Tells a great story, reenacts the lives of giants we all agree are renowned in history. It would be dishonest for me to say it was a bad movie. The acting was great, the drama and conflict between the protagonist is thrilling, and the story was well written.
There's a few political points I'd like to make as I know many who watch movies taken them to heart and see them as pure reality. With the same love for mankind as Malcom X I'd like to preach my beliefs here. I believe the political points are relevant to the central theme of the story so reading them could perhaps change how the viewer see's the movie. If not for the addition of Malcom X, (a political figure) writing my political beliefs would be obnoxious and odd.
If any race calls all members of another race devils, it is par for the course that they will be targeted. White's had the KKK and the KKK was targeted by both whites and blacks. I would expect the same respect will be given from the black community towards whites. Those who divide and call for war will receive it, whether black or white.
It is a shame we are sitting here today still stuck on race. Nature's truth is that character is far more important. There are fellow whites that I despise and fellow blacks that I love; and vise versa. One must understand the nature of stereotypes is that they are based on what individuals are exposed to. A black man who is treated poorly by a white is more likely to become racist than one who is treated well, and vice versa.
Treating a racist poorly will only strengthen their resolve, and if different events had occurred to you, you could have become just as racist as your fellow man. When that racist decides to commit a crime, that is when the action must be taken against the racist to seek justice, in it's proper place, an honest court room. Until that point however their minds can be changed, but it will only be through acts and words of compassion.
All this junk about White Privilege is just more divide and conquer jargon. Do all whites experience ๐ฆ๐น๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ญ๐บ the same world? No. Whites were enslaved, there are white men growing up in areas where they are minorities, there are white men that have to battle with laws that discriminate against them, there are white men grasping for loans.
The one thing White Privilege get's correct โ that is such a no brainer it should not be profound in the slightest โ is that a White man will never be judged as a Black man nor know ๐ฆ๐น๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ญ๐บ what it is like to live as one; the inverse is equally true for the Black man however, and it is not always to the privilege of whites that they are born white as there are times where it would be more advantageous to have been born another color. More aptly this reality could be called the Racial Experience, and just as Whites will never know ๐ฆ๐น๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ญ๐บ what it is like to be black, neither will Blacks never know ๐ฆ๐น๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ญ๐บ what it is like to be White. The Racial Experience, unlike White Privilege, extends this phenomenon to all people, and does not subtly judge their experiences as strictly advantageous.
In fairness you can also extend this to regional grounds, a Floridian will never truly know what it is like to live as a Californian. Who are they to judge the others political desires; their beliefs on how they want their community to be structured? Could this reliance under an all powerful federal government that doesn't live among us and is increasingly involved in all of our politics be the cause of so much turmoil and chaos in politics? Who are they to judge what is best for the separate 50 states?
All this being said, I think we are far more similar than we are different, we are all ๐ฆ๐น๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ญ๐บ the same in regards to what makes a human a human; and certain truths exist that apply to all humans. So to those who seek to divide and distract us with all this racial theory, they are the enemy, they are who we must war against, and they are the one's who have exploited our passions and turned brother against brother. We are killing each other every single day and the blood belongs on their hands too. To those who have not committed any crime, compassion should be the first approach.
Know thy enemy.

February 25, 1964: Four legendary figures, one motel room, and a defining moment in the history of American civil rights
Adapted by Kemp Powers from his acclaimed play, the feature directorial debut of Academy Awardโwinning actor Regina King puts viewers in a room with four icons at the forefront of Black American culture as they carouse, clash, bare their souls, and grapple with their places within the sweeping change of the civil rights movement.
February 25, 1964, has gone down in history as the day that the brash young boxer Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) defeated Sonny Liston, but what happened after the fight was perhaps even more incredible: Ali, civil rights leader Malcolm X, NFL great Jim Brown, and โKing of Soulโ Sam Cooke all came together at a Miami motel. Electric with big ideas and activist spirit, One Night in Miami . . . plunges us into the midst of an intimate, ongoing conversationโand a defining moment in American history.

- New 4K digital transfer
