Well let us hear from our minister, Minister Malcolm X. Let us bring him on with a round of. A great movie if overlong and slightly unfocused. Washington carried the film with a great performance worthy of an Oscar nomination if not a win which might have been guaranteed had the director managed to focus. Spike Lee did a good job as director which is saying a lot, given the historical scope, danger of offense, and controversy of the project.

What's New In Version 8.1
His one weak area in this film was editing. There is no reason this movie couldn't have been half an hour shorter. Right off the bat, there were unnecessarily lingering camera shots and scenes that could have omitted.

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking of Spike himself sliding under a woman's skirt and mugging the camera. That scene not only failed to further the story but instead made the audience stand up and say, 'Hey, that's Spike looking at us!' Lee's biggest editing mistake was based on his desire to tell the story of Malcolm X AND tell the story of the African-American experience. That's more than enough for several movies so why cram it all under one title? After a clear scene illustrating X's life, Lee would move to a large dance hall to illustrate the richness of the African-American experience. A quick shot of the dance hall would have been sufficient. Instead the far away shots were maintained for too long and when the focus moved back to specific characters it moved to the character played by Lee himself.
I don't know. It certainly didn't help us to understand X any better. The ending with children saying 'I am Malcolm X' also went on too long and should have been part of a separate feature. The cameos were distracting.
8.1 Wow
The movie could have been tighter, shorter, and better except that Spike Lee wanted to put everything, including the kitchen sink, into it. That being said, it is a great movie and I'm glad I invested the three and a half hours to watch it.
