The Hate that Hate Produced
Wow I really like watching this documentary. It was so cool to see a real live interview of Malcolm X reflecting on his beliefs in a laudatory tone that were so similar to those of his father and Marcus Garvey. The whole show being in black and white was interesting, because it made me realize how advanced our technology has become. I kind of got the chills watching the interview because it reminded me of similar speeches to those of Martin Luther King Jr., and Barrack Obama. Malcolm x even said something (sorry I can't really remember what), that foreshadowed the coming of a black ruler in America, and all I could think of was Barrack Obama becoming president. This made me smile a little because all of this is happening during my lifetime, so its pretty amazing. It was funny to see Elijah Muhammad because he was a black man, which was not what I pictured. I thought he was a little Indian man who looked like Ghandi :] but I was wrong. Yes and one thing I didn't like however was the clarity of the the interview. Things were a little blurry so it was hard to see fully. Another thing was the that the interview was cut into ten sections, each like nine minutes long, so I had to keep going back to play the next section. But I really liked watching it for the most part and am going to look up more speeches because it's really different seeing it in semi real life opposed to reading it on paper. it was really engaging.
