This week in The Absolute Ghetto, Malcolm and Sadé give their first movie review for One Night in Miami, the directional debut of Regina King. This movie depicts a fictional account of a conversation between the Black legends Malcolm X, Cassius Clay (before changing his name to Muhammad Ali), NFL star Jim Brown, and singer Sam Cooke, especially known for “A Change Is Gonna Come”. After starting with our general opinion of the movie and a discussion of it's creative merits, we pose the question: Does a fictional account of real Black liberation leaders matter in the same way as biographies and tributes to them more firmly grounded in actual events? And if it does matter, how so? We do this through exploring 5 main themes we gleaned from the movie: Humanization, High-Class Racism, Appropriate Usage of Power and Influence, and The True Meaning of Black Liberation. Join us in celebrating this imaginative account of what being a fly on the wall of the conversations between these real-life brothers in-love may have looked like.
