Story Synopsis:
Malcolm X is director/co-writer/co-star Spike Lee’s breathtaking and poignant portrait of the life of political activist and African-American leader Malcolm X. Based on the book The Autobiography Of Malcolm X, it tells the story of a Harlem hustler turned fiercely eloquent advocate for a new black consciousness. His message was one of pride and self-determination which inspired people to demand human rights during the tumultuous ’50s and ’60
LaserDisc Picture:
This is a beautifully photographed film that is sharp and clear. The aspect ratio is 1.89:1. The prison scenes are stunning in their image contrasts and require the monitor to have excellent black reproduction. Color fidelity is excellent throughout and the flesh tones are extremely natural.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The dynamic Dolby Surround® soundtrack is wonderful and enveloping with a masterful and powerful jazz-tinged music score by Terence Blanchard.
