I’m honestly so excited for the Michael movie, just like everyone! We’ve been waiting for it for so long and we REALLY curious to see how it’s going to turn out. But what makes it even more special is knowing that his nephew is playing him. Like think about that for a second, It’s literally his own blood bringing him to life on screen and that’s very symbolic! I don’t even know if Michael ever really spent long time with his nephew but I know they had met and the last time was at some family gathering.
What I really don’t like though, is how people, mostly fans are reacting to the movie. There’s no sense of calm or realistic expectations. Some fans are already losing their minds, acting like this movie is going to break every record ever, that it will automatically be a 150% success and that his nephew is going to be the greatest actor of all time. Some even talk like he’s already the best actor ever and It’s ridiculous and a little weird. I can’t even imagine the pressure on Jaafar, he’s probably reading some of these comments and feeling the weight of trying to do justice to his uncle while not disappointing millions of fans. That’s a lot for anyone, especially someone stepping into the shoes of someone as iconic as Michael!
Personally, I think the movie is going to be really interesting!! There have been countless documentaries about bunch of artists and Michael already but this one feels official, like it’s coming from the family in some way and probably the most engaging we’ve had, that’s exciting on its own. But the way people are overreacting, talking about Oscars and all these awards before the movie has even fully shown anything, is just hilarious. They’ve barely shown the teaser, not even a full trailer and people are already acting like this is the cinematic event of the century
I don’t want to sound boring or preachy but
look at other famous biopics! The most famous one that comes to mind is bohemian rhapsody about queen. People were hyped about it for months, the actor who played Freddie Mercury got his awards, everyone was talking about it and then after that, almost nothing. The hype faded, the discussions stopped and only some fans really keep talking about the movie or critiquing it. Even then, many said it wasn’t 100% accurate or didn’t capture everything properly! That’s exactly what’s going to happen with the Michael movie too and I know it 100%. People going completely overboard right now, acting like it’s going to change cinema forever, will later calm down. They’ll start noticing things that aren’t fully accurate and they’ll become skeptical, that’s just how it works.
So my advice? Just calm down! Support the movie, yes, because it’s about Michael and it’s wonderful that people are talking about him again in a respectful, positive way. But there’s no need to go crazy, over analyze or build IMPOSSIBLE expectations. I truly believe his nephew wouldn’t take on a role that disrespects his uncle and neither would the family allow it. So just enjoy it, appreciate it and let it be what it is. That’s already enough!
