Spike Lee Film

I believe that one of Spike Lee's most transformative films include Malcolm X.  This is a tale of Malcolm Little, a human rights activist - immediately alluding viewers to the fact that this film will (presumably) unveil a greater truth.  A greater truth about Malcolm X and his efforts, and about black culture.  In this film, Spike Lee does not follow the normal film aesthetics of a Hollywood masterpiece.  The film is about a man who went against the grain, while the film itself also goes against the grain.  I think that is profound and possesses a powerful message in and of itself.
