@sumimrk: let’s talk about michael (2026), reshoots, jaafar jackson and the plague of 21st century biopics #michael #michaeljackson #jaafarjackson #cancelculture #whattowatch
its a really good movie to say at least but imo the pacing could have been better, it was rlly shallow for me like in a blink of an eye you're on a next scene. it's really sad that we never get to see the og version due to some legal constraints but hey at least we're getting a second part (hence the his storh continues) so im hoping it might dig deeper and maybe a potential director's cut in the nearby future! jaafar's acting debut is insane and i hope we get to see him more in future films!

No it was brilliant and has inspired a global celebration of Michael Jackson. The allegations started in 1993 and it ended in 1988 so yeah.

I really loved your take on this, also wowwww? I did not know the movie was planned to start with the neverland strip search scene, that would have definitely been something to see. The last scene as well that you mentioned, with his hands over his face during Bad, that leaves it up to the interpretation which I think was a pretty good choice.

The estate did not interfere. They wanted to include the allegations yet they were not allowed.

jafaar is talented but hear me out: this is not a biopic,but more likely an artistic film INSPIRED BY THE MUSIC OF MJ

It’s not really the film teams fault legal reasons got in the way and the production had to do a lot of reshoot and re-editing because of so many factors of outsiders sources. Just look at the Dianna Ross material being stopped just because her team decided last minute after it had already been filmed. Hence why I think it was smart they ended in the 80s to give them time to hopefully iron out legal things and possibly give us that opening strip search for the sequel.

Why would they include the allegations, there were none until 1993 and the movie ended in the late 80s??

even if they made the original script, the film was always going to be a puff piece from the estate. the intent was never to explore the allegations but push the narrative the estate wants the public to engage with

tbh i didnt go watch the movie expecting my life to be changed given that we already knew all the big parts of MJ’s life that were shown in the movie. i went to see jaafar’s performance and it was a damn good one. he did micheal justice.

exactly it was way too formulaic and I fear the best parts of the movie were in fact when jafar was performing

I mean cancel culture had been quite succesful but in all the wrong ways getting rid of people who did minor things

I love Michael Jackson and his music and impact to music as a whole is astonishing and is truly an inspiration to me and millions and Jaafar Jackson is amazing in this movie however I absolutely agree that movie should have had open up about his allegations because unfortunately that is a part of his life even if you believe it or not
