I read the book before the movie was even thought of.
Excellent documentary/
remember the scene when the NOI was assembled in the street.
Nice soundtrack
3 hours long well worth it
this movie did his story justice
Un-American to not see this movie
Blasphemous ifya Black,

It was a fine movie but some parts were fictional as was the case with the Biography of Malcolm by Alex Haley which the movie is based on.

Intresting Willie......... Seeing how this is Movie Reviews, Scoops & News
The Autobiography of Malcom X ((authenticity of documentation)) is relavent. Give us the scoop, share your sources. I understand that in the "movie making business" there has to be some poetic license in order to sale tickets......... a few highlights, shadeing etc.

I don't mean like that. I'm saying that the book upon which this si based isn't completely factually correct.
"However, the book has been criticized by some scholars for possibly being factually inaccurate or misleading in certain parts. In addition, members of Malcolm X's family and the N.O.I. have accused author Alex Haley of changing or fictionalizing parts of the story" .

I'll post the source in a minute but my browser started f**king up. "The Autobiography of Malcolm X, penned by Alex Haley, is based on hearsay,
conjecture and opinions" http://www.gilscottheron.com/malxintro.htmThats all I can find right now. Anyway the movie isn't a factual stand alone new autobiography on Malcolm it is based on the Haley Biography which is somewhat fictional. Some of its real and other parts fake.

Thank you for providing this information Willie.
For clarification, you are saying that the Autobiography of Malcom X is not all truth... information was added or omitted???
From what I gather the author of this piece you provided was not given. I was able to see by the greeting he gave at the end ......he must be a Muslim.
By all means if you get more information, specific to fallacies, omissions, etc please share them here or feel free to pm me.
The objective information on those Americans so Loved and despised as he, are few and far between, so again please share any sources................."in your own time"
ty once again Willie

Actually I it wasn't. Roots was a fictional story all made up. http://www.papillonsartpalace.com/alex.htmhttp://www.tommcmahon.net/2004/02/sorry_kids_but_.html

I know but thats not the truth. Haley is the biggest fraud and, well, hustler of black literature.
