Oh you all gonna bite my ass now aren't you. Not only I've been on hiatus for months and breathing in a papersack all these months trying to cope and rebuilding my life etc but I haven't had any time or will to watch This is it. I must admit it feels like something I wouldn't just hide under the bed.

I was known (for myself) to watch every single documentary, shows and interviews about Michael but since his death I haven't had any will to watch it. Please bare with me, I still care for Michael and find it hard to watch and see anything with him. So what do you think I should do? I've put on rental just a few days ago but I am still very concerned to watch it. What were your thoughts about this documentary? Good or bad?
 
Like you I haven't seen This is It either, nor have I purchased the dvd. I have been watching other things I have in my own dvd collection. Some of us just aren't ready, there is nothing wrong with it everyone greives differently. I take comfort in the fact that whenever i decide I am ready I can see whenever I decide. Don't let anyone push you to do something you aren't ready for.
 
I liked it very much. (Hi to you legacy member. It makes me happy to see you come back). I saw it 5 times and went with different people each time. If you watched all things Mj before, you will possibly like this just because of the good light it sheds on MJ! I know I saw him in a setting I had never seen before. And, in the movie, he seems ever present. It only hit me at the end that it was really the end (Now it is difficult to watch the ending). I am glad you are better now and are even able to face watching it.

Take care!
 
The last seconds are hard yeah but overall its a nice movie that sheds Michael in a positive light.
The movie itself is not that emotional i think, its just that at the end you think....thats it.
 
It's what Michael would want us to see - believe me. The real him, as a humanitarian caring for the planet, as an artist caring for his work and giving all the best, and most importantly as a human being - funny, generous, loving, friendly. It's all pure Michael, and you will love the film. Truly a blessing to have it as the last piece of art from him. And what a piece of art it is...
 
Well the thing is that I knew how michael was, I didn't know him as a person cause I never met him but through his music and his being, so that's nothing new just seeing him and knowing a couple of days later he was in heaven is just heartbreaking for me still... so I dont know how I can cope watching it with good feelings..... its gonna be hard I know... thats why I decided to not watch it.... if ever I don't know we'll see...
 
Just take your time then. I can understand why it would be heard for you. I own the DVD and I haven't even seen some of the unreleased extra footage they put on there. If you are going to watch it, just have tissues near by. If you feel you can't take it ever only watching a few minutes of it, then turn it off. Don't feel bad if you can't watch it. But as for the actual content of the video, the dvd is awesome. It is hard for me to watch too. I would like to watch it more then I do (only seen the total film twice).. then just clips of it as others have watched it).. I just get sad after watching it so I try not to watch it, even though I want to.

Anyways, good luck, don't force yourself to watch it, just take your time. :) (hugs) to you.
 
Don't upset because you havent seen it yet dear

see it when you are ready.

But if you ever do watch it, you won't regret it I promise.
 
Its a good documentary.It shows a genius at work.Michael was totally in charge!!!!!!!! The show would have been MAGICAL!!!!!!!!!

Take your time & don't force yourself to watch it.It was very difficult for me at first......very sad, but we get to see Michael like we've never seen him before....& there are some funny clips as well......there's clip where he's laughing his ass off & u can't help but laugh with him.....there were other great clips as well but i got to warn you...the last few seconds will tear you apart :-(

Welcome back :hug:

I think it's fine that you haven't seen it. It's so personal to every fan that I think when each is ready, they will watch it, if not, like you, they will wait. Nothing wrong with that at all.

In some ways I wish I hadn't rushed out to see it because I was so distraught that I sobbed all the way to the theater and they had to ask if I was okay when I walked in, etc. It was very stressful. I'm glad I went but it wasn't easy.

I think it is very good. There will be parts that you will cry. Which parts depend on you. For me there were a few, I won't say what they were because I don't want to tell you details before you watch it. Just have some tissues and maybe a favorite stuffed animal or pillow with you? It might help :huggy: There is nothing negative in it though, so in that regard it is very safe to watch.

Enjoy it, cry, laugh, smile and love every moment of Michael.

When you are ready ;)
 
Theres no hurry to watch it hunny, in your own time. I have only watched it once and none of the extra stuff, now its been put away for when i'm ready again. The thing is though if i had not brought it then i think it would eat me up not having it but now i do have it is my choice whether i watch it or leave it on the shelf.
When you are ready you will cry, smile and be thankfull that you have it.
:hug:
 
It's good to see you back here, Cindy :huggy:

It's an excellent documentary and shows how perfect the concerts would've been. Michael's singing is beautiful beyond words, and his dancing is just as magical as ever (even though it's just rehearsals, and he's not giving it 100% like he would've if there was audience there). All of my friends that have seen it have loved it too, even the ones who aren't that much into Michael. So, I highly recommend the movie to everyone!

How will it feel emotionally to see it? Well, that's something I can't answer for you, cuz it's different for each of us. When I went to see it in the movies I cried like a baby. But not because of the way the movie was done, but because I miss Michael so much. They could've shown him just standing there for two hours and I think I still would've cried just for missing him so much. I've seen the movie many many times by now, and there are always bits that make me emotional. And the ending still makes me tearful every time..

The worst thing is to see him there dancing and laughing and enjoying himself and knowing, that just a blink of an eye later he was gone.. Just like you said. Gone to heaven. That's what makes it sooo heartbreaking :cry:

If you think you can't handle seeing it yet, then don't. You'll have all the time in the world to do it later. And if you do decide to watch it now, perhaps it would be helpful to have some other fan or a close friend there to watch it with you? So that you'd have someone there to comfort you if it gets too painful.

Just do what feels right for you :)
 
Loved it. But watch it when you're ready or never. Members of Michael's family saw it immediately, and others still haven't.

Do what's best for you. It's hard enough grieving for him, no need to compound that grief by watching TII if your instincts are telling you you're not ready yet.
 
I cant watch the DVD yet myself. I saw the extra features. But I couldnt watch anymore. Its actually a bit much for me at the moment. But soon enough, I'll pick it up and pop it in for full length viewing. :)
 
Don't be sad because you haven't seen it yet. You're just not ready! We all grieve differently. Watch it when you feel like it's time to, you won't regret seeing it!
 
i don't think i'll ever watch TII :mello:
 
yeah I have that feeling in my body now... its not like I can take it but to think it'll be last I ever see anything NEW its just.. not fun
 
Aww :hug:

Just take your time and watch it when it feels like you could watch it. It will never be fun to watch it though, knowing what happenened.. in my opinion its just something everyone should see. Even for us fans, who know how Michael was as a person etc. but to see how the concerts would've been.. it's just amazing. Makes you so proud to be an MJ fan, I promise!

And welcome back btw :)
 
I haven't seen This Is It yet either. Nor have I heard the song. Because I just can't handle it right now. And I really don't know when I will be able too. I have both the dvd and cd of This Is It. But I still have trouble watching and seeing pictures of Michael in his final days. So you should see This Is It when you feel you are ready to. Just like I know I will see This Is It and hear the song when I am ready to.
 
You just take all the time you need.
I saw it 4 times in cinema and 2 times on DVD I love it.
But it's true that when you see the last songs coming you know the end is near and that's the sad part.
 
:huggy:
hey beautiful .
give your self as much time as needed .
nice to see you .

Whatever you feel is right. If your not ready your not ready, maybe you never will be. It does'nt mean you love him and less or are less of a fan, it shows how much you do care to! :)
I have to say i love it! I havent stopped watching, dont get me wrong, its so upsetting and every time i watch it im sat crying for 2 hours. But! Theres something so beautiful about it and knowing he was around beautiful people ,and he seemed so happy towards the end is so lovely to know i think! :)
 
This is it is a positive thing. I dont know if im in the minority or not. But when I watched him performing, I felt happiness. Not so much sadness.

I was happy that he was still so amazing! But the only sad part was that we didnt get to see the actual shows, and of course just the fact that hes not here anymore.

I smiled all the way through.
 
I adore watching TII, seeing Michael up there fills me with so much pride and happiness. But ever since getting the DVD and watching it a couple times I haven't watched it since. Just can't bring myself to watch it again as have had a really rough couple of weeks in regards to missing Michael. Everyone just needs to take their own time to watch it and watch it when they're ready.
 
I've not watched it yet. I was using the excuse I didn't want to see it for the first time in public, but even though it's now out on DVD I still don't feel ready, and I'm still in no rush to buy it
 
You must be feeling some desire to see the movie or else you wouldn't have started this thread. I understand how difficult it is. My advice is, don't watch it because you feel like you have to and don't avoid it because you are afraid. Listen to your heart.

I enjoyed every minute of it. Michael was so alive in This Is IT that I honestly did not think about the fact that he was gone until the very end. I was so engrossed in seeing him again in all his creative genius. I have watched it a few times since and it seems sad now to watch it. But the first time i was entirely captivated by his presence.
 
I just heard the rip of Michael stole from Paul Anka "This is it".... it wasn't that good, didnt like it ... sorry guys
