This is It
Usually we don’t review movies in this space, but since we talked about the Michael Jackson concert series that was planned back last summer, it seems fitting. The documentary film was originally intended as a big concert film that was supposed to show the behind the scenes of the biggest shows of his career. Michael Jackson’s background is shown in this film and it’s really beautiful. While he might not be as meek in the rehearsals as in public, he’s still calm and kind. He is also clearly in charge. He was involved with every part of the performance, from auditions to the music to the movie shown in the background. He was clearly a perfectionist and it’s great to see how good he was at what he did, even though it’s a little bittersweet to see since his passing.
