Arcata Theatre Lounge

Friday, February 18th Doors/Pre-Show @ 7PM. Movie starts @ 8PM. $8 Admission. Rated PG-13. Running Time: 3hrs. 22min. All Ages - Parental Guidance Suggested. Main Feature: Malcolm X (1992) Spike Lee’s comprehensive film biography of the slain Civil Rights activist leader. Malcolm X is much more than a depiction of a great man’s life. It’s a film that shows, though the powerful story of one man, a persons ability to reinvent himself and change his life. It is fueled by a towering, charismatic performance by Denzel Washington. In the early 1980’s, Denzel had previous played Malcolm X in the off-Broadway play ‘When the Chickens Come Home to Roost”. The film breaks Malcolm’s life down into three acts. The first deals with the troubled childhood of Malcolm Little, whose Father was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan and Mother institutionalized for insanity. Malcolm grows up and gets job as a Pullman Porter, calling himself Detroit Red. Getting involved with Harlem gangster West Indian Archie, Malcolm finds himself in prison. The second act follows his life in prison, where a fellow inmate Baines introduces him to the teachings of the Nation of Islam. The third act follows Malcolm’s religious conversion as a messianic disciple of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Don’t miss our pre-show.
