My View Of The Video This Is It: Why It Will Thrive

The soon to be released, “This Is It” has Michael Jackson fans pumped and excited to revisit his last weeks before his untimely passing, just four months ago.

Some of you may be thinking that this documentary is being released too soon after his funeral because of the ongoing investigation and controversy surrounding his death. But perhaps we can consider it to be a part of the healing process.

The “This Is It” film is more a behind the scenes documentary showing the rehearsals of his 50-show run at London’s O2 arena and was to be the King of Pop’s final tour. Because he was in the middle of these rehearsals led many to believe he was too frail or sick, or even under the influence of drugs to be able to complete this tour.

It’s actually a behind the scenes documentary showing the weeks before what was suppose to have been Michael’s final tour with a 50-show run at London’s O2 arena. Some say they would be reluctant to watch it; afraid to see a weak and frail Michael or maybe even under the influence of drugs. I’m here to tell you that is not the case.

Director and Choreographer Kenny Ortega had a huge task before him with over 100 hours of rehearsal footage to choose from. The documentary completed is almost two hours of Michael’s rehearsals including his biggest hits like “Billie Jean”, “Wanna Be Startin Something”, “Smooth Criminal” and “Black and White”.

Michael’s a perfectionist and you’ll see that as he guides his team with a firm but loving hand. His rehearsals are upbeat but relentless, and as he says, “That’s why we have rehearsals”. But at the same time he always gives love out as he always ends his sessions with “God Bless” or “It’s all for love”.

You can see that he always wanted everyone to laugh and have fun. It was very interesting to watch Michael because he was such a perfectionist and it showed.

While watching this footage I saw that Michael did not look weak or frail but actually strong and happy. Some suggested that the tour would have been too much for him to handle. To me he looked strong and happy. He looked like he was right where he needed to be. He wanted to give this tour to his fans.

Whether you are a Michael Jackson fan or not, I can guarantee you that “This Is It” will make you think twice about him. The guy had a tremendously big heart for people and his music. You get that. And you feel it. And you won’t help but dance in your seat when you watch it. It’s very obvious after watching the King of Pop, that he was truly happy and healthy in the weeks before his untimely death. Although he will be missed dearly, we can now go back again and again through the “This Is It” film footage to revisit our dear friend who will forever live on in our hearts, as we were in his.
