text: what's the name of this denzel washington film? i saw a clip from it, where he is working on a train serving these fat cat dudes in the buffet car. one of the dudes gives him a dollar as a tip and tells him what a good porter he is. denzel realises that he is being condescended upon and imagines trying to strangle the old dude. he snaps out of it and grins his thanks with a smile - any ideas? i think it may have been one of his earlier films. wasnt that malcolm x?
