...Greatest is at its best when Ali has others, and himself, analysing and talking about Ali. Ali is clearly very conscious of his media image, of a loud-mouth braggart, sadist (particularly after the Floyd Patterson bouts), and racist white hater. Ali wants to present himself in another light, to offer the public the "real" Ali. He tells us of his early sex life, and his flubbing of a chance with a hooker when he was 16 because he didn't know what to do. He dwells on his shyness with women (a shyness which one suspects still exists). There...
...grudging respect for Sean Connery, the shelk/kidnapper. He, you see, is one of the race of truly great men (the other, says Roosevelt, is J.P. Morgan), and this transcends cultural differences. In this case the cultural differences involved are the fact that Connery's chieftain is a vicious sadist who carves men in two without blinking or thinking twice.

...dubious rationale for it. Through the years he has kicked and chopped his way through most of the other races of man, so it could be argued that it is just a matter of equal rights to let blacks have their chance to play masochists to his pseudo-suave sadist. Not surprisingly, this strained justification fails to relieve the queasiness Live and Let Die induces. Why are all the blacks either stupid brutes or primitives deep into the occult and voodooism? Why is miscegenation so often used as a turn-on? Why do such questions even arise in what...
