Michael Jackson is the purest talent I have ever seen, he cannot make any false moments
In the Pantheon with James Brown, Judy Garland, Jackie Wilson, and some other electronic live performers, Jackson’s stage roles and acting abilities are similar to the Big Bang, and his expansion is endless. People personally responded to him, and because he started too young, a generation grew up with him, identified with him, and watched his transformation with awe. Basketball superstar Kobe Bryant once said in an interview in a documentary: ‘When people talk about Michael, it’s easy to get off track. They talk about his skin color, they don’t pay attention to the story behind him, and his growth path;’; They only focused on Michael’s tabloid fanaticism in his life and his early death, while director Spike Lee’s documentary was a timely correction, an almost radical corrective and celebratory behavior, without any ‘deviation from track’
Michael Jackson’s rise as a solo star in Motown ultimately reached its climax in Off The Wall, where director Lee presented it in a way that conveyed information to the new generation. Li wants to express: ‘Come and see what he has done?’? How much space has he created for others? Please always respect this with utmost respect
Genius is one thing, but Michael Jackson is not just a genius who knows how to sing and dance. Even as a child, he treated his work and the Motown giants around him with curiosity and an insatiable desire to learn from them. Michael himself once said that the key to success is always’ listening ‘
The most satisfying part of the documentary is the in-depth discussion of ‘Off The Wall’, where contemporary musicians compete to discuss the impact of this particular sound on their subsequent works, only to discover how rich and informative it is. This discussion has finally made us realize how much we have lost when we lose him
Director Spike Lee’s documentary is a true act of love
