A gathering of thoughts, ideas, creativity and commentary

So the critics are slamming this movie as a homogenized version of the King of Pop’s story. Well, maybe the fans are just lactose intolerant. Who wanted to see a movie about that ‘milk’ anyway? Sure, there was SO much omitted or better put… SO much still to be told. It just wasn’t happening in 2 hours. Why not make it a celebration? There was a lot to celebrate. To tell the whole story, you would need about a 12 episode made for TV mini-series. And that still might not be enough to satisfy a lot of people.

I enjoyed this condensed semi-biopic. It was packed full of music and life. Jaafar, Colman, and Nia delivered awesome portrayals of Michael, Joseph and Katherine. It takes you back and has you tapping your toes in your seat. It’s the Good and the Bad… just not the Ugly. And for an entertaining trip to the movies, I’m ok with that.
