I really love the movie so far but the fans online are literally screaming with foam at the mouth, saying it’s going to be one of the most legendary movies of all time and that Michael mania will start again. And don’t even get me started on how they swear on their mamas and ancestors souls that it’s going to win gazillions of oscars

That's just Stan culture, almost every artist has one

But I mean, imagine when the Nicki Minaj biopic comes out, lord knows what the barbs will be saying then.

That's one of the reasons why I totally understand Paris and was miffed at the way some fans shunned her. I criticized the way she contested the movie - by insinuating something is off with the story, but she's right in the sense that Branca's hands are all over this in a self serving way. I am super excited for the biopic, of course, but it doesn't feel right in the back of my mind.

The Tohme Tohme part is super interesting. Tohme Tohme = AEG = Branca. It really was a takeover

They are all crooks as far as I’m concerned especially Thome Thome. Mike should have stay away from them he’d be still alive. SmFH
 
i miss Michael so much right now. he's never coming back and the world will never be able to experience him, or hear his side of the story, ever again. i'm so heartbroken. this trailer really put into perspective to me how this isn't real Michael at all. no disrespect or diss to anyone who worked hard for this of course
 
I also have this feeling, if Michael were alive today, even if they had contacted him about making this movie or maybe didn’t tell him at all and just started shooting, I feel like he might have been against it. Toward the end of his life, he wasn’t really that close to his family anymore. There were still tensions, distances, things left unresolved and sometimes they didn’t call him or he didn’t call them. Because he would see sJanet playing in a movie, he was saying “I didn’t even know about this… no one told me...” That’s the feeling I get, if it make sense.
Michael knew his life wasn’t perfect and NEITHER was his story. To make a movie about him would mean showing all sides of him like the good, the bad, the messy, the complicated. And I think he would have been very cautious about that because it’s like being completely exposed, like standing naked in front of the world. I actually feel like he wouldn’t have wanted that
 
I think they did a great job. I am not talking about any numbers that the biopic will make, but this movie is possibly gonna do good with all the respect to his life and legacy. Yes, there were complications in Michael's life, he was a human being after all. But we are those who know his life circumstances better than the general public. And this one is more to those who didn't know about Pepsi accident for example. I feel sorry though that Paris distanced from that and Prince is all in. I feel sorry that the biopic might have brought something bad to their family relations. I wish they all coped be on the same page. Especially the estate. ESPECIALLY.

Hopefully we will get a decent respectful biopic without major sugarcoating. Plus I'd like to mention that the trailer didn't look much plastic and generic to me. Colors and cinematography are pretty good.
 
Is it just me or the hype and views for this trailer lacklustre? It’s just been released but the view count of the trailer is fairly low

Maybe it was a ethical and safety concern. Do you really want real animals being forced to perform for the cameras?

Yes. It's been done forever and they're well treated. "No animals were harmed in the making of this film"...

CGI animals look fake, they take you out of the scene, and they're just laziness on the part of the filmmakers because, as is well known, the most difficult work on a movie set is working with children or animals.

Maybe next child actors will be replaced with CGI.
 
You know, more I watch it more I like it. Yeah, it's absolutely a Bohemian Rhapsody style.

The 2 most important moments for me are Pepsi incident consequences and little Michael watching out the window (maybe at his classmates playing and running). That will explain to general public the real reasons of his changing looks and so called "strange behavior". In fact Michael was the first kidult and now we've got the whole generation of them.
 
Other than the fact that it's clearly a standard fare Hollywood biopic and nothing special in that regard, I hope they can sort out some of the inconsistencies with the CGI nose. It currently seems to change dramatically between shots that are set in the same era or even the same year. There are shots where the CGI clearly hasn't been applied yet, so hopefully everything gets sorted by the time they hand in the final cut
