With all due respect to the real Malcolm X, Denzel is just cooler.Definition- An actor that is cooler, even better at playing the role of the person they're supposed to be portraying.
Examples-Denzel Washinton as Malcolm X in Malcolm X
Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke(Hunter S. Thomson) in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote in Capote
Origin- From my fucking brain, dipshits. I know it can be debated with all of these selections as to who actually has more charisma between the two, but this is my post, so therefore.....it's my opinion. So, let's face it, Denzel makes Malcolm look like a frightened child on their first day of school. Denzel portrays Malcolm as accurately and precisely as anyone at that time could, and then some. If Denzel were to have the same thoughts and ideas and happened to be a prominent public speaker and activist like Malcolm, he'd be Denzel X. He has more firery passion and intensity than Malcolm and just happens to be quoting his work throughout the film Malcolm X. Like I said, you could argue with these points, so please, don't be afraid to. Actually, I recommend you do.
