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.
