Michael: The Movie

[truce]

It goes without saying...

[Dages]

I like the music, but I'm not interested in the character and his issues (I'm very charitable here).
I'm quite sure the movie won't talk about the kids but will be all about praising MJ.

Never liked movies; will skip this as well. Almost posted in other thread that never have I ever dropped a mike.

I saw it yesterday. They showed a scene where he went to stay with her JW grandma for some time and she told him "Jehovah says, let your light shine" lol.

Lol.... Was it Jehovah or Jesus? Actually that was actress Nia Long and she played the role of Sister Kathryn Jackson.

They don't really care if it's Jehovah or Jesus. That's the funny part lol

I would have loved that scene

Personally, since he walked away from the Truth, I am not interested in watching a movie made by a worldly person about his life ...

 

I did watch the movie about Margaret Keane

There was one about Margaret Keane? Would that be Big Eyes?

I actually saw the movie yesterday and throughly enjoyed it. We grew up listening to Michael and the Jackson 5. We also listened to the Osmond's! I saw nothing wrong in watching the movie and I try to be very unbiased with entertainers and what they do in their leisure time, listening to Michael was no different than me listening to Elton John, and he’s openly gay, or Johnny Cash who’s songs centered around drinking, cheating and adultery.

My wife was in same district as the Jackson's when young and attended same conventions. His older sister and mother ( haven't heard of her dying yet not that means anything but oldest brother died this past week ) are still serving Jehovah.

[Qapla]

Just to be clear ... I did not say it is wrong to see this movie. I just said I had no desire to see it. I did not listen to Michael's music when he was popular - I didn't listen to Elton John, either. I didn't listen to Tom Petty, and I went to High School with him.

 

That just isn't my style of music.

I don't know if he worked with his mother in the ministry.  But, his brother-in-law, Nate Brown, was an elder in my congregation in the early '80's.  Nate did get Michael out in service.  There's a story that a young woman wearing a Michael Jackson tee-shirt answered the door but wasn't interested !     

 

Nate (Nathaniel) was married to the first-born daughter, Rebbie (Ree-Bee) and they were pioneers in Tennessee. He supported his family as a driving instructor. When Michael's career caught fire, they came back to So. California.

 

I remember one Circuit Assembly that Michael attended at the Woodland Hills Assembly Hall (20600 Ventura Blvd.)  He was easy to see in the red shirt !
