Most insulting film to society

Recommended Posts



LOL what is this movie even about. I see a lot of disgust for it?

Well... I don't know how to put it in words, and don't even want to... I think I can show you a picture, though.

Yeah, but for the majority of his life he basically advocated black supermacy

Black supremacy? Sorry but do you have any idea of the history of the US? Do you realize the magnitude of racial discrimination during this man's time. You have to look at it in context and don't judge so harshly. That's all I will say.

I know the horrific situation of the african americans at the time, it was truly monstrous. But Malcolm X still spoke of white people as the 'white devil', preached about how black people had glorious high culture while the white men slithered in caves, and in general when he was in Nation of Islam he said some rather hateful stuff. I understand how the people who were in Nation of Islam must have felt back in the day, their condition being so bad, but what that church and Malcom X preached I cant agree withThere are also many other things I dont agree with him, like how he said that if you're black and not a muslim you have been 'brainwashed by the white man' and other things. He was a insanely brave man, but I dont agree with him.

Malcolm X certainly was a flawed person with some misguided ideals, but his motto of "by any means necessary" and his bravery in adhering to this idea despite the constant hate and threat around him inspired a generation of African Americans to fight for their rights and positive social changes. You can't look at him through a black and white lens.

I see the effect he had on people and the changes he helped to make, but as a person I just dont really agree with him or his opinions very much

And that's fine. But all I'm saying is that he did abandon a lot of that hatred later in his life.

IMO, most insulting movie to society is The Serbian Movie. It`s a quasy snuff porn + torture porn but the fact that they named it after entire nation, as if it represents the said nation or its cinema, is beyond insulting.Also, that Angelina Jolie anti-Serbian movie. The Crusader`s from Serbia so I`m very sensitive to one-sided bashing of his countrymen.

But the movie depicted that. A flawed man that thrived through racial trouble, making ambiguous and violent choices in the name of his people because of the historical settings, facing the institutionalized oppression he had to suffer because of his skin color. How can you say that movie is an insult to society? It was simply depicting the life of the man called Malcolm X, not a tract for Nation Of Islam.So by your logic, The Downfall is an insult to society just because it depicts parts of the life of one of the most despicable man in modern history? You're confusing the author's POV with real or fictional movie character's beliefs. Edited by dashrendar44
