Denzel really transforms himself into Malcolm X in this movie. He should’ve gotten the Oscar. A great performance of a real life figure like this comes along so rarely especially one who means so much to so many people. Easily one of my top 20 favorite movies
@@DamanKingBear might just be his artistic touch. When he's being raided with Malcolm's head in the toilet, Spike looks at the camera and says directly that it's over. Another thing he does a lot. Also the moving without walking thing he does to Malcolm in the end, that's another Spike Lee signature
I think those kind of people are always around but we fail to see until we are so close to the edge, sometimes a bit further even then we realise we should've listened to what was being preached!
I love Malcolm X so much and it is one of my favorite movies with Denzel Washington :) . He did an amazing performance as Malcolm X and he brought the mind and charisma of Malcolm to life on screen :)
An Oscar? Man this man deserves more than an Oscar award for his acting in this movie 🍿. The Oscars hold no weight to this mans talent. Denzel is the living GOAT 🐐
The Autobiography of Malcom X needs to become required reading in high school. I'm white, almost 30 and reading it now, but I should have known about him when I was a teenager.
Denzel is great in whatever he does period. I don't care what the role is he embodies that character. One of my personal favorites of his many films is the mighty Quinn.
This is one of imho spike lee's greatest achievements and one of his greatest films! Never gets the attention it deserves. I read the autobiography of malcom x, and he was spot on about his views on race, liberal democrats, politicians, great film.
I like when he says that's alright brother, that's alright. He expressed the feel of not having seen him in a long time pretty well. And then the: he still has his hair fried 😂 always cracks me up.
the first time my kids saw "training day" they turned to me and asked "why is Malcolm X acting like that?" LOLO... Denzel channeled the spirit of Malcolm for this role! ASE!
Because they would rather have MLK than Malcolm X spreading the “truth”. Malcolm could have saved the black community, white community and America. MLK lived in a fantasy world that hasnt fixed anything.
Spike Lee did an excellent job. He made an epic. Imagine Spike directed that James Brown movie? It would’ve been just like Malcolm X. Well acted and detailed. Denzel Washington nailed Malcolm’s passion, presence etc. great job.
I love this movie and Denzel killed it in this role playing the legendary Malcolm X and Spike Lee playing the brother with the fried hair sitting in that chair while giving him a hug. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017
Scent of a Woman of woman is one of the best films ever. Al pacino performance is his best imo. I like this film as well. But lets not get it twisted. I like Malcom X too but that Scent of a woman is also great
Yeah, but that was a great movie as well. It really depends on who you are talking to about which film is better - different peoples connect with different things. I personally prefer this over that film, but it's not like that wasn't a great film also.

@@vonjytahina5195 wdym
He DEFINITELY should've won it, especially when you compare it to the actual winning performance
I agree
@@Mkennzwho won it?
@@sheikhu1039 Al Pacino for "Scent of a Woman". Don't get me wrong, I love Pacino, but that year was Denzel all the way.
One of the best performances I've ever seen, he literally brought Malcolm X back to life his voice, mannerisms, the Brother was spot on.
Real facts, if they had gave Denzel the Oscar for this it would've been like giving it to Malcolm too...they couldn't do that my brother!
huh?
FACTS
preach
*EXACTLY!*
Facts facts
Every hug in this movie is a double hug... And I think it's a beautiful touch by Spike Lee
His Iconic shots 💖
Yeah i noticed that too
What does it symbolise

he does that in he got game too. When Denzel hits this dude's throat, its a two shot. just a spike lee signature like those awesome treadmill shots.
Should have won the Oscar for this not Training Day!!!
2016BMWi8 Traning Day sucked
one of the biggest ripoffs in academy history
Both.
ros1tony In the sight of Allah the only time that mattered in his life was his last 3 months before he died, his life started after he went to Mecca.
Because Hollywood tried to portrait black american as gangsters and pimps.
Humanity needs someone like Malcolm X every now and then.
I think those kind of people are always around but we fail to see until we are so close to the edge, sometimes a bit further even then we realise we should've listened to what was being preached!
Go to church.
In deed, Malcolm X was one of greatest humans walked on this planet earth. Unfortunately, his legacy were hidden from young generation.
Correction we need someone like this constantly
@@alexisf22 we do. Look up Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell.
This film made me cry. Denzel was a vessel for Malcolm
I love Malcolm X so much and it is one of my favorite movies with Denzel Washington :) . He did an amazing performance as Malcolm X and he brought the mind and charisma of Malcolm to life on screen :)
lalaxbo thanx for this comment
Malcolm X bio is just as good as the movie, written by Alex Hayley
lalaxbo
thats acting for real💯👏
Hollywood is full of terrible acting
One of the most epic movies to ever graced the silver screen.
Spike should have gotten an Oscar for all he did on this film as well.
They practicing social distancing in there
Jesus, that's the first thing that came to my mind 😁🤣😄
You funny
Nah. No social distance. Just show how few are interested.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
The autobiography of malcolm x is the greatest book of all times
Better than the bible?
McSpitfire the bible is corrupted. The Romans changed the holy scripture so Konstantin the “Great” could use religion for his politics.
@@bedford4383 100x better
Busta Rhymes lol I know, it’s all bullshittery you gullible muppet 😂
Have you read the autobiography of Frederick Douglass?
25 years next week. Iconic film. 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
David Richardson Thank you for aging me...I appreciate that 😒
Extacly never forget
Saw it twice when it came out, wanted to make sure my friends saw it.
Absolutely 🙌🙌🙌
You mean 28. It came out in 1992 not 1995.
Malcolm x is the best movie. This a true story. Real man stood up for everyones rights..
“We didn’t land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us” Malcolm X had that energy, to enlighten room.
I've seen this movie a million times and it never gets old. One of my favorite movies ever.
The best Malcolm X performance ever
Denzel Washington is a great actor simply incredible actor.
Malcolm did a big time transformation from criminal/hustler to an activist!!! He looks totally different!!!
Montez Smith MX realized that the white man was responsible for all of his suffering.
@@dwightlove3704 That couldn't be further from the truth
@ozkan576 it's really close to the truth. Read the book and see life from someone's perspective other than your own
Shoulda won the Oscar for this and Remember The Titans.
Beautiful scene, this is when film making had passion and REAL storytelling potential!
Jay Khwaja Spike Lee was robbed of Oscar nominations for BEST DIRECTOR and BEST FILM!!!!!
American cinema*
@@dwightlove3704 I guess Spike Lee wasn't down with buck dancing for the white man.
My black brothers and beautiful black sisters how’re y’all feeling?
Human rights ally here.
Today is the anniversary of his assassination 2-21 he is gone but his influence still lives on in the current climate.
What's up Malcolm X
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
What a movie. His performance was astonishing.
"He still got his hair fried"
😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@John Homes i know i have, I went natural, i have dreadlocks now , i stop
@@tiarafairley5983 🥰❤️❤️
he hugged him twice
Next Year at 5-19 this great man would have been on this planet for a FULL CENTURY!!!!!
An Oscar? Man this man deserves more than an Oscar award for his acting in this movie 🍿. The Oscars hold no weight to this mans talent. Denzel is the living GOAT 🐐
I don't think there is a bad Denzel Washington movie. He brings every character to life.
The Autobiography of Malcom X needs to become required reading in high school. I'm white, almost 30 and reading it now, but I should have known about him when I was a teenager.
AMEN!
@Freddo I wonder why NOI leaderLouis Farrakhan barely talks about Malcolm X.🤔
Why?
@@losmit2194 read it and find out why. It's the only book I've read more than 5 times. That man lived one helluva life
@@emilio2647He talked about him in a interview with Arsenio Hall years ago when everyone was excited to hear about the biopic.
Denzel Washington Was So Great in this film this film empowers impact on people
One of the beste movie ever
By Spike Lee
Rip Malcolm X
On life I agree epic how and why spike got to hating on Tyler perry when spike films are on an whole nother level of its entirety
Another great scene from this '90s classic.
Denzel is great in whatever he does period. I don't care what the role is he embodies that character. One of my personal favorites of his many films is the mighty Quinn.
As a kid, I thought this was a documentary.
"we used to sleep with white women" oh man that gets me everytime
This movie is a master piece. Spike Lee was on fire in the early 90s
He had to be to get this film done.
This is one of imho spike lee's greatest achievements and one of his greatest films! Never gets the attention it deserves. I read the autobiography of malcom x, and he was spot on about his views on race, liberal democrats, politicians, great film.
No one could play that role better than Denzel Washington ! He is so charismatic and fearless so as
Malcom X
Always like seeing the guy who played Roger Thomas on What's Happening...
He campaigned to be in this film he talks about it in a interview with DJ VLAD
Buying this on DVD! Had the VHS as a kid and watched it until the tape warped. Great movie
Scene shot in the top floor the former New York Elks Lodge #1 / Diplomat Hotel @ 108-116 west 43rd street NYC in 1992.
I like when he says that's alright brother, that's alright. He expressed the feel of not having seen him in a long time pretty well. And then the: he still has his hair fried 😂 always cracks me up.
Happy 30th Anniversary, Malcolm X (1992) 🎉🎉🎉
I just love Malcolm x 😣 I wish we still had him or someone like him leading us..instead of Al Sharpton...
Malcolm X was real with the Nation of Islam, but they were not true to him or themselves
Whst fo you mean?
A true test of an actress/actor is that you forget it's them playing a role. In this movie and this scene he is Malcolm.
Malcolm X is lucky he had two visionaries behind the creation of his film. Spike and Denzel.
This Film is a real Classic some of Spike's And Denzel's Best work
the first time my kids saw "training day" they turned to me and asked "why is Malcolm X acting like that?" LOLO... Denzel channeled the spirit of Malcolm for this role! ASE!
If you noticed Spike Lee, co-writer and director of this movie, hit 👍🏽.
Wait.. Spike Lee the film's director is also playing Shorty character yes?
Happens alot in his work
You didn't watch a lot of Spike Lee movie?
@@jackyoh971 noope. Just Malcolm X.
@@jackyoh971 KORRA come visit Australia would you? gonna take you for a tour aey! 😏
The film opens with the character hanging out with X in his early years.
The Plymouth remark is so extremely powerful.......
great actor
A Powerful scene.
This movie is life changing
1:00 is that Mr. Omar from Everybody hates chris, in the back? Haha
Yup!
tragedy
Man, Denzel nailed in this👏👏👏👌👌👌✊✊✊✊
WHY WAS SHORTY LOOKING AROUND AS IF THE BROTHER WASN'T TALKING TO HIM?!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He think he was trying be stay low!! Lol.. He didnt think Malcolm would see him.. 👌
He was embarrassed, didn't want to be pointed out in the crowd.
They used to sleep with white women.😂😂😂😂
Wow, he did an incredible job as Malcom.
Denzel got ROYALLY ROBBED! He brought Malcolm X back to life and people deliberately slept on that divine talent!
Because they would rather have MLK than Malcolm X spreading the “truth”. Malcolm could have saved the black community, white community and America. MLK lived in a fantasy world that hasnt fixed anything.
Scent of a Woman won over Malcom X...shenanigans!
Man for real I watched this video 6 times in one day
I still believe that Denzel should have won for this , however he was beaten by Al Pacino who snagged his only Oscar ever...
He should have won for both
thelatestttplague No Denzel should have won for THE HURRICANE falsely imprisoned boxer RUBIN "HURRICANE" CARTER!!!!
He still got his hair fried 😂
“Shorty” represented Redd Foxx!
The truth?
@@Woozler554 💯
No, shorty was an actual person nicknamed shorty. He wasnt red foxx.
No he didn’t.
0:15 My favorite quote of the movie
Don't y'all just love runnin' into and seein' old friends?
Spike Lee did an excellent job. He made an epic. Imagine Spike directed that James Brown movie? It would’ve been just like Malcolm X. Well acted and detailed. Denzel Washington nailed Malcolm’s passion, presence etc. great job.
Malcolm x is recorded as the 100th most influential person to have ever lived.
This is such a beautiful scene and I hate that I'm really distracted by the weird inconsistency in the shots starting at 0:52
I love this movie and Denzel killed it in this role playing the legendary Malcolm X and Spike Lee playing the brother with the fried hair sitting in that chair while giving him a hug. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017
Proverbs 22:22
“Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:”
King James Version (KJV)
Fun fact shorty was based on Red foxx
Ppl will always say Denzel was robbed of his Oscar and this scene was one of the reasons why!!!
Such a beautifully shot scene
Spike Lee looks like Morris Day with that perm lol
Yeah that brother starving
He STILL got his hair fried, tho!!!
LOL
Denzel😍😍😍😍
No justice, should have got an oscar for this...
2019 am still watching dezel as malcom x
Great movie...
Look he still got his hair fried😂RIP X.
This was such a good film
Denzel Washington is awesome👍👍
Why isn't there anymore people like this?
"Why Denzel had to crooked , before he took it (an oscar) .
this will fly over many people's heads #why #jadakiss
@@kilianonline Point taken that was Jadakiss best work WHY!!!!!!!!
We didn’t land on Plymouth Rock , Plymouth Rock 🪨 Landed on Us ! Powerful , Go Denzel ‼️
This was His Oscar Roll.. Denzel.
I so much love this scene. JMO
I love this scene.
Denzel killed it!! Love it!!
All love to brother X from Libya. He is my leader. We miss a leader like him now days.
Some how this movie lost a oscar to "Scent of a Women" . Who remembers that movie and who still remembers this.
You ever seen Scent Of A Woman?
Scent of a Woman of woman is one of the best films ever. Al pacino performance is his best imo. I like this film as well. But lets not get it twisted. I like Malcom X too but that Scent of a woman is also great
Yeah, but that was a great movie as well. It really depends on who you are talking to about which film is better - different peoples connect with different things. I personally prefer this over that film, but it's not like that wasn't a great film also.
Hooowahhh!!!
Hugged Spike Lee!
0:15 - 0:19 You're Welcome
The turkish flag behind Sultan Malcom X ❤🇹🇷

Wow what a movie.. Wanna watch one more time
This was Denzels best movie
We didn’t land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us...
Amazing performance.
