The moon walk, the jerry curl, and the glittery glove and tube socks. All are things fans of Michael Jackson fell in love, and are all in This Is It.
This Is It is the movie chronicling Jackson’s last performance rehearsal before his sudden death in June this past summer. This movie gives the public the chance to see the beloved pop star perform for the last time.
The choreography was similar to the music videos that made Jackson the King of Pop.
The movie theater experience was almost as exciting as the movie. People cried, laughed, danced, and sang along with Michael and the cast of the show.
The movie had a lot of interesting parts to it; some funny, some surprising and some kind of crazy
One of the funniest parts of the movie was the fact that Jackson had such a commanding voice even though he sounds like a five year old girl.
Real Jackson fans don’t have to worry about the movie being the vision of a big time producer. This movie was Jackson’s vision the whole way through from the first performance rehearsal to the last.
One of the most interesting parts of the movie was that Michael made every effort possible to keep the material true to how he wrote it.
“I want it how I wrote it,’’ Jackson said after one of the music composers tried to change one of the keys in Jackson’s big hit “Human Nature”.
By far, the coolest part of the movie was the 3D version of the Jackson classic “Thriller”. This iconic dance number was filmed in 3D, making it the most unique part of the movie. With that 3D presentation you got 3D glasses which made the already great experience even better.
Also, when Jackson did a certain dance move, it would actually be a cue for the band to play a certain note or stop playing music all together.
Although Jackson was fifty years old while rehearsing for this tour, he was able to do the same moves that he did when he was twenty, and they still looked amazing.
If you love great dancing, creative choreography, and of course the King of Pop, don’t miss This Is It.
Now for some random thoughts :
I can moon walk.
Michael Jackson is dead.
I’mma let you finish, but Michael Jackson’s ‘Smooth Criminal’ video was way better than Taylor Swift’s.
