Where did he mislead the people? Its a 3 hour movie. Malcolm X lived several lifetimes in 39 1/2 years. There were always going to be things missing that aren't in the movie. I don't understand that criticism.

This is a great movie to capture Malcolm and his life. Its not going to cover every minute detail. It encourages you to seek more about Malcolm and learn more about him.

Spike can't win with the critics. Thats what makes Malcolm X the movie even more special. It can't be denied because its so good. Sure, the critics will find flaws and nitpick. But deep in their hearts they know its a masterpiece. And they can't stand it. lol
