The Official 'Michael' Bio-Pic Thread

[MJess]

I feel like it was totally "sugarcoated".

Everything Michael had to go through was only shown in little glimpses... Joe beating him, calling him out about his nose, vitiligo, being lonely etc. was displayed but I didn't really feel the pain these things caused Michael. That's why I wrote: some silent moments/inner dialogue would have emphasized these topics way, way more. Also, more details... imagine, only filming his eyes, filled with tears for some seconds when he is sad about something, combined with a voiceover where he's talking about his feelings, almost crying, stuff like that...

When I hear Michael talk in interviews about his suffering, it almost takes my breath away, I didn't really have that in the movie.

That's one thing...and of course, like other members have said that everyone has his/her flaws and they didn't really show them.

And also, the whole Hollywood/being famous - circus...in reality it's only beautiful on the outside, you have to sacrifice your freedom when you're famous, which will destroy most people. They could have emphasized more, how impossible it was for him to go outside and be a "normal" human being. The shopping scene with the autographs was very...relaxed.

That's what I felt...have to watch it again...

Ah, I see. Yeah, I kinda get that those things could be what she's (Paris) is referring to, but again, if I were her, I wouldn't have been so ambiguous in my statement.

I think we all know Motown was kinda toxic and I'm sure he went through a lot (and he was a cutthroat businessman) to get to the top... but I like that it showed him as the childlike, caring person that (I believe) he was

Will watch it again on Sunday with a friend (not an MJ fan). I am very interested in her opinion... hope she's not too biased because I already told her my rating .

And probably one more time...but the week after

 

[mjfan05]

I will watch it a few times too. It's likely my only chance in life to hear MJ music on huge speakers.

I've been 4x so far. Would love to go IMAX again (as well as experience the movie for the first time, what a rush that was)

 

[t1mber]

I'll go on Saturday for my 4th time. Then next weekend for the 5th.

Went with my dad and he liked it very much. He was glad I made him go, and he even liked the thriller portion more than the original.

 

[innuendo141]

Continuously eating my words, as I will be certainly going a third time this week.

They used rehearse the J5 choreography in Suzanne's kitchen so I thought she might have had a slightly bigger role in the film.

I would definitely want Suzanne de Passe in part 2...her screen time in part 1 is just too fleeting ..she deserves more! ..
.. she's been a part of J5 to Michael solo successes

 

[Xscape2040]

Damn, i want to go again, but I probably wont make it again. Its such a shorts window to see it.

 

[MsAshley]

id go again if tickets werent a small fortune
