Ali: The Greatest is Not Always The Best

I liked this movie a bit more than I thought I would. Great music. Nice cinematography. Interesting directing. Good acting.

Ali was, if this movie is accurate of his life, one of the best athletes of our time. Able to focus on winning and, despite odds, win. He was so confident in himself and so sure he could win. The interesting part is that he also wanted to be a good person but struggled with this. The viewer sees this through his desire to be a Black Muslim and stand up for the cause he believed in. Yet in the end, is unfaithful to the Muslim religion because he cheats on his wife. He also goes back to the Nation of Islam even though he already knows they are using him. So he was the greatest fighter but that does not mean he has to be a great man in other ways. Malcolm X was his friend that he knew stood up for what he believed in and thought for himself and it seemed like Ali wanted to be that way to, after Malcolm's death.
