Mr Kenny Ortega can't be thanked enough for such a wonderful tribute to the King Of Pop. For recreating the magic in millions of hearts across the globe. For showing us the good part of Michael Jackson's death after all the rotten rumours and controversies – This Is It!
Michael Jackson was coming back on stage LIVE after 12 years. There was anticipation. There was hope. There was madness. There were millions of fans who fought for that one entry to London's O2 arena. This was Jackson's 'final curtain call'. This was his chance to prove himself, yet again! This was any fan's dream come true. This was what memories are made of. This was historic. But then the King himself died.
What followed was anything but music. There were accusations. There was a lot of fight over money. Not even his kids were spared. Was he gay? Was he impotent? Was he in debt? Everybody wanted to know what killed Jacko. Nobody bothered about the one thing that kept him alive – Music!
Thank god for Kenny and the team who were to perform for this historic concert. They remembered!
And now, months after MJ's death, they have brought the King back to life. And this time, to live forever. We can never thank them enough!
It was not just us who were waiting for this concert to happen. Kenny and his team show us how much it mattered, what it meant, what it could have been for Michael Jackson himself. Through This Is It, a compilation of Jacko's rehearsals for the big event, Kenny says it all.
Jacko shouldn't have died. Sure. But since he had to take his leave, there couldn't have been a better time than this. It was the year of his final concert. It was time for him to retire from music. And what is Michael Jackson without the music? Just a bag of rude accusations, controversies, dirty divorce battles… It was music that made MJ beautiful. This Is It tells us just that.
It not only shows us what we could have seen at the O2 arena. It tells us a story. The story of Michael Jackson and his men. The story of his fight for revival. The story of a man who had no clue these were his few last moments. And it makes you want to yell.
It brings to life some of the biggest Jackson hits in a bigger and better way. It tells you how much Jackson wanted this concert to work. This shows you how much he loved music. This tells you what Michael Jackson really was. And if you aren't a MJ lover already, this makes you fall in love with the man forever!
MJ cannot die! Many fans wish it. The film proves it.
This Is It is so energetic it defies death. He danced for God's sake! Jacko made it to every rehearsal, put his life in every step, every pelvic thrust. The feature shows us how MJ, however ill, pushed himself harder everyday to make his final curtain call bigger than ever.
Thank you, Kenny for making his wish come true. Thank you for making his death beautiful. For telling the world there's not just a bunch of controversies that make Jackson. For showing us what really defined Michael Jackson. If there had to be a fitting tribute to the King Of Pop, This Is (definitely) It!
