Since many people retain much of their historical knowledge through
popular cult

Since many people retain much of their historical knowledge through
popular culture outlets, students will produce an original film critique
of the Spike Lee film X (1992). Watch the documentary Malcolm X:
Make It Plain (1994) as a juxtaposition to X. Is the Spike Lee film a
realistic portrayal of the life of Malcolm X? Both projects came out
before Manning Marable’s controversial book on Malcolm X. Craft a thesis and research essay that compares/contrasts the
portrayal of Malcolm X through the popular film medium in X versus
the documentary Make It Plain.
➢ Based on your research, does this appear to be an accurate portrayal
of Malcolm X’s life—why or why not? If not, offer suggestions on how
the filmmaker could have produced a more accurate representation.
➢ Given that this is a popular film and not a documentary, did Spike Lee.
have an obligation to stay completely true to the story?
