he didn't react......The measure of the man! 🤗
@Khaliil bin Ammar I agree with you on that. NoI didn't help Muslims, only hindered them. Their ideology was laughable. Not gonna go into it cuz I think we both know what it was
Malcolm was wrong… close but chose Islam. It’s is a Christianity counterfeit. If you look deeper, you will understand something was wrong. The Koran is all over the place and was written like 300 years after Mohammed died. The Bible was written by people who saw the events. It’s a collection of historical documents. But all the versus back each other up. With that said, Jesus is the truth.
This movie is an adventure through the eyes of a man who betters himself and the people around him. Rip Malcolm X and his grandson. The only male successor Malcolm had.
Plummer is white and Washington is black. That is certain. For anyone concerned with Jesus' color, do good, die and go to heaven. Then find out for certain what color Jesus is. 🙏❤️✝️
