A Fitting Final Performance
My wife asked me to see this movie tonight as sort of a preview,to let her know if we should see it together on our day off.As we are both Michael Jackson fans,I would have to give an emphatic “YES” to that.I was really apprehensive,since I thought that it would just be some rehearsals with tons of filler(biographical info,etc),but most of the numbers were pretty fleshed out,music and choreography wise.Some of the special effects were amazing,and I really liked the extended intro of “The Way You Make Me Feel”.I liked the way they tried to make the film feel like a performance,rather than a eulogy.The talent,from the dancers to the musicians to the lighting and effects crew were just first rate all the way.I thought beforehand that this might be just a cynical cash grab-one more trip to the ATM from Michaels legacy,but honestly,I think they may just be trying to recoup some of the enormous costs of putting on a show that never came to fruition.And if some of us fans can enjoy seeing MJ one more time in such a classy way,Im all for it.

Thriller
No one has any apology to make about this wonderful documentary, least of all Kenny Ortega. When I heard he intended to take “rehearsal” footage of the “This Is It” tour and market it as a film, I assumed it was an attempt to recoup the investment made in the project. Who could have guessed that this film would stand on its own and also enter the echelons of the “best” documentaries about rock music ever made? No less, Michael Jackson reveals more about himself in this footage than we’ve ever seen before. It’s his premiere moment on film, and I would guess he would not have wanted it shown only because we see—for the first time—Jackson without a mask. I won’t attempt to characterize this complicated, insanely talented, person, but basically he’s painfully shy. And he excelled at one of the most public vocations there is: performing.

What’s interesting about the footage is that it exists at all. But since concerts today use video projection for the large venues where they play, it was natural to include the cameras during the rehearsal period. And it’s riveting! Nothing is ever less than compelling in large part due to the level of talent in all quarters. The dancers, the musicians, the back-up singers, sets, costumes it’s a parade of the best of the best. While Jackson is the center of all of this, if you don’t care for him, there’s plenty of other things to look at and enjoy.

Any sadness is brought by the viewer. There’s not one nod to Jackson’s demise or when it occurs. He looks thin, but even in a rehearsal mode, he’s electrifying, and I think that’s why the film works. We’re not at some huge arena (for which the concert was conceived) with 10,000 screaming fans. And rather than missing that electricity, we get intimate performances of familiar Jackson material. But it’s re-imagined and you never know what’s coming next.

An alert: there is footage throughout the final credit sequence and after the credits end. And if you can, see it in a DP theater…for the sound alone. An amazing experience!
