This is it
He came, he saw and he conquered millions of hearts; that is Michael Jackson for you. Jackson stunned the world with dancing hysterics and drove millions of fans into an unstoppable frenzy. Nobody imagined that he would depart so soon and the music world has just lost its finest gem.
But the legacy that Jackson has left will live forever. This is it was to be the final musical tour of Jackson and he had stated that this will be the final curtain call but sadly the curtain fell much earlier than anyone had ever expected. The last few precious moments of Jackson has been filmed in to this documentary and all seems so perfect; hardly one will believe that Jackson is no more.
The documentary definitely does not show anything about Jackson’s weakness for drugs but only revolves around a guy who was so passionate about the art and his skill to bring out the best every time he moonwalked on the stage.
Jackson’s fans till date swear by his incredible dance moves that fainted his audience. This is it was making a lot of news since Jackson death on June 25th 2009. And finally has made it to the theatres and the response to this documentary has been quite remarkable.
The film was premiered across 18 countries and it is a compilation of Jackson’s 100 hours of rehearsals for the final tour that was to be held in London. But alas! The man himself bid adieu to the mortal world just before this hyped tour and had this tour been staged, it would certainly be Jackson’s greatest musical extravagance. And the director Kenny Ortega described the film to be ‘a story of a master of his craft’.
Yes, Michael Jackson will undoubtedly remain the King of Pop forever and no one can acquire that title.
The rehearsals show Michael Jackson to be in complete command with his skill and every dance move he makes is superbly synchronized with the rest of the dancers on the stage. And during the entire process no one will ever feel that Jackson was a chronic drug dependant.
Michael Jackson's This Is It
His polite behaviour with the cast and crew speaks volumes of the icon, which testifies the fact that he was indeed a beautiful person. It is so difficult to accept the fact that he died of drug overdose and if you have to go by that theory the first question that comes to one’s mind is where did he get all the mental and physical strength to immaculately rehearse for hours? Not for a single moment you feel that Jacko was a drug addict, his performances say an altogether different story, story about this guy who knew nothing other than loving his art.
From the documentary and special effect that were to be used on the stage shows indicate that if it all the show had kicked off that would have been the best of shows ever. But fate had different plans and Jackson died an untimely death and fans all over the world are still mourning the maestro’s sad demise.
This is it is a tribute to the King of Pop and Michael Jackson’s fans will watch the last moments of their beloved artist.
