I will have to agree with you Jacqueline. I loved the movie and those scenes you mentioned. I watched the movie last night. The concert would've been amazing. I love the new way he was doing Thriller. I love the way he was going to do Smooth Criminal. I also liked how they brought the bulldozer on stage for "earth song". I saw him during the "BAD" tour and remember him performing "beat it" on the crane over the audience, it was awesome. What got me the most was the closing credits and they dedicated the movie to the kids.

In the movie "This Is It", Kenneth Ortega show that he is a very caring person, as in one of the scenes, [Michael is up on a some type of lift and he tells Michael "HOLD ON MICHAEL"], and in another scene he tells the crew ["Be sure that there is a flashlight for Michael to see"] that's in another scene of the rehearsals, as all the lights have to go out, Mr. Ortega looks after Michael through out the rehearsals. It was nice to see that Michael was respected and loved so much in the movie, it really shows the genius of Michael and the love he has for people, his kindness just overflows, one feels as if you are right there in the rehearsals watching this superior genius artist at work. This is an academy award film, it's the kind of film you want to see over and over. "The King Of Pop" is THE BEST ONE CAN IMAGINE. NOTHING BUT PERFECTION. The whole cast was terrific.
