"Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life." ("conditioned" Major Ben Marco)
"I was loveable. Jocie was loveable. The Senator was loveable. The days were loveable, the nights were loveable. And everybody was loveable. Except, of course, my mother." (Raymond Shaw)
"You are to shoot the presidential nominee through the head, and Johnny will rise gallantly to his feet and lift Ben Arthur's body in his arms, stand in front of the microphones and begin to speak. The speech is short. But it's the most rousing speech I've ever read. It's been worked on here and in Russia on and off, for over eight years. I shall force someone to take the body away from him. Then Johnny will really hit those microphones and those cameras, with blood all over him, fighting off anyone who tries to help, defending America even if it means his own death! Rallying a nation of television viewers into hysteria, to sweep us up into the White House with powers that will make martial law seem like anarchy!" (Mother Iselin to her son!)
Political paranoia at its scariest: acts of conditioning minds in the era of Cold War! Almost perfect film, superior acting by the big three: Frank Sinatra, Lawrence Harvey, Janet Leigh; but the best of all is Angela Lansbury as Raymond Shaw's power-mad mother (nominated for Oscar and won Golden Globe) - even the most blood-thirsty Hollywood monster pales in comparison to her evil mind. A flim to be seen again and again. ” - Ioannis111
"Brothers and sisters, I am here to tell you that I charge the white man. I charge the white man with being the greatest murderer on earth. I charge the white man with being the greatest kidnapper on earth. There is no place in this world that this man can go and say he created peace and harmony. Everywhere he's gone he's created havoc. Everywhere he's gone he's created destruction. So I charge him. I charge him with being the greatest kidnapper on this earth! I charge him with being the greatest murderer on this earth! I charge him with being the greatest robber and enslaver on this earth! I charge the white man with being the greatest swine-eater on this earth. The greatest drunkard on this earth! He can't deny the charges! You can't deny the charges! We're the living proof of those charges! You and I are the proof. You're not an American, you are the victim of America. You didn't have a choice coming over here. He didn't say, 'black man, black woman, come on over and help me build America'. He said, 'get down in the bottom of that boat and I'm taking you over there to help me build America'. Being born here does not make you an American. I am not an American, you are not an American. You are one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of America. You and I, we've never seen any democracy. We didn't see any democracy on the cotton fields of Georgia, wasn't no democracy down there. We didn't see any democracy. We didn't see any democracy on the streets of Harlem or on the streets of Brooklyn or on the streets of Detroit or Chicago. Ain't no democracy down there. No, we've never seem democracy! All we've seen is hypocrisy! We don't see any American Dream. We've experienced only the American Nightmare!" (Malcolm X)
Overly long, but exciting biopic. Denzel Washington's performance is undoubtedly the best of his career. He successfully brings forth the contradictions in Malcolm X's ideology, his genuine agony about the situation of black people in America and the humane character of his personality. The documentary scenes embedded in the film do not disrupt its narrative, but enforce it instead. Some of the pop elements we encounter in the movie - clearly a personal choice of director Spike Lee - could be avoided and some of the songs chosen do not fit it entirely. The greatest virtue of the film is its giving plenty of cinematic space to spirituality, the ideas that generated and maintained Malcolm X's actions. Indeed, the two most enjoyable parts of the movie are (a) the first rebirth of Malcolm while being in prison through the teachings of Elaija Mohammed and (b) his second rebirth during and after his visit to Mecca and the other holy places. This is a demanding movie and requires multiple viewings, but at the end of the funyy political images as well as photos
