      HEY MICHAEL

      In the second year of junior high school, the music teacher showed us MJ's concert. He also danced with MJ's dance steps. I thought it was very interesting, but I was still attracted by your stage momentum on the screen. At that time, I really hoped that I was a member of the stage. . I didn't expect my dream to come true, but unfortunately not off the stage, but in the cinema.

      I've been listening to your negative news all the time, and what's even more disgusting is that when I...

      It's not like this!

      For a series of strange phenomena in society, I have to say a few words. A long time ago, when MJ's career began to go downhill, the major newspapers fell to the ground. A series of negative news such as "homosexuality", "child abuse" and "drugs" are frequently reported. And when Michael left us, these newspapers slogan "Miss MJ". Even the "child abuser" party came to join in and apologized and said "lied".

        uninteresting.

        Reminds me that Leslie Cheung was like that back...

      miss

      It takes courage to like him, because there are too many criticisms around. I have seen his SPEED DEMON MV. To be honest, I didn't really like that song at first, but at the end of the film, I will never forget his bright smile. It's so gorgeous. Sadness, if this kind of smile can accompany him all his life, how good it would be to accompany the people who love him all his life.

      I don't believe he is a bad person. A bad person can't live so painfully or laugh so brilliantly. It's been...

      you are so amazing

      I went to the cinema in 2009 and watched it several times in the past few years. Every time I watch it, the more I understand music, the more I admire Mike's talent. experience of. My life has always been about finding authority and overthrowing authority. Young idols can’t stand up to scrutiny (not to mention the specifics). Mike and I started listening to them when I was in junior high school, but I only started worshiping them when I was middle-aged. There was no way. This...

      i just want to write

      It took a long time to see the movie.
      I was very excited before watching it, and I waited for him to surprise me again.
      To be honest I've never been his fan, and probably not now. I was just amazed and shocked by his dance. Watching his concert with his best friend in high school was like Dangerous at the '95 MTV Awards. Impressed, completely subdued, this is the best dance move, the most perfect stage, the most handsome posture, the strongest aura, and the most unsettling performance...

      I have a lot of admiration for the singers who have bought tapes. I hope that one day they can learn the moon dance steps and use them to excel on the basketball court. Maybe we just hope that when we are 50 years old, we can be as religious and spiritual as...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Director Kenny Ortega said that many people have a lot of misunderstandings about MJ . "That's it" also shoulders such a difficult task. It must rectify the name of MJ, so there will be some paragraphs in "That's it" to explain MJ's life. Bit by bit   .
    In the beginning, all the preparations were for MJ's concert, but it was unexpected that Jackson's sudden death and the original work plan was completely disrupted. There were many plans...

    Background creation

    The most shocking news in the entertainment industry in the summer of 2009 was the death of MJ . Kenny Ortega was originally the director of MJ's farewell concert, but because of MJ's unexpected death, he reluctantly became the director of this documentary. For this documentary recording the last footprints of MJ’s life, Kenny Ortega, who served as the director, naturally seemed to have a heavy responsibility. MJ spent several months...
