Malcolm X

I don't know if I could tell you a better pair to make this movie than Spike and Denzel, maybe there's one out there but I don't care these 2 did a tremendous job. It didn't even feel like I was watching a movie, I felt as if I was there experiencing this piece of history right along with the rest of the characters. Whether that was because of possibly my favorite Denzel performance ever or the special way Spike can direct films and tell stories it was all amazing. I never once felt myself checking how much was left in this movie and don't think there was a single wasted second in this movie. Each shot was either advancing a storyline, developing a character, or just flat-out fascinating and I was locked in the entire time. I also wanted to say just how fantastic Denzel portrayed Malcolm in this film especially when it came to the public peaking/preaching scenes. After reading a few chapters of Malcolm's autobiography and watching a few videos of him he really has a way with words and a way to get you to believe what he was saying, and Denzel does a great job portraying that. Finally, I just wanted to compliment this film on how it is still able to be so interesting even in moments where you may know what is going to happen next. That is the downfall of a lot of biopics where I find myself knowing how it is going to end and not really caring what happens in the buildup, this is never the case with Malcolm X.
