For people who didn't see it this is my brief opinion on it...
Although not the most accurate of documentaries (although theres a lot of misconceptions out there regarding MJ so no suprise), this is no where near the worst documentary around. I didn't learn much from it, but it was nice to see something regarding MJ on telly again.
They briefly touched on the baby dangling, his ego, the accusations and the surgery, BUT only in context of the subject of his finances, explaining the possible reasons for his decrease in earning power due to the media portrayal of Michael as a weirdo. However they did not dwell on these things, and had to include them to make it more accurate. Unfortunately those things are in MJs past, and to not mention them would be dishonest. IMO they did a relatively good job in mentioning those negatives without giving the whole thing a negative feel.
When the program first started, there were a few yell at the tv moments due to the narrators misleding comments. This was mainly due to my instinct to be automatically on the defensive, and some comments by the narrator which were purely for drama and impact, but not completely factual. For example they stated that they were going to exclusively show us the things Michael didn't want us to see and to be on display, when we all know you can view all the items online in the auction catalogues, that Michael agreed for them to be on display before they are returned to him, and that anyone with the means can go view the items for themselves. However, at times I found the narrator, with his tongue constantly placed in his cheek, quite amusing.
The documentary included an interesting interviews with the man who created those beautiful portraits of Michael, and a not so interesting interviews with bitter former employees and a man who Michael once sued. There were not many hard facts included in this program it was just an hour of analysis and speculation from an outsiders perspective. On a positive side, they also mentioned Michael charity work, to let people know that he didn't just spend his money on lavish items for himself, showing him to be very giving. There was also no reference to W**** J**** and they made a point of mentioning the Not Guilty verdict!
A brief summary of the topic of the documentary would be: Michael sold millions, earned millions, spent millions. His earning power decreased due to the media portrayal and negative happenings in his personal and professional life. However, Michael continued to spend as if he was still selling 60 million records per release. Michael has now sold out 50 dates @ the o2, and this could see a turn around in his finances. The end. |
