As I write this it's hard to believe that only four months ago our King of Pop, Michael Jackson has died. Now soon to be released is his, "This Is It" concert film that captures Michaels last weeks before his untimely passing. It shows Michael doing what he does best, singing and dancing and pouring his heart out to all the world.
Because of the ongoing investigation and controversy surrounding his death, many of us will have the same thoughts about going to see it and will probably ask the question, "Is this too soon after his funeral?"
Michael Jackson died on June 25th in the year 2009, and in the month of October a movie will be out. Actually not a movie, but a "behind the scenes" documentary for his 50-show run at London's O2 arena.
It's actually a behind the scenes documentary showing the weeks before what was suppose to have been Michael's final tour with a 50-show run at London's O2 arena. Some say they would be reluctant to watch it; afraid to see a weak and frail Michael or maybe even under the influence of drugs. I'm here to tell you that is not the case.
Director and Choreographer Kenny Ortega had a huge task before him with over 100 hours of rehearsal footage to choose from. The documentary completed is almost two hours of Michael's rehearsals including his biggest hits like "Billie Jean", "Wanna Be Startin Something", "Smooth Criminal" and "Black and White".
"This is it" gives you a glimpse behind the scenes and what the King of Pop experiences to create such a huge show. It shows Michael strong and moving effortlessly, singing and dancing wonderfully as he always does, pouring his heart out, song after song, joking and laughing with his staff and team members.
Yes, our King of Pop had a very big heart for his music and all his fans, and it shows in the film footage. Even if you weren't a big fan of his, I guarantee you will take away exactly that. You will also know in your heart that he wanted to do this last tour for all of us.
The "This Is It" documentary film truly shows that Michael was happy and healthy in the weeks leading up to his death. One can't help but question why.
He loved to love us. I think this film helped me cope with his passing. A way to keep Michael in our hearts, as we are in his.
