Michael Jackson: This Is It Documentary Climbs Up The Movie Ratings
As I write this it's hard to believe that only four months ago our King of Pop, Michael Jackson has died. Now soon to be released is his, "This Is It" concert film that captures Michaels last weeks before his untimely passing. It shows Michael doing what he does best, singing and dancing and pouring his heart out to all the world.
Because of the ongoing investigation and controversy surrounding his death, many of us will have the same thoughts about going to see it and will probably ask the question, "Is this too soon after his funeral?"
The "This Is It" film is more a behind the scenes documentary showing the rehearsals of his 50-show run at London's O2 arena and was to be the King of Pop's final tour. Because he was in the middle of these rehearsals led many to believe he was too frail or sick, or even under the influence of drugs to be able to complete this tour.
But watching the film you can see he was not. To complete this documentary was a huge undertaking for Director and Choreographer Kenny Ortega. Kenny had over 100 hours of rehearsal footage to choose from to give the audience a glimpse of what Michael goes through for the biggest and best concert tour ever. It was condensed into an almost two hour footage including some of Michael's biggest hits like "Billie Jean".
Michael's friend, Director and Choreographer Kenny Ortega poured his heart into this documentary. It was a huge undertaking for him because he had over 100 hours of rehearsal footage to go through. It was to be the biggest and best concert tour ever for Michael. Kenny gives us almost two hours to enjoy the King of Pop. He gives us a glimpse of what Michael experiences on stage before concerts. The rehearsals are spectacular and it's exciting to watch a strong Michael glide effortlessly across the floor. He pours his heart and soul out with every song. He laughs and jokes with his team. It's quite a film to watch.
He was upbeat, joking and laughing and showed such compassion and kindness toward his team members even though he guided them with a firm hand. He strived for perfection from himself to each member of the dance team, including the musicians, and special effects team alike. And after each practice he always gave a "God Bless" or "It's all for love" to everybody.
You can see that he always wanted everyone to laugh and have fun. It was very interesting to watch Michael because he was such a perfectionist and it showed.
The "This Is It" documentary film truly shows that Michael was happy and healthy in the weeks leading up to his death. One can't help but question why.
Whether you are a Michael Jackson fan or not, I can guarantee you that "This Is It" will make you think twice about him. The guy had a tremendously big heart for people and his music. You get that. And you feel it. And you won't help but dance in your seat when you watch it. It's very obvious after watching the King of Pop, that he was truly happy and healthy in the weeks before his untimely death. Although he will be missed dearly, we can now go back again and again through the "This Is It" film footage to revisit our dear friend who will forever live on in our hearts, as we were in his. - 18424
