Malcolm X (E.Luck)

From the second the movie started it showed the racial inequality that America faced showing the beating of Rodney King by the American police.  This movie seems to talk about the complete life of Malcolm X and his rise from an ordinary man into the man that we all know him to be.  I always said the best way to get to know someone is to get to know their past and with this movie I feel like I know Malcolm X very well.  One of the most important scenes in the movie to me was when Malcolm who was a top student in the class was suggested by his own teacher not to follow a profession that used his mental strength but instead used his hands. The teacher suggested that he follow in the likeness of Jesus and become a carpenter which I find rather funny because he later turned Muslim.

When Malcolm goes jail, it was the best thing that could ever happen to him.  He goes to jail, and he goes at the best time because he gets to meet Brother Reginald which I find to be amazing.  What are the odds that he would meet a person who cared enough to try to help him after Malcolm said no.  Brother Reginald and Malcolm were in prison at the same time and were both in the best state of mind to be a benefit to the Nation of Islam were Malcolm would gain a following and change the course of black rights in the process.

The death of Malcolm X seems to be a cruel one because he was murdered in front of his own family by people who he once considered to be his family(Nation of Islam). Over all if I could rate this movie I would it a 9.5/10 seeing that as a bibliography it covers the whole span of his life and shows his life in full bringing emotions along with it.
