this is it

we saw the michael jackson movie “this is it“. here is my honest review.
the film was interesting for a couple of reasons. first of all it gives you a look at the creative side of michael in a way that few have ever seen. it shows you what its really like to put together a show on such a large scale. secondly you get a chance to see who michael really was. granted its not the full picture but it does give a rare look into his personality and behavior. this footage was never meant to be seen by anyone other than michael. therefore he was really himself. the true picture of michael as he created and rehearsed as well as dealt with people was all there for the viewer to see.
the film was basically just footage from his rehearsal leading up to the big tour. it is really well put together. it was not a reality show with a producer squeezing emotion and drama out of every minute. if you are looking for a movie then you will be disappointed. this movie would be interesting to 2 types of people,those in show business or entertainment and those who are big fans of michael jackson. everyone else would be bored i think. i am not saying that to criticize the movie. i loved it. i was very entertained. i was inspired. i learned alot. i have a new found respect for michael. i am honestly blown away by who he was and how he dealt with people. he really was a creative genius. the thing i saw that impressed me most is that he really did care for people. he showed love to everyone who worked with him. his patience and respect for his crew was unbelievable.
i enjoyed the film. it is sad to see him gone. i think that this film is not for everyone but for those who are fans or in entertainment business ,”this is it”
