MALCOLM X (1992, Full Movie)
Spike Lee’s adaptation of The Autobiography of Malcolm X tells the story of the most influential and most relevant man to ever be born in America - Malcolm X. Starring Denzel Washington (as Malcolm) and Angela Bassett (as Betty Shabazz), this movie helped introduce a new generation to a man who should never be forgotten; a man who sparked Black consciousness and whose living example was force behind Black Power.
The fact that Denzel Washington did not win an Oscar for his role in the film is straight up criminal.
“Who taught you to hate the color of your skin?
Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair?
Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips?
Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet?
Who taught you to hate your own kind?
Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to so much so that you don’t want to be around each other?”- Malcolm X, 1962
