In 2009, I saw this movie because of the addition. The opening of the movie clearly said that "only broadcast for two weeks", I wondered if I was afraid of poor word of mouth, pre-announced that the world 'screen time is limited", has been hesitant, and finally recommended by friends to watch. When the film opens, the doubts are dispelled, glad not to miss this good movie, this movie is a movie played after the death of Michael Jackson, originally scheduled to be held in the summer of 2009 "This is it" farewell concert, but because of michael Jackson's death and can not meet with fans, but before Michael Jackson for this concert, a lot of rehearsals, these processes have been recorded, and in this way, this documentary can be passed on.
At the beginning of the movie, Michael Jackson has not yet appeared, some dancers participated in the audition, saying in unison that it is the most dreamy thing in life to participate in the concert of "Michael Jackson's This Is It", each audition dancer is full of excitement, and sees that working with Michael Jackson is a lifelong glory.
Until Michael Jackson appeared and began to rehearse JAM with the dancers, at this moment, a pang of heartache. If he hadn't died suddenly in the middle of the way, music fans should have been able to cheer and shout with the music and dance with the song on the spot, unlike now quietly watching the screen silently shed tears, lamenting Providence and envying talents.
Before the movie was released, there was a comment that "people are dead, why should we have this movie?" What is the use of releasing a documentary that prepares and rehearses a Theis Is It concert? Do producers want to make money from the dead? I had the same idea, and even suspected that Michael Jackson announced that he was going to do 50 world tours, in order to "eat the old book", use his "bad reputation" to attract wealth and treasure, and fish for the last bucket of gold pension.
The answer is in the movie, the movie tells fans that he is not worthy of the title of "The king of pop", from beginning to end, he is 100% serious about this "This Is It" concert; including all the staff members see working with him as the peak of their lives, and repay Michael Jackson's expectations with heart.
Rehearsal footage and short films remade for concerts include "They Don't Really Care About Us" using stunt effects to create thousands of soldiers dancing on stage; "Smooth criminal", which combines modern Michael Jackson and black-and-white era him to remake the 3D version of "Thriller" MV; "Earth Song" The little girl created runs happily in the beautiful woods, but when she wakes up, she finds that the forest has become purgatory, because there is a big bulldozer, and the film finally puts the bulldozer on the stage, all of which makes the audience marvel.
There is also Michael Jackson's final live singing, and the middle-aged people who are more than half a hundred years old can sing and dance like this, which is admirable! His dance steps are so strong that every cell of his body dances to the beat of music, dancing with his soul, dancing with love! He is worthy of being the king of the stage, mastering the music and stage rhythm without any mistakes, knowing his own songs well, turning his back like a stream, and every link on the stage will not be sloppy.
Through this improvisational form of "I just can't stop loving you", it is clear that Michael Jackson is a musician who was born for music, and he is indeed a musical genius.
In the movie, Michael Jackson's most frequently uttered phrase is "It is why we need rehearsal." Whenever the staff made a mistake in the rehearsal, he would comfort the other party with this sentence. During rehearsals, he often said "I love you" to the staff.
If you're still asking, "Why did you make this movie?" "The film is for those who have worked hard for a long time, before looking forward to the results, but they are shocked to know the final compensation and comfort of the bad news of the protagonist's sudden death, and to give fans who have bought tickets to see the last concert a chance to be attached, looking back on their lives, I am glad to be able to enjoy such an outstanding performer."
