- ET spoke with Spike Lee and the cast of ‘Malcolm X’ in 1992 about turning the civil rights leader’s life story into a now-classic movie. Denzel Washington opened up about how he prepared to take on the iconic role, and what he considered the most intimidating scenes to portray.

I still don’t understand how this movie didn’t win an Oscar.
Like most things in Western culture, as soon as it becomes fashionable (i.e. lucrative) then it becomes morally righteous.
They gave the Oscar to Al Pacino instead that year for his performance in Scent of a Woman. At that point that was Al Pacino's 8th nomination. Al Pacino should have won a Oscar years before for The Godfather films. So to make up for it the academy gave the Best Oscar to Al Pacino instead of Denzel Washington. Oscars have always been shady like that.
@@SuperTiaanBro you said it. it's all because whats Popular. Not talented.
Because Malcolm x was a real nigga.
Because it's about Malcolm x
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.
💯
Real talk, I had to take double takes sometimes , he was just like Malcom.
Malcolm X is Spike Lee's greatest masterpiece and is my favorite film.
Agree and it’s not even close
My top 5 movies of all time. Can’t get enough of this film. An instant classic that should’ve won Denzel an Oscar.
He played him so well I believed he was Malcolm X
Denzel is perfect for this role. I didn't even know there was a movie about Malcolm X
Im happy for you, you have found this movie.
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.
amin

The movie was great, but read the Autobiography of Malcolm X. There’s a lot the movie doesn’t touch on.
Exactly
i dont know why they lied about his prison experience. that was probably the best thing to include
@@meowth8050 What was the lie?
My favourite movie I cried like a baby when they killed him at the end
I feel it. Even when you know it's coming lo,l it still hurts.
And yet to this day we still dont assurely know who "they" is.
@@sarahnushkaya4973 CIA for sure.
@@Sundog1985 Stop joking about the death of a martyr brother. This guy isn’t just a random Muslim that died. He gave his life for Allah.
@@abdelll9737 you're right. I'll remove.
Spike and Denzel did that!!!
Very good movie. Denzel Washington a great actor.
Malcolm X
Malcolm was a human rights fighter. He always emphasized that so it’s important that the media and other gets that correct.
Salam brother
the Oubouchou's wa salam
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
They gave the Oscar to Al Pacino instead that year for his performance in Scent of a Woman. At that point that was Al Pacino's 8th nomination. Al Pacino should have won a Oscar years before for The Godfather films. So to make up for it the academy gave the Best Oscar to Al Pacino instead of Denzel Washington. Oscars have always been shady like that.
@@natedoggg2002 You're 1000% percent right in what you wrote brother, that's also my opinion as well, even though Al Pacino delivered a 100% satisfaction according to his role in scent of a woman, but if we compare the personality of the late Al Haj Mr Malcolm X (he may rest in peace) in the movie Malcolm X and Mr Al Pacino in Scent of a woman, both Mr Washington and his performance would've and should've won the Oscar, but in my opinion the academy made a very very big mistake by putting both movie in the same category, and I also think that they did that on purpose🙄why? First of all this is the story of a great African American, secondly this is the story of a great Muslim who they considered him as a threat to the whole system, so certainly they didn't wanna give the Oscar to that movie 😔😔😔😔
However Mr Al Pacino is also oppressed somehow by the academy, love both of them, but Denzel Washington is something unique and will never be a new Denzel Washington 🙏👍👍👍👍 peace
@@itanathesumerian3700 Spike Lee was on the outs with Hollywood. They punished him for that and they punished him for years thereafter. I remember the controversy. Also, Chadwick would have been the competitive actor on Denzel's level. Rest in peace, Chad.
Denzel not winning an oscar for this but for Training day is still beyond me.
Truth
Training Day was seriously out of character. Whether you like that portrayal of a crooked, drug dealing cop or not, he pulled it off. Malcolm was made at a time when Spike didn't sit well with Hollywood based on some of his views.
@@traceytracey3756 which views are those?
its the same reason Kendrick didn't win a grammy for To Pimp A Butterfly. It was too black and vocal for a 50/60 year old man to understand... training day was easier to consume and so was DAMN (kanye shrug)
It was chism, Ray Chism.
One of the best orators of the last century, or any century, for that matter.
Denzel got robbed of an Oscar. Hands down, his best performance in his career
He was excellent in Glory. Hey didn't like Spike, so Denzel took the bullet.
Denzel is without a shadow of a doubt a great actor but he in my view did a o.k. job in his portray of Malcolm.
I agree Malcolm X is his greatest performance he was absolutely phenomenal in the role!
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.
Facts facts and facts one of THE greatest human beings to ever walk the face of the earth he is inspirational
Denzel became Malcolm X
Denzel channeled Malcolm.
Method actor
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.
It’s sad to say but we are still fighting the same ppl about the same problems. 😂
Words aren’t working we have to unite and protect ourselves and our culture
I'm not exactly sure what the laugh emoji is about, because it isn't funny at all. It took 400 years to create this vacuum of hatred towards black people; therefore, this is a long fight to rid a system that doesn't want to let go.
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.
Compromise with America is impossible
In my top 5 movies of all time
Same here💯
That was a Great move it shows the history of Malcom X
Read the book you'll unearth more about him
Such a leader charisma finess they were afraid of him
A father ,an activist , a preacher , may allah grant him the highest place in heaven
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
An excellent film !
VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS MOVIE IT TOLD ME WHO THIS MAN WAS AND IS.
Spike Lee should also make a movie on geronimo pratt's
And Tupac
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.
The name X was given to him by the Nation of Islam, until another name is given...Millions of Black Americans have had an X including me...get your fact right
@@davidmuhammad8960 I know, and historically you're right and I don't argue with that. What I meant however was that the Nation of Islam gave the last name "X" to many of their followers, but as far as I know and I may be wrong, only Malcolm stood out and gave recognition to that name.
Watching this mow on new yr eve 2023..
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
Mr. Washington perfect actor ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When it comes to leadership Malcolm was the equal of anyone in his era.
It’s weird because Spike looks a lot like Malcolm X, except when it comes to height. Denzel is a legend
Great 🎬 movie
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.
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!!!
Everything happens for a reason. It was the right time.
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
And for Muslims too
It seems like they banned this movie. I cannot find this anywhere. Not even in Netflix. Very Sad.

I'm watching the movie right now on HBO Max 👍🏾❤️😊
It’s on tubi
Rip ozzie and ruby
wow
Doesn’t show any Hotel Diplomat footage!
رحمة الله عليه
Thank allah for the grace of Islam
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
Applaudiable nice content +
Yet we dont see any teachings or people living from what we learned from MLK Or X!
They parrot their words (particularly those of MLK), cherry-picking quotations that they personally feel "suits" their agendas but they neither have any genuine knowledge or care to have any, of the purity of vision, and heartfelt advocacy these men stood for.
Wrong I've met about a dozen
Spike Lee is the wrong person to direct or make that move
@@khalifamuhammad6534
Do you see those dozens speaking that truth in the streets?
@@khalifamuhammad6534 Why? In the whole history of film making, who else jumped at the chance? No one. Spike was fine. He just didn't get along in Hollywood at that time and they punished him for it.
Omg Denzel Washington looks like how he did In Philadelphia
Thomas Hagan is still alive
The whole Oscar think is exposed here cause if this film couldn't win an Oscar then no film should.
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.
إيش اسم الفلم هذا
Malcolm x.
ET phone home!
Wrong Movie
What’s the name of the movie
Malcolm X
@@natedoggg2002 How can anyone be as dumb to ask a question like that when this video is about said 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.
....... By any means necessary
They talk the same and look just alike 😳😳😳😳😳
Spike Lee is the wrong person to make that move
Who in your mind would have been a better option???
Do you want to be friends
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!
Linda
Hiiiiiiiiiii
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
Ndujamz He should do films about GIL SCOT HERON,THE LAST POETS these men were the fathers of CONSCIOUS HIP HOP in the '60s!!!!!!!
@@dwightlove3704 yeah imagine that, GSH would be dope.
@@ndujamz Don't forget TLP those men were the original Public Enemy.
@@dwightlove3704 yeah I have their album on vinyl.

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!!
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.
