If you don't want to read it all, I review the documentary and the fact it was unfair and bias. It had shown his very worst pictures of him from all eras. It gave mention on his vitiligo and had Latoya defending the fact Michael had only two, the fact that aging was a major factor. The interviewees claimed Michael had over 100 surgeries from just visual interpretations. Please read.
Review:
Overall, the documentary had some mixed views on Michael.
First of all it talks about his big nose, acne and very difficult childhood. They even accept this and the interviewees felt somewhat sympathetic.
Next it talks about surgery between the Off The Wall era to thin the top of his nose, it does mention the groundbreaking success of the album and even the pictures from this era seemed like his worst pictures of that time. LaToya mentions that she was used as a guinea pig "to see if it hurts". She claims that Joe used to severely bully Michael's nose.
Next, it moves on to the Thriller era and that groundbreaking success and impact on music, mentioning it being the biggest selling album of all time and seemed to defend Michael's exposure to the public. LaToya from this point had claimed that Michael's last surgery was in 1986 on his nose, the changes were due to aging and the fact that the nose continues to grow. It does mention Michael's scalp burns and how it damaged his face and hair. It was claimed that Michael had used tattoos on his head to conceal the burns. Photos during the Thriller era were the worst possible photos once again from that era.
It then talks about the change in 1986-7, a cleft was put on to his chin and Latoya had said there was no cheek-bone surgery and that the Jackson's had high cheekbones. It talks about the success of Bad and how he concealed his face in Smooth Criminal. The interviewees say this gave him a tougher look. It's at this point, some controversies about Michael were stated, nothing on the accusations as of yet, but the fact he was hunted by the media.
The changes between 1988-1991, tell about Michael's lightening skin and even thinner nose, which was denied and I still don't believe he had more than two. They had shown pictures I had never seen before of Michael's vitiligo in an emotional scene of Michael's disease, which did in fact run in the family. Michael was advised to bleach his skin, hence the reason the colour changed faster than normal. The photos shown from this era seem to look like photos around 1992-1994 rather than 1991. The slander continued, ignoring the fact he had aged. It talks about Black Or White which was Michael's way of defending himself and at the end it apparently reflects his own transformation.
The same goes for the next few years, it was claimed that Michael had even more to thin his nose, lifting the tip. It talks about his marriage with Lisa Marie Presley and that she was darker than Michael. For some reason, they had mocked Michael's Brits performance and that he acted like Jesus. Once again, his worst possible pictures were shown, other than the ones from the They Don't Care About Us video.
Skip a few years, it spoke about even more surgeries that would make it nearly impossible to breathe. It shows a very pale Michael, and the You Rock My World video was of Michael hiding his face. It then goes on to give a very bizzare claim that the 30th Anniversary Concert was fake and frame on frame, Michael's face was edited. It carries on showing Michael's worst pictures, ignoring the fact he had aged, with a thinner nose and nose tape.
Further on, it makes about 10 more claims of apparent changes. Of course, the horrible documentary would talk about the accusations and no mention of being acquitted. It states that Michael was frail, had a nose that would fall off, no mention of any drug use. But labelled this as the end of his career.
It then shows the This Is It announcement and that the changes again were "drastic", the documentary became nonsense to me, this last period it was as if he had 20 surgeries, but I could only see changes in his nose. They were mentioning Michael's posture which was described a frail and everything said was very negative.
Of course, it would talk about Michael dying (Not the cause), this scene was very brisk, somewhat emotional, but not really sympathetic at all. It then shows how Michael would have lived using CGI if he would have lived to 60, it shows potential further surgeries, wrinkled skin, huge eyes and I believe it was taken over the top (The CGI). It then gives a picture of a black Michael Jackson if he would have had no plastic surgery at 50. It seems to contradict the fact they spoken about the vitiligo which they had confirmed and that the photo was very photogenic with him smiling, rather than the other photos with Michael looking sad and pale, even in the Thriller era.
The nation suffered a misconception and again, a very bias documentary. The apparent one hundred surgeries were just observations made by skin experts rather than medical records. The pictures were very bad pictures of Michael showing even more bias.
