About this movie

Michael Jackson is remembered as the King of Pop, and is a renowned incredibly talented singer and dancer. His style, music and dance moves are celebrated worldwide. He was a one of a kind performer and once in a lifetime entertainer, but few people really know the man he was behind the mask and and the man that the media portrayed him to be. From the age of 5 and up until his last days, the pressure that was put on him was enormous and it had serious repercussions on his physical and mental health. His success was overshadowed by child abuse allegations, and his addiction for prescription drugs and plastic surgery. The show reveals who was the real Michael Jackson, the deeply conflicted man, the man that never really grew up, the Man in the mirror.

Ratings and reviews

Disappointing, with no real depth, just banal commentary. Michael Jackson deserves better. His conflicts affected his life deeply, but are not explored in this shallow documentary. The viewpoint is compassionate but unenlightening. The information is predictable, and you could Google better comments on his life in journals and publications. The film clips of Michael are fuzzy and of very poor quality.

I Love Michael Jackson so much.
