17:45, the movie starts on time. At the beginning, it was a very long letter, introducing the background of "This is it" and the death of MJ. During these dozens of seconds, the audience was silent and there was no noise. In the introduction, we learned that this is a tidbit of MJ's rehearsal in the UK from March to June 2009, and edited together.
It started with the various interviews of his dancers when they learned that they were going to dance with MJ. Many people burst into tears, and it was easy to hear: "He inspired me since I was a child, I can't believe I will dance with Michael!". One of them said: "Life has been hard, but Michael gave me the strength to make my life hopeful again."
Just as in Ken Roach's "Finding Cantona," the lead actor Eric's Life is abysmal, there are troubles everywhere, it was the idol Manchester United king Cantona who understood Eric when he was most helpless, helped him with words, and gave him the strength to continue to live. How many people has MJ inspired in his life? His music, his dancing, and his legendary life inspire young people every moment. This kind of incentive is a kind of accumulation, which is accumulated in the process of more than ten years or even decades. Many people fell in love with Michael when he was 7 or 8 years old, although some countries banned him before his death. Magazines printed his cover.
Many of us need to have a spiritual idol, so that when we lose our way, when we are lost, we are not alone. Eric said to Cantona: "Is it the goal against Sunderland? That goal is so perfect that it can make people forget all troubles for a while!" For the hard life, even if we know we have to face it, But it does not need to be too realistic, what is needed is a noble ideal. Money and intrigue are very realistic, you can get everything you want with beauty, and you can do whatever you want with the power in your hand, but how much fun can you bring to the whole life? Is your life happy even once? Don't you envy those who are penniless but still very happy? I thought that on TV, in newspapers, in magazines, on the radio, I could hear and see my own spiritual idol—not necessarily a person, why a team, a band—than Always be happy, when you are the happiest. Even if all the troubles of life surround you, that brief joy is priceless.
Watching the rehearsal of the London concert interspersed with the video when MJ was still at Jackson5, there is an indescribable sadness. I began to really miss Michael. Those precious images seemed to be taken only yesterday, like walking out of the theater, looking at the boundless night, thinking that Michael is still alive by my side. Is so reluctant to leave the cinema, but also reluctant to leave MJ.
Everyone's heart was beating watching Michael's crazy dancing and rhythmic music. The simple movement, hands, shoes, and shoulders made everyone go crazy. The hand swaying from side to side in Billie jean, and the ever-classic footsteps. Orange trousers, red top, golden jacket, white gloves, only he can make this kind of dress a trend in the world,
just like people who don't cherish and don't know true love don't deserve to watch "Titanic", People who don't like Michael, those who are conservative, are not qualified to watch "This is it" at all, let alone comment. Are these low-level creatures worthy of making irresponsible remarks here? At the moment of entering the theater, people who believe in true love and believe that life can be colorful and colorful by their own hands come together.
The director's cut was done so well that the film showed a complete Michael, like the pseudo-documentary-style shooting that's been popular recently, not just a bunch of videos stacked together. As if using modern methods, disrupting the chronological order, or shooting from multiple angles, a real MJ appears on the screen. After reading it, you may think so, why not let Michael win the Oscar for Best Actor? The best represents the best. Instead of letting some so-called acting schools become the best actor in a high-sounding manner, and talk about some technical nonsense, it is better to let the people who really deserve the award satisfy the audience's choice.
Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize with one mouth, why can't MJ win it? Isn't the background video of "Earth song" in the film touching, isn't it provocative, isn't it real, isn't it true that after listening to MJ's dialogue, don't you think he really loves the planet? There are no rhetoric and slogans that raise one's arms, no aggressive posture, but a whisper that calms everyone down, the pursuit of love, that is true love and fraternity. His painful childhood has replaced his adult love for humans, animals, plants, and the entire planet. What reason do we have for not supporting his great idea? The movie allows the world to see the real Michael Jackson, the one full of love, music and dance that is unmatched in contemporary times. Who will remember those unfortunate past events? Who will believe in those unfortunate past events?
When the movie was playing, I thought about what the ending would be like, but I didn't expect it to be such a scene, and it was deeply imprinted in my mind. When all the ending songs are over, there is a short paragraph, and finally the little girl in "Earth song" is holding the glowing earth, and the film officially ends. At this moment, applause broke out again in Hall 2, and several girls shouted Michael, I love you! This is the end of the last connection between the King and us.
It was the first time to watch a movie with such a talented group of people. During the climax, there was continuous applause (I have never seen such a thing happen before), and during the ending song, everyone applauded first, and then everyone continued to wait. This is the real fans and movie fans, and this is also a movie that is really dedicated to fans and movie fans. We dedicate our love to each other. I am very happy to see these like-minded fans and movie fans in Beijing.
In the end, I had to leave the theater, and life had to go on. Well, that's it.
