I never liked him, I thought he was her before, but. . . . . . . . . . . . .

I was born in 1987, the year when another world-famous MJ, Michael Jordan first won the Slam Dunk Contest. So, basically, Michael Jordan is the one that guided me towards what I am doing now --- Dunking.

Going back to the Michael Jackson topic. The oddest thing is that even though I had never heard any of his songs and performances, his name somehow got into my mind. In other words, I feel like I always know this person which mirrors that the whole world talks about him all the time.

I watched a couple of videos on YouTube trying to know him a little bit more as a person and as well as a musician before I was headed to the movie theater. It is obvious that he had this god-given talent in the world of music at such a young age.

During the movie, I saw some people just couldn't control their emotions. They smiled, cried, and cheered for him. Although I am not a die-hard MJ fan, I am shocked by his dedication to perfection for his music. He really cared about the details when they were doing the rehearsal. He wanted this one to be good.

Eventually, I am so glad that I had this opportunity to watch this movie on the first day it was released worldwide. Much respect to the king of pop, Michael Jackson. His fame put him under a great deal of pressure. The media's eyes never move away from him. He can finally rest in peace now. God bless you~

    The audience clapped every five minutes. The film began to roll until the subtitles rolled, and no one got up. Many students and office workers sat at McDonald’s and the theater hall until dawn because they couldn’t get a taxi after two o’clock. That’s it.

    A mediocre or even bad documentary, a film with crude technology. All four stars are attributed to MJ.
