Yesterday I went to the movie to watch This is it (Chinese translation: Let's go), I went there as a non-professional fan of MJ. Since he is not a professional, of course he cannot be familiar with all the songs, he cannot know all his scandals, and he cannot tell the sales volume of each of his albums as usual. But I love him as much as he loves us. His catchphrase or classic quote - I love you all, appears many times in documentaries(?) and sounds very moving.

It's been a few months since his death, and the news about him has continued. About property, about the cause of death, about all kinds of rumors, all the fans who love him feel cold. Yesterday, I went to see a movie, and it is estimated that there should be many people, because the whole world is eager to commemorate this heavenly king, and to remember him is also to remember his own youthful years. Who knew that when he got there, there were no more than 10 people who came to see it. The huge movie theater felt depressed, and the movie was a rehearsal video, so naturally there was no audience. For him, a "concert" with such a small number of people was still the first. Second-rate. It is said that the box office in the United States was 5 million on the first day. Tickets for a movie theater in Beijing were sold out within 5 seconds. Countless stars attended the premiere (both showrunners and die-hard fans). Various websites are full of stories about This is it's report. . . However, by the lakeside of the Dushu, I could not feel it.

Or the movie itself.

In my opinion, the rehearsal looks better than the actual concert video, which is like watching a movie trailer, you can see some real moments. Although the king is still mysterious and dynamic, the whole movie is not only moved but also sad. Watching him on stage with all kinds of genius ideas and tireless rehearsals, it is completely impossible to think that he will suddenly leave you, and heart disease is nonsense.

The movie is arranged according to the songs to be sung at the concert, starting with Smooth Criminal, my blood began to boil uncontrollably.

Bad, Thriller, Man In The Mirror, Billie Jean, Beat it... The classics in the classics, the sound effect of the cinema is very good, you can also see some clips of how he designed it, with his powerful aura , anyone would probably lose himself. He is familiar with every song, and the requirements are very high, as high as every syllable, and every detail is carefully designed to achieve the best effect. He said: It's like that on the record, fans come to listen to hear the same thing, I can't help thinking that our so-called singers can't remember the lyrics, sing out of tune, and various situations often occur. underground.

My favorite is Billie Jean, his most magical performance, in his dreamy dance steps, time seems to stop, wonderful indescribable, all you can do is grow your mouth and marvel at the brilliance of his stage god.

The last Earth Song of the movie, the MV filmed is also very exciting. There is a little girl. In her sleep, the forest, animals, and the ocean are all destroyed, leaving people only the ruined and ruined earth. Finally, he said: Everyone should start making a difference immediately, before it's too late, don't think about what They will do, but think about Us, we will do it, and the world will change. Therefore, the king of heaven becomes the king of heaven and can be called great.

The film freezes at the end of his flying action, which is called a dream, a great curtain call.

At the end, the subtitles appear and the audience leaves. Waiting for the subtitles to be read, MJ's figure appeared, although it was very short, but still not without excitement.

People don't come back from the dead, all I can do is listen to those albums over and over. Bad, Thriller, Man In The Mirror, Billie Jean, Beat it, Heal The World, Black or White, Dangerous, I Just Can't Stop Loving You...
