Michael Jackson's This Is It

It was a documentary and I assume it was aimed to shoot for the private use, say, check the moves from the third person's view. At the beginning, I can see the explanation which mentions the film was for Michael Jackson's library.

Through the movie, I can see MJ's professionalism. He seemed very sensitive when it comes to music, rhythm, dances, vocals and the like. It was interesting to see his way to give his requests to staffs. He said "I am not blaming you, and this is the love" (I am not sure the exact words because I was relying on translation into my native language) . When he wanted the high sound of guitar, he talked to a guitarist with saying "this is the best part for you, and this is the moment you can shine at the stage".

The show at London has become an illusion... never be shown in public. How sad he has already gone and we cannot enjoy his live show anymore. His message is the importance to look at oneself before complaining somebody.

Seeing his performance of "Wanna be starting something" makes me weep. The beautiful song "This is it" brings me the fact that this is the last song and he has not lived here. Each dancer and backing vocalist carried his or her life to his stage, so the live show was expected to be the collection of people's dream and professionalism. MJ said the show should be a journey from the daily life. I can understand that he put himself into creating the stage.

Miss the talented genius.
