0:59 he starts turning into Malcolm again! Years after he'd played the role! Did y'all see that?! How he didn't get the oscar for the performance of his life in 1992 is beyond any of us.
Because of the importance of it and the message it would have sent. You couldn't have people actually listening to Malcolm all over again.. that's why they would rather award Denzel for playing a mere gangster. No disrespect at all to his talent, but it was definitely a thought out (perhaps politically biased) plan by the academy.
We learn about MLK in school and celebrate MLK day as a national holiday every year. Malcolm is the one the US wants to suppress, so that 3 hour movie was appropriate for him.
DemonX he was just doing a bit. I don’t think he actually meant to disrespect the man. Not that Malcolm X needs an endorsement from Washington. His legacy will live on for generations to come.
This guy is an idiot, as everyone else stated he was just elaborating on the fact that he kept talking for hours. Also Denzel never won an Oscar for the movie.
Denzel mocks Malcolm X's legacy in this clip, plain as day. To be fair, it's difficult to channel another soul after a long hiatus, especially with any sort of clarity. But that misrepresentation of Malcolm X's deepest intentions was so far off the mark that it felt hurtful. By mocking Malcolm X's legacy, Denzel mocks his own legacy. Perhaps this clip illustrates just how strong and fearless Malcolm X was. Channeling Malcolm X's soul, outside of the iconic movie, was too heavy for Denzel to do for his own life.
Perhaps you're taking his BIT a little bit too seriously. He saw this white man nervously struggling to ask him a sensitive question on the topic and Denzel made a joke to make him and the audience laugh so it wouldn't turn into an awkward moment.
Dude really- He is actually showing you the brilliance in The Great and beloved X . Mr. X had a way of showing you the variations and degrees, as well as Textures, That would otherwise be blind to the people of that time and era, No offense and No disrespect to you, but things were extremely different back then... Denzel analogy was right on...
Whatever Denzel Washington was a genius to some audience But he seemed foolish and stupid and knew nothing about Malcolm X's values and what he sacrificed for
He himself is a black sellout, and one of the puppets brother Malcolm (may God have mercy on his soul) used to describe them. In the way he eventually mocks the role he played of Malcolm is a clear proof of that he was not getting the message at all. Like something(the white opressors)prevents him from saying what he really thought and laughs it off with mockery and jokes.
Denzel Washington is an actor. Did you miss that part? He perfected his craft and I can respect that. Lighten up. Generations to come will learn more about Malcolm X from Denzel Washington's portrayal of him in that movie. And for that we can all be thankful.
Sellout or not, he is the reason why many people even got interested in the story of Malcolm X. I read his autobiography just because I was so amazed by the movie. I'm glad that this movie exists!
Denzel your performance on Malcolm X was extraordinary but what you did here with that white dude was mocking. If you did this to black audience it would’ve been funny but but not here man, you disrespecting what the man stood for. Shame!
Malcolm X is hands down the best Denzel Washington movie. I've seen it a dozen times. 3 hours and I get sucked in believing he really is Malcolm every time and weep every time. How it didn't get Best Picture much less Best Actor is a crime. 🥹❤

Punu I was shocked that he was nominated in the first place even more that the movie was made by a major studio WARNER BROS.
I don't know why Blacc people still except REWARDS for things, WHITE PEOPLE want to give their own people...
So cute!
Remember the titans and man on fire were better performances
Denzel Washington was perfectly cast as Malcolm X in the Malcolm X movie :)
It’s one of the most perfect casting jobs of all time. He was quite literally the most perfect man to portray Malcolm.
“No disrespect to white people or sneakers” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah man full of swag
“I had the glasses!” 😂
😂😂😭😭
I finally watched Malcolm X last night. Probably the best biopic film I've ever seen, and I've watched them all.
whats second?
@@JoBlogz scent of a woman
MALCOLM X WILL ALWAYS BE AN ICONIC FIGURE FUCK WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THINKS
Always
Marcus Garvey too
@@jonaslocao1690Elijah Muhammad also let’s not forget him
Nobody could have done malcom X better than denzel amazing performance
I gotcchills when he went into Malcolm X. Iconic role, Person & an iconic actor.
Should have won an Oscar
No doubt.
There's about five or six films Denzel made he should've won Oscars for.
What a great movie
Brilliant Actor!
Should have won Oscar for this role
The shoe analogy made alot of sense... All praise due
The movie has changed people lives permanently
this guy is an artist.period
Denzel is immortal in that role.. and the SWAGGER...! He should copyright it :-D
I think he really enjoyed playing Malcolm
Man Denzel did a good ass job!!!!
The host was loving this 😂😂😂
Should have said no disrespect to Malcolm either
Look at that table that white table 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I first heard of Denzel Washington from John Q (2002).
He nailed that Malcolm X role to a T
Too late
🤣 That’s excellent!
I like Denzel Washington's spontaneity/ Malcolm was a great man
I got chills
Spike lee should make martin Luther king jr 3 hour movie
We learn about MLK in school and celebrate MLK day as a national holiday every year. Malcolm is the one the US wants to suppress, so that 3 hour movie was appropriate for him.
On second thought if Spike made a movie that REALLY portrayed MLK instead of the fake BS they teach us in school, I’d be down with that.
They already did one it's called selma
There was already one, a really good one done by Paul Winfield in 1978 and Eyes on the Prize.
HE DID THE THING XD
why do I feel like he was mocking malcolm x at 1:20? No wonder it won an oscar. makes u think...
DemonX he was just doing a bit. I don’t think he actually meant to disrespect the man. Not that Malcolm X needs an endorsement from Washington. His legacy will live on for generations to come.
I Think Denzel was just Displaying his talent on the Spot.. He could break into any Character at any moment .. it's brilliant
DemonX he was literally just showing how he improvised Malcolm x speeches
Alex Kanyima no he wasn’t he respects Malcolm x but y’all find a problem with anything so whatever

TheOpressedRising He along with Spike was under a great deal of pressure from the NOI to bring this icon back from the dead.
