On Michael Jackson's latest documentary, Leaving Neverland (2019):
Saw this new movie yesterday. Very long, over three hours, divided into two parts.
I didn't care too much at first. Because of Michael Jackson's pedophilia problem for more than ten or twenty years. He was acquitted in two criminal proceedings. This time, the two boys who had come out to testify against him before grew up and came out to overthrow the previous story. It's hard to believe that the statement has changed. I always thought that Michael Jackson was really Peter Pan.
Watch this movie with suspicion. Looking at it, you will probably understand. It should be the actual situation.
Michael Jackson and these boys were more than innocent. is sexual. (stroking, kissing, masturbation, oral sex, and trying anal sex). The bond with these boys was long, from the age of seven to fourteen. The boys' confessions to Michael Jackson were basically the same as what the plaintiffs said back then.
The key core is - why did these two people revise their confessions? When he said that Michael Jackson did not violate him, why is he now accusing Michael Jackson? How can one believe them?
Therefore, the director conducted a comprehensive and detailed interview with the two people and their families. They wrote down their entire contact and contact experience with Michael Jackson for more than ten years. After reading it, I basically understand.
Michael Jackson approached them at a very young age, gaining the full trust of children and their families (especially parents). These families are white middle class. They also all hope that their children can develop careers with Michael Jackson's friendship and aura. In addition, they all believed that Michael Jackson was a big boy who lacked childhood but was innocent. There may be some misgivings about Michael Jackson's dealings with his own children, but it's basically reassuring. They both thought they understood Michael Jackson very well.
Michael Jackson has been in a relationship with these boys for a long time. It's gradually building up feelings. He was emotionally and energetically invested in these boys (and their families). They would play together and then stay overnight. At a certain point in time, after a certain amount of trust and accumulation, sex appears. michael jackson gradually introduced them to the concept and behavior of sex. The final practice is mostly masturbation and oral sex. And it was introduced when the boys were very young (seven years old). A criminal offence that constitutes pedophilia.
In addition, I now know that the macaulay culkin played Home Alone who is very close to michael jackson - he has come out many times to defend michael jackson's innocence. I now understand that he and michael jackson are not close to this relationship. He is a child star himself and won't rely on michael jackson. So he and michael jackson can not have a sexual relationship.
michael jackson will make these families fully accept him and rely on him. In addition, children are taught to keep these things a secret. "If we say it out, we will never meet again. We will all be finished, and we will all be imprisoned for the rest of our lives." Therefore, these children have been indoctrinated since childhood, and they will indeed keep secrets, and they will never disclose it to their parents. So the parents have no way of knowing.
The worship and spiritual support of these children to Michael Jackson is very deep and comprehensive. They also fell in love with michael jackson. I want to treat my father, brother, and God the same way.
The film spends a lot of time showing their complex emotional connection with michael jackson. And every boy is jealous because michael jackson is close to everyone else.
As an adult with a certain social and life accumulation, it is understandable to see the emotions involved.
Then, when michael jackson was charged, they came out to defend michael jackson to protect him. (And at this time, the children's parents didn't know that their children had experienced the same thing, they still believed in michael jackson).
Plus these kids don't know what these sexual things mean when they're young. I have no idea whether I have been violated, whether I have traumatise or not. You only know when you grow up. When, I will slowly know when I get married and have children.
The pattern of paedophiles involved in this is actually not unfamiliar. The closest and authoritative people (such as Catholic godfathers, teachers, etc.) use their authority and prestige to contact and violate young and ignorant children. Children are incapacitated and unable to judge.
These kids have deep feelings for michael jackson, and actually don't see any problems with these sex until puberty. It was only after I grew up, got married and had children, that I realized that I was living in the shadows, and because I had a huge sense of guilt for covering up Michael Jackson, I needed to come out and speak out.
The film is about michael jackson's child abuse, but it is also about the two victims' journey of self-reflection, self-salvation and redemption.
It may also be a new chapter under the influence of the Mi Rabbit movement.
As a fan of michael jackson watching this is hard to accept. There should be quite a few people who still can't accept it. "There is no evidence" "The words of these people are not credible". But in fact, people who have certain life experience and have some understanding of human sexual behavior and psychology can understand this.
I think my understanding of michael jackson has deepened a lot after reading it. This person is complete now. There were a lot of unsolved parts before, especially sexual orientation. Sexuality is a mystery. After reading this, I feel that the scattered puzzle is finally completed. Including his image, his marriage. The man finally understood. michael jackson is not a "normal person" in these matters. There are congenital factors, as well as early childhood developmental factors. I think he's a very fluid, complex guy. Not a simple paedophile. His relationship with these boys can be maintained until boy puberty (eg, 14 years old, already a very large boy), so he can be included in the category of ephebophilia. Plus he's supposed to be bisexual—it's mentioned in the film that he watches heterosexual porn, and is curious about how his boy friends are dating women. In addition, michael jackson has actually had some experience with women. But in general, he is more attracted to men, especially teenage men. More close to the characteristics of homosexuality.
He has no way of establishing mature sexual relationships with women. I can understand now: his children should and should all be adoption, IVF or surrogacy.
There is also a greater understanding of his neutral image.
The above analysis is from a psychological point of view and does not involve moral judgment. I understand that michael jackson simply doesn't understand what he means to underage kids. I guess he thought these were just harmless naughty things. In the ethics of modern human society, this kind of behavior (having sex with minors) is a huge immoral and criminal offense - he should know that these behaviors are not accepted by society. It's just that he doesn't think there's anything wrong with this from the bottom of his heart.
After watching this documentary, I feel that many things are finally understood now. Seems hard for a MJ fan to accept. And I think it may not be easy for people who lack social experience, life experience, and psychological knowledge to understand the complexity and diversity of human sexuality. There are many references to Michael Jackson's loneliness. I think this person is really pathetic and pathetic in these respects. Sexuality is basically physical and physiological. He was trapped in such a body. In addition, this person does look like a child, and will spend a lot of time interacting with children, playing games, telling stories, and treating them as friends. He is indeed a peter pan. This is completely different from the general pure pursuit of paedophile. In other words, his children are definitely not just sex, but spiritual as well. I think this characteristic of him makes him feel more pitiful.
Whether michael jackson fans like it or not, the film is sure to have a lasting impact. And will force people to re-examine michael jackson's personality and his cultural heritage.
