The corporate vanilla ‘Michael’ biopic is terrible!
by Minister of Information JR Valrey
A disappointment. Save your money and watch it for free in a couple of weeks. The story was poorly written. At no time did it pull me in.
The story line was the same script we always saw: MJ leaving the Jacksons, getting burned on the set, and him funking with Joseph. The movie makes Joseph the bad guy, when Black people know without Joe, the Jacksons would have been blue collar steel mill workers. Joe was a necessary evil, abusive, opportunistic and all.
We know that US media has problems with the existence of Black fathers leading their families to greatness – look at how they talk about Beyonce’s pops, Venus and Serena’s pops, and Lavar Ball – so this was no disguise.
The US wants Black talent without anyone around protecting it. Obviously the film left out MJ’s beef with Tommy Mottola, him owning a huge catalog of white and Black music, the Epstein smearing of MJ’s name as a pdf file, the CIA following him in Moscow, him working with Biggie and other rappers. In fact, the characters playing the Jackson brothers don’t even have speaking parts.
The white record execs are so “helpful” to Mike in the movie, we do not get to see that Mike was a shrewd businessman. The movie has no soul or Blackness in it, when at one time MJ was the epitome of Black music and dance.
The characters are very one dimensional. The script was very vanilla. It seemed like a white man from Hollywood was trying to write about the lives of Black people who rose from the ghetto without a lick of understanding of Black life and love in the eras depicted. F+
