So many years after we watched a documentary on Jackson, we finally have a biopic Michael
on Michael Jackson. Written by John Logan, directed by Antoine and featuring Michael’s
own nephew, Jafar Jackson playing the superstar. Does the biopic do justice to the legend,
probably not but then nothing is up to the mark when it comes to MJ.For me the biopic is not
a film to be reviewed, it is a reconnection, a memory to be celebrated do I don’t care for the
imperfections, the limitations.
It does not matter to me whether the director serves a tilted, selective picture, I’m happy to
travel wherever the crew takes me, play whichever albums it wishes.
The narrative travels from Gary in 1966 where Joseph beat up his 8-year-old son and called
him a fat nose. His childhood traumas, his dreams of Peter Pan, his animal farm and the
bursting desire to write his lyrics. His mind was forever bursting with ideas and finally, in
1981 Michael broke free and went solo. But he did his last Victory concert with siblings and
then never looked back.
The biopic is a story of his deep-rooted fears, his aspirations to deliver the best, his
extraordinary talent and his compassion for humanity. His near fatal accident in the middle of
the concert and the physical transformation in coming years.
It is an incomplete biopic but I still love it, so will you, if you love MJ so font edit just Beat
It!
