This Is It Motion Picture By Michael Jackson Headed For A Super Hit
The soon to be released, “This Is It” has Michael Jackson fans pumped and excited to revisit his last weeks before his untimely passing, just four months ago.
Because of the ongoing investigation and controversy surrounding his death, many of us will have the same thoughts about going to see it and will probably ask the question, “Is this too soon after his funeral?”
The “This Is It” film is more a behind the scenes documentary showing the rehearsals of his 50-show run at London’s O2 arena and was to be the King of Pop’s final tour. Because he was in the middle of these rehearsals led many to believe he was too frail or sick, or even under the influence of drugs to be able to complete this tour.
But watching the film you can see he was not. To complete this documentary was a huge undertaking for Director and Choreographer Kenny Ortega. Kenny had over 100 hours of rehearsal footage to choose from to give the audience a glimpse of what Michael goes through for the biggest and best concert tour ever. It was condensed into an almost two hour footage including some of Michael’s biggest hits like “Billie Jean”.
Director and Choreographer Kenny Ortega had a huge task before him with over 100 hours of rehearsal footage to choose from. The documentary completed is almost two hours of Michael’s rehearsals including his biggest hits like “Billie Jean”, “Wanna Be Startin Something”, “Smooth Criminal” and “Black and White”.
He was upbeat, joking and laughing and showed such compassion and kindness toward his team members even though he guided them with a firm hand. He strived for perfection from himself to each member of the dance team, including the musicians, and special effects team alike. And after each practice he always gave a “God Bless” or “It’s all for love” to everybody.
This guy had a tremendously big heart, something I did not connect with until I saw the documentary. Whether you are a fan or not, you will be taken by his honesty, his compassion and his kindness for those around him. And I guarantee you that you will dance in your seat when you view this.
From the musicians to the dancers, to the special effects, Michael guided his team with a firm hand, but yet showed much compassion, love and kindness toward everyone around him. He was always quick to give a “God Bless” or “It’s all for love” at the end of every practice.
He loved to love us. I think this film helped me cope with his passing. A way to keep Michael in our hearts, as we are in his.
