SUMMARY:The Emory Cinematheque Presents: MALCOLM X (1992)
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Spike Lee\\n1992 | 202 min. | DCP\\nIntroduced by
  Dr. Charlene Regester (University of North Carolina\\, Chapel Hill)\\nSp
 ike Lee’s MALCOLM X comes out in 1992 with Warner Bros. The film is bas
 ed on the 1964 book\\, THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X as told to Alex Hal
 ey\\, which was published one year before Malcolm X’s assassination. In
  the film\\, audiences see Malcolm X through various points of his varied
 \\, short life: as Malcolm Little\\, Malcolm X\\, and El- Hajj Malik El-S
 habazz.\\nGetting the film to screen was no small feat since others had t
 ried as well\\, having several different screenwriters over time. Film sc
 holar Anna Everett writes about Lee’s negotiations with the work: “Fo
 r Lee\\, courting controversy over MALCOLM X was a necessary act of polit
 ical and cultural intervention that turned on matters of credibility\\, a
 uthenticity\\, and even profitability.”\\nIn an interview\\, Lee talks 
 about the importance of Malcolm X and the need for everyone to see this b
 iopic about him. He believed MALCOLM X\\, his first PG film\\, could serv
 e as an “important piece of American history and people\\, especially y
 oung kids\\, need to see this.” (Cineaste\\, 1993). So much so\\, Lee c
 alled for districts to release children from school to go see the film. E
 ducator Samuel L. Banks writes in the AFRO-AMERICAN RED STAR\\, the film 
 “must portray Malcolm X as BECOMING\\, ASSIDUOUSLY BECOMING AND GROWING
 \\, if it is to have genuine validity\\, credibility and enduring appeal.
 ”\\nComing in just shy of 3 1/2 hours\\, Lee interprets Malcolm X’s m
 otivations as grounded in his background\\, transitions\\, and his faith.
  Denzel Washington was nominated for an Oscar in his portrayal of Malcolm
  X. Alongside him\\, the film stars Angela Bassett\\, Al Freeman\\, Jr.\\
 , Delroy Lindo\\, and Lee himself. Film historian Dr. Charlene Regester o
 f the University of North Carolina will introduce the film and entertain 
 questions afterwards.\\nhttps://www.gayout.com/usa-canada/united-states/a
