Review of Malcolm X

Malcolm X (1992)
5/10
Left me feeling confused
25 January 2021
After watching this very very long movie, (far too long) I was left confused on how I should feel about Malcolm X. I know Spike Lee made this film in an effort to celebrate Malcolm but I didn't see it that way. I'm sure Lee was genuine in his story telling and that much of the "big story" was true, and with that I see Malcolm X has someone who invited violence, and rage among "his people". I don't see much to celebrate. It's sad how his life ended, but I don't put him on the same pedestal as MLK or JFK. Overall the movie was ok. Like I said earlier, far too long, but still was good enough.
