Confessions of a Dangerous Mind was based on game show host Chuck Barris ' widely debunked yet popular memoir of the same name, in which he claimed to be a CIA agent. The Oliver Stone film The Doors , mainly about Jim Morrison , was highly praised for the similarities between Jim Morrison and actor Val Kilmer , look-wise and singing-wise, but fans and band members did not like the way Val Kilmer portrayed Jim Morrison, [ 13 ] and a few of the scenes were even completely made up.

The film is based on the heroic acts of a German industrialist, Oskar Schindler Liam Neeson , and his vigorous attempts to save more than a thousand Polish-Jewish refugees from the Holocaust. While imprisoned, he meets another convict Baines Albert Hall , who becomes a mentor to him and eventually converts him to Islam and consequentially as a member of the religious and political organization, the Nation of Islam.
Malcolm becomes highly invested in the group and idolizes its lifestyle teachings, such as resenting White people for mistreating his race.
