- I recently inquired as to whether or not the movie: "Malcolm X"
- will provoke hostility. I'd like to clarify.
- When the movie "Juice" came out, I went to go see it. At the door
- to the theater, I was frisked by two armed guards along with the rest of
- the patrons. Why should anyone have to go to a movie and sit in the
- theater in fear. NOTE: I realize that these reactions happen in a lot of
- controversial movies. I am no trying to imply that the violence does not
- cross racial boundaries in movie content or production. What I am trying
- to say is that, Spike Lee is known for his controversial messages in
- movies. Do you think that He will thwart the life of Malcolm in order to
- provoke controversy?
