The Official 'Michael' Bio-Pic Thread

I think we had a similar experience, although I will say I loved it. I set my expectations really low because I just couldn't believe that someone would be able to capture Michael's energy and have it come through but Jaafar knocked it out of the park. It's the Jackson magic that he has, I guess. I think the mouth was one of the biggest things for me. He has the smile. Human Nature was also my favourite part, I thought I was going to lose it. I wish I had been able to see it with fans because other people don't get it.

I made the decision before I walked in the cinema that I was going to have no expectations and just accept that it wasn't going to be an "honest" portrayal of his life or deep insight into who he was as a person and what he went through, or how the people around him really treated him. I felt as a celebration of him it did a lot right. I tensed up when Bubbles showed up because I remember that was such a big part of humiliating him in the press, making it out to be a "weird" relationship and an indictment of him as just a weirdo celebrity. But it was humanizing, he came through as a person who just didn't have friends and who loved and connected with animals.

I was really overwhelmed after watching it and wished I had someone to talk to who would get it. My partners came with me and they enjoyed it but not at all in the same way. It was very intense for me.

Also, hi everyone! Like Alyssa the film brought me back for the first time in over a decade.
So cool the movie brings fans back, ... welcome back to the fam ❣️
 
Hi MJJ Community. I just joined this site.

I think the movie was beautiful. Jafar Jackson did a wonderful job of bringing out Michael's essence. He was so pure and so connected to the rhythm of love and light. I wonder if all the love we have been feeling again this week has had an impact on the vibration of the planet. Michael's superpower is love.

To all the new fans or new joins, welcome to what i consider the lifeline for Michaels fans/legacy! Gary just want to say i been here since 2003 and before that mjfc i thiink it was called. Never seen this Michaelmania again since he last was with us as in Michael or when he did History tour. Gary thanks for carrying on this place when so many others gave up!

The film missed lots of diffrrent things that hardcore fans would know but again this was not for us really! It was for everyone new old, people that loved J5 , that loved Michael as a boy, as a teen/then breaking out into a young man! It was about showing what Michael could offer to the world and boy has it achieved that! To give you an idea i know people that dont go the movies wait for streaming etc! But they had to go for this! So in essence this achieved what the family wanted! Dont forget family is exec producer i knew Prince would not allow anybody to put out crap and they didnt! What they did worked making some fans and non fans go twice or more to see this movie! I love and miss Michael so much he was just a nice person who was so miss understood and taken advantage of. One thing i will say is this film and im sure some upcoming docs now will show is that Legend but also that shy little boy who never had a childhood and loved goofing around, yes with kids! because they did not want anything other than love and pure fun without making him feel threatened which unfortunatly adults had!
We lost a legend but also a kind human being as that is all he was at the end of the day. *beatlesboy*

Yes, I understand what you are saying. I just went in with the expectation that is impossible for any movie to depict the complexity of a person and all the significant points in their lives, especially because Michael was so out of this world. I just wanted to see the magic again. What a beautiful, bright light of a person he is.

"The planets are linin' up
We're bringin' brighter days
They're all in line waitin' for you
Can't you see?"
 
This is one of my favorites:
We're on a mission in the everlastin' light that shines
A revelation of the truth in chapters of our minds

(So long, bad times)
We're gonna shake it up and break it up
We're sharin' a light brighter than the sun...
 
Was it a good thing that Tatum O’Neal didn't appear? On the one hand, a scene with her could have shown that MJ was shy and attracted to women, on the other hand, she was still very young at the time of the romance, which would have been grist for the mill of the haters.

Michael the cosmologist? 😯🤩

Never looked at these lyrics from that song, really ...
 
Do you think we will get a directors cut?
I dont think so, very limited deleted scenes maybe on the bluray, the rest is saved for part 2.
