Abstract
Anthony Davis (1986), the composer who wrote music for opera entitled “X” (The Life and Times of Malcolm X)” said “This is a person who is an icon, and he means very conflicting, very different things to people. We're not a monolithic-thinking people, and people are starting to realize that. There's not one way of looking at Malcolm X. This article is another way to see the figure of Malcolm X. Based on Spike Lee’s “Malcolm X”, it criticizes some important scenes of the movie as inspiring visions of emancipation and liberation. Malcolm X zealotry and his fixed goal of Black emancipation will inspire us and to the yet-to-born generations. His attraction is irresistible. Denzel Washington has successfully adopting his charm that gives the effect so that we the audiences heard the voice of Malcolm himself. It is correct to say something about “Malcolm’s magic,” because he was a magic of a “field Black.” Malcolm X is a magnet of a new moral authority; he stood against moral hypocrisy and insincerity of his time and within his movement and also today.
