Malcolm X is the true definition of a hero, he always stated his opinion no matter who was around or watching ["The chickens have come home to roost."]. People looked up to him and wanted to follow his leadership. Malcolm X was one of the most influential African Americans involved in the Civil Rights Era (1950s and 1960s).
Malcolm influenced the Muslim community in both positive and negative ways. He used his knowledge and experience to impact people. People felt that because he was "Saved" by the master Mohammed that he had a past and story to tell that could help and motivate others. People often seem to follow somebody who has experience trials and hard times.
The director Spike Lee did a phenomenal job getting Denzel Washington to be as effective as Malcolm.Throughout the movie Denzel Washington demonstrated a interest in the movie and role of Malcolm X. He similarity used body gesture to portray a common theme of knowledge and leadership. Overall this was a very productive movie and taught me a lot about the Muslim community and Malcolm X effectiveness on the Muslim community
Malcolm Spoke out to multiple crowds representing the Muslim nation. He proudly stood for everything Mohammed taught, only after his journey to mecca is when he started to question the actions and lessons taught by the nation of Islam. He doesn't give up practicing being Muslim but he became different because he no longer has a reason to judge white, They seem to have wanted the same things he did. Malcolm reached his turning point in his life he went from being against white participation to reaching out to them for their encouragement and support.
