Michael
this movie deserves a review after so long. first off, forget what the critics say.
the amount of excitement i felt in every scene of this film. my eyes were glued to the screen. plus, its creepy but cool how jaafar looks like michael. on that note, the film’s casting was very good - as if you cast the actual joe jackson for instance. the songs used were perfectly used with each part (like the making of beat it). finally that last few scenes of michael finnaly dismissing his father’s authority and choosing to not only make his own path, but for his own brothers too. everything for me was just beautiful: the memories of watching michael jackson youtube music videos as a kid, family members talking about him. everything. i would watch this 100 times and not get bored. for me, this is one of the best movies of the year.
