This film documents Jacksons last few rehersals for his This Is It tour before his death. Michael’s personality really showed in the movie. I’ve heard how nice and professional he was from other celebrity interviews, but when you watch this movie you see this first hand. Not only is he nice and professional but he is also funny. It amazes me that someone that has been ridiculed in the public eye for so long can still have a wonderful personality.
The performances he had planned for this tour, as displayed in the movie, were epic! He’s still got the moves that everyone wishes they had, and make you want to get out of your seat and dance and sing along (which I almost did in the theater).
Latoya Jackson was asked if her brother would want this movie to come out, she answered “No.” Her reason was because Michael was a perfectionist and always wanted his fans to see him at his best, and he was not at his best during rehersals. Although Michael may not have wanted to have this movie come out I am glad it was made. It shows his amazing musical abilities, personality, and all the work everyone put into this tour (which would have been possibly the most incredible tour ever!)
From This Is It you remember why Michael Jackson has been loved so much over the years. He truly is the King of Pop.
