My boss at my last job told me that he saw the film, it effected him deeply and he immediately went out to get a copy of the book. Even though I was doubly immpressed because he's pr, he couldn't get past page 30; for me, the beginning of the book was the most engrossing part. He made me question whether the film could inspire people to go learn more about Malcolm X; I'm not talking about people who already had an interest in civil rights or black nationalism, I'm talking about people who didn't know there was so much to learn.

Now, I know that one man doesn't represent the millions who saw the film, but like I said, my boss made me question how effective the film is.
