The soon to be released, “This Is It” has Michael Jackson fans pumped and excited to revisit his last weeks before his untimely passing, just four months ago.
Because of the ongoing investigation and controversy surrounding his death, many of us will have the same thoughts about going to see it and will probably ask the question, “Is this too soon after his funeral?”
Some have expressed their views that this concert film is coming too soon after his funeral, perhaps because of the ongoing investigation and controversy surrounding his death.
This was to be the King of Pop’s final tour. If you are thinking that Michael would be frail, sickly or under the influence of drugs as some have implied, think again. He is anything but that.
Michael’s friend, Director and Choreographer Kenny Ortega poured his heart into this documentary. It was a huge undertaking for him because he had over 100 hours of rehearsal footage to go through. It was to be the biggest and best concert tour ever for Michael. Kenny gives us almost two hours to enjoy the King of Pop. He gives us a glimpse of what Michael experiences on stage before concerts. The rehearsals are spectacular and it’s exciting to watch a strong Michael glide effortlessly across the floor. He pours his heart and soul out with every song. He laughs and jokes with his team. It’s quite a film to watch.
He was upbeat, joking and laughing and showed such compassion and kindness toward his team members even though he guided them with a firm hand. He strived for perfection from himself to each member of the dance team, including the musicians, and special effects team alike. And after each practice he always gave a “God Bless” or “It’s all for love” to everybody.
You can see that he always wanted everyone to laugh and have fun. It was very interesting to watch Michael because he was such a perfectionist and it showed.
From the musicians to the dancers, to the special effects, Michael guided his team with a firm hand, but yet showed much compassion, love and kindness toward everyone around him. He was always quick to give a “God Bless” or “It’s all for love” at the end of every practice.
Perhaps this film is exactly what we need to remember him by. A way to keep him forever in our hearts, as I’m sure we will be in his.
