Review of This Is It (2009) by Barbarag — 01 Nov 2009
This film is redemptive not only for Michael Jackson but also for his fans and hopefully his critics. We see the genius of the artist but we are also glimpse a mature person in control of his body and his team.
The deference given to Jackson by his director and the entire group puts the audience on notice that this guys delivers, and that there is not a single person involved in his productions now or in the past that wasn't in awe of this mans talent.
The show is fabulous and more than once my husband or I breathed a "unbelieveable" sigh. I am so glad that I got to see Michael the 50 year old man working, directing, creating, and leading not just performing.
This is s side of Jackson we haven't seen in the media, a focused, mature, and balanced adult. Additionally, the way he is able to push his body (frail or not) to limits should silence those critics who said he could not deliver.
I cannot imagine now being 50 something myself having kept that pace, I ache after a hike! Bravo Mr. Jackson, God gave you a gift, a gift that you shared with the world -- Be at peace.
