This essay is based on the true-life story of Malcom X an African American revolution leader of the 20^th century who was committed to fighting racism in the society. The essay makes a comparison by drawing the similarities and differences with a film actor, Curtis, who was dedicated to fighting class discrimination in the train, in the film described in this essay. Both of them were clearly born leaders because they possessed exceptional skills that offered them the opportunities to lead as soon as the opportunity presented itself. A major turn out in this essay is only that whereas Malcom X is a happening of a true-life history that actually happened, that of Curtis is just a film fantasy that tried to put across a message for a certain class of people in the society.
