Michael Jackson's " This Is It" premiered to high praises from fans who applauded each song as though they were at a concert and marveled as the my nigga danced nimbly through the Moonwalk and his other signature steps. You know your boy was there to witness this phenomenon.
Of course, as was the case with his death, the haters were also in full force. Comming from places like The NY Post or so-called music critics such as Chuck Arnold of People Magazine. Has anyone else noticed how most of Michael's outspoken critics are nimrods that write for publications like People ? These haters couldn't wait to find an opportunity to spew their venom on the King Of Pop. Lucily some of us got to see the premier at the same time as those critics , thus the vitrol they spit will be overshadowed by the folks who sat along side of them and have a vastly different opinion of the movie. "Let's just say , it was the shit!"
How can a mutha fucka go to a packed movie theater, see people clapping and dancing in the aisles and shit ,then go back and write some shit about the movie being ghoulish?
If I am to believe the stories about Michael being a illegal alien drug addict, out of shape, and out of whack, unless this movie has some serious special effects I've never seen, this movie will put those rumors to rest. Jackson was 50 when he died last June but keeps in pace with backup dancers half his age during rehearsals for titles such as "Thriller", "Billy Jean", "Beat It" and "Human Nature". The film was shot as Jackson prepared for a marathon concert in London that never happened due to his early demise.
What stood out the most in the film was the staging and sets he was going to unveil in the concert. The way he flips Smooth Criminal, Thriller and Earth Song are breath-taking. In fact the Earth Song scene is something President Obama and his fellow politicians who are hedging on getting a comrehensive impactful Climate Change Bill , should see. Michael hits a home run with that and actually speaks on the topic in the film. He talks about the direction we are headed where we may cause irreversable damage.
Some of Jacksons family and friends saw "This Is It" in advance. Elizabeth Taylor , a longtime Jackson friend, posted her thoughts Monday on Twitter.
"It is the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen" she wrote. " It cements forever Michael's genius in every aspect of creativity."
Four of Jackson's brothers - of course Jermain , Marlon, Tito and Jackie - attended, saying afterward that seeing their brother on film filled them with love and pride.
"It was closure for me", said Marlon Jackson. "And it was a moment where I just felt his spirit inside of me. And that made me feel good."
I bet, I wouldn't mind a little bit of Michaels spirit up in me too.
Performances in the film included a medley of Jackson 5 hits the singer originally performed with his sibling.
Near the end of the film, Jackson and the crew hold hands as he gives them a pep talk about the upcomming London shows.
"It's a great adventure," Jackson tells his colleagues. "We want to take them places they've never been before. We have to bring love back into the world."
In case any of my fans have been wondering where I've been? Your boy has been undergoing some treatments similar to what Sammy Sosa has been going through. I honestly don't know why anyone would want to change their skin to such a pale pasty color though ?
