‘Michael’ biopic opens to mixed reviews, critics note omissions
Estate-backed biopic Michael debuted in theaters this weekend, starring Jaafar Jackson as Michael Jackson and drawing praise for Jackson's performance and dance impersonation. Critics say the film largely omits the long-running sexual-abuse allegations against Michael Jackson and excludes key figures such as Janet Jackson and Diana Ross, producing a noticeably sanitized portrait. Because the movie is estate-approved and emphasizes celebration over scrutiny, it reshapes public memory of Jackson and will frustrate viewers seeking a fuller, more critical biography.
They’re pedo-jacketing Michael Jackson simply because he was a prolific and unabashed pedophile
Mojave Midnights16I was working in Hollywood with some Very Important Music Industry People the day he died. They got phone calls about it before the news was public. I won't repeat what they said while they're alive, but I've never doubted a single allegation since that day, no matter how outlandish it might sound.
Russell in the Wops14The 3d chess stans make when Michael describes his felonies as a beautiful thing.
KinoGhoul13Listen he just had kids from all over at his house and slept in the same bed with them. You know normal stuff that people who support him think is fine except when it happens on epstein island. And half those people probably think he is still alive playing N64 with Prince and Tupac.
Professor Xtra4A man can’t even “ah-hee-hee!” in peace anymore smh
Ham Roids4He may have been a little abashed
Dan (Chariot Greeter)4I used to think PYT was such a jam, too
punished dl ✋🔺🤚4this post prompted me to go read MJs wikipedia entry and goddamn, he still has shooters out there keeping his article clean. the allegations are confined to a sub-section of the “death” section, with sprinklings of stuff in his career bio
Froggy4Hey now, that's not fair, he was at least a little abashed
The Michael Jackson thing has morphed oddly over the years from when he was alive, it was the parents' fault for leaving the kids with him and now fans seem to be denying that he did anything at all.
Cethan Leahy11I'm exactly the age to have missed the excitement of the music and mostly know him as this unsettling weirdo who haunted celebrity news.
Sharrow 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇮🇪🦄💙📚🎃9There has been a LOT of money spent to make this happen.
Lorraine3Someone (in their 30s) in my extended family recently told me that he was set up by Epstein because he was a successful Black singer and as I had no idea that there was a “documentary, etc” I just laughed and laughed, because I remember.
I wonder how many who want the orange wanker tried for being a paedo spend their hard earned cash watching the new Michael Jackson film. 🤔
ᗰIᑎᗪᒪEᔕ™️ 🪩3Interesting 🤔 I think MJ will always have a colossal fan base whatever. Die hard fans can be selectively deaf I guess. Didn’t even know there was a new film. Not for me thank you. Morning Morkdrew ☺️
Joanne2There have been loads of 'theories* of late that he built Neverland as a sort of sanctuary of sorts to counter 'Epstein island' and he was trying to save the kids...
Mrs MoonCakes.2I won’t be watching.. obvs. It had shite reviews.
