I just finished watching the movie 'X' (obviously about Malcolm X) which was directed by Spike Lee. what a fucking amazing and inspiring movie. most amazing about the movie is the perspective you gain from watching a person round the bases of realization. to see that even amazing people have fundamental barriers.

just watch the fucking movie.


song of the week to download: 'let me love you down' by INOJ

Willard: 'How many people had I already killed? There was those six that I know about for sure. Close enough to blow their last breath in my face. But this time it was an American and an officer. That wasn't supposed to make any difference to me, but it did. Shit... charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets in the Indy 500. I took the mission. What the hell else was I gonna do?'

Though the movie was very good, the book 'The Autobiography of Malcolm X' is far better. Very inspiring and thought-provoking

spike lee definately doesn't skew things, i think he just touches on what is blatantly apparent. so, no. in fact there are very few white roles in that film.

Reggaeconcept hit it spot on....if you like the movie, for sure read the book. It is one of the most worthwhile books I've read in my life.

the only spike lee movie i've seen is he got game and that sucked. he puts a bunch of horrible music in that doesn't match the scene at all and does all this weird editing and coloring and shit. i'll have to give X a chance tho.

The Spike doceumentary collection is great. Check out the doc. on the Rodeo kids... I think it's called 'Amarillo by morning', also a great song....

I like Spike's movies even his newer ones like 25th Hour and Bamboozeled, but the one thing that bothers me about him is when he made the ridiculous comment that 'If Larry Bird was black, he'd be considered just another average player' As big of a hoops fan that he is, that is the most ignorant comment he's ever made. Just plain dumb.
