In the film, a composite character representing Bimbi and Malcolm's brother Reginald is used.

Which part do you consider to be the grave error?
Taking his brothers punishment personal and subsequently the words he said publically about the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

He aired out Elijah Muhammad and the NOI only AFTER they put a greenlight on his life. Members had been silenced or temporarily banished for violations before. He thought that he would serve out his punishment, but then he was told of the hit by the person they picked to blow up his car. The NOI member said he saw the positive effect that Malcolm made on the community, so he couldn't follow the orders.
Nothing Malcolm had done/said up to that point warranted a call for his death. He began airing the NOI out after that.

Thank you for this, contrary to NOI lies Malcolm was not taught by Elijah, Bimbi, his parents, Marcus Garvey and Ella Collins etc taught Malcolm. Malcolm was a Garveyite since he was born.
Elijah Muhammad was an Incestuous Pedophile who raped his own niece.

In the interest of time, filmmakers do this rather than introduce multiple characters.
If your post is making some kind of joke, I don't get it.
No, I have the book accompanying this film I know baines was a composite
I'm saying that this scene is also a composite of the NOI's attitude toward malcolm as well

Oh, yeah. Malcolm was honest and a straight arrow. The element in the NOI that wasn't like that didn't want him in charge, and used the Elijah Muhammad scandal as an opening to force him out. Also jealousy because of the high profile that he had, and his assumed position of eventually taking the reigns when Elijah Muhammad passed.
