South Bronx Alcohol Abuse

Liam Neeson was outstanding as the lead and the script gave him a rich character to portray. The film presents Schindler as a business man, a womanizer, a profiteer, and a humanitarian. His contrasts allow f...

Spike Lee Malcolm X
586 wordsWhen comparing and contrasting movies and books, the majority of the time the book presents more of a detailed atmosphere and illustration of events. However, in this case I think the book, 'Autobiography of Malcolm X" and the movie, "Malcolm X" quoin side with one another. Spike Lee is not only one of the best filmmakers in America, but one of the most crucially important, because his films address the central subject of race, as so does the book. He doesn't use a sentimental approach or politi...
