Muhammad Ali (2021)
10/10
This isn't Ali the boxer. It's Ali the man. And a period piece
12 March 2023
This isn't about Muhammad Ali the boxer. He was much much more than that. This is about Muhammad Ali the man. I am halfway through at the moment and I find nothing to complain about. It's objective, it's thorough, it's well designed and well narrated and above all it's very fair. The man was a great man. And he had his flaws, he had his mistakes, and he realized them all and overcame them all. The man was the greatest not just in boxing but in activism. In freedom fighting. I know in a short while we will see how some kept trying to use him for their own gains when he got older. And these people went down in history as the worst in history. The 4th episode is hard to watch but it is true to his legacy. He remained and remains the greatest. I highly recommend watching this mini series. In fact I recommend it to young people in particular as he was a true role model. He was very intelligent. He knew what he was doing and he did it all very well. It is also objective in portraying Malcolm X. To my absolute surprise their is no political propaganda or sneaky injection of propaganda in the series. Imho this is a 10/10 show. Nothing to complain about whatsoever. Some negative review aren't happy that it wasn't a 100% boxing show. Disregard these, u can watch boxing matches anytime u want. But if u want to know the man that was more than a boxer then watch this show. U will not regret it. It showed the times of Ali in all their aspects and all their sides, it showed a man with a heart of literal gold. And joe Frazier as well had an amazing heart and he managed to get Ali to truly respect him for his heart more than his boxing skills. They became friends as with Foreman. N am just so glad Tyson came and punished Holmes properly. He took advantage with Herbert and King of Ali's Parkinson's. And that's what they'll forever be known for. Awesome work by everyone revolved. Rest in peace Ali n Malcolm X. May Allah forgive any transgressions and as I've failed to meet u in this life, may we all be United in heaven in the afterlife. Peace be to all who read this as well.
