But I will say I personally love the parts with him and LaToya in this interview. I must have fast forwarded through any part that doesn't include Michael too, because I don't remember that. But I love seeing them together because I'm intrigued by their interactions.
Totally agree with this. It is def interesting seeing the brother/sister interactions and how relaxed they are with each other. Which, of course, they would be but it's still interesting to see it. Plus, there's the whole thing with LaToya talking about her career and her hopes and dreams and knowing the context, the crazy Thriller stuff that's going on, it is fascinating. It's actually a little bit sad, really. At approx 17m and ? she says something like, 'everyone wants to be where you are' or 'everyone wants your career' and it's one of those moments that really brings it home, that huge gap between him and his achievements and the rest of the family. Michael is very bashful at that point, IIRC, and sort of says he hasn't done much or something like that. It must have been so weird at Hayvenhurst once Michael's success got to the Thriller level and blew everything else out of the water.
I wasn't being very fair or accurate describing this bit as boring bc it really isn't. Michael doesn't even come over as the 'little' brother in this which is interesting in itself. Once Michael leaves the interview my interest does go out the window. But watching LaToya and Michael together is worth doing at least once. Especially bc all the talk is usually about him and Janet rather than his other sisters.
I think Michael is funny and goofy, but I also find the conversations sort of insightful. At one point Michael asks LaToya what she wants for her life and she says something about wanting to be him, and wanting to be where he is in his career. When she says this, his face reads so many emotions. I can almost see all of these feelings rush through his head and I just find it fascinating.
oh, sorry! I just said this, lol. Yes, that part, there is so much going on there, so much being left unsaid. Facial expressions, body language, it's all so interesting. Makes me wanna be a psychologist, lol.
It's just a great insight into Michael
This.
P.S. And he looks just SO beautiful in this interview. Just sayin'.
