What I Saw Was What You Got

A lot can be said about this movie; you can talk about the music, the man, the 50 concerts, his family, his kids, his behaviour, his everything and ultimately his death. But I'll leave you here with my opinion of the movie. I liked it a lot and it touched me at several moments. This was a family visit, as the three of us saw this movie together and my son became sad while seeing it. He'd never heard of Michael Jackson until his death, but when MJ died and he saw his parents reaction to it, he became a fan. He's been requesting his songs and videos daily after it and I've been trying to get him to know some other artists too. For him (and all other viewers), it was a great way to see Michael "alive" doing what he did best outside of a video-clip.
Sure, you can argue with the fact that MJ at times forgot his lines and maybe slipped here and there out of the strict rehearsal he was submitted to. But the fact remains that he was a professional entertainer and he did an excellent job in it. To be able to see what they were planning to do for the 50 shows in London, is fabulous. Especially for the fans. This is it, this was it; a nice ending to the MJ-era!

My rating: 8 out of 10
