I Hear Michael Jackson Everywhere

Yes, that's thanks to the film "Michael." The film turned out to be a spectacular but conflict-free story.

For two hours, viewers watch a kind of son of a mother's friend, the most handsome, talented, and honest. The film had immense potential. The issues of loneliness, loss of childhood, creative disagreements, and the question of being chosen—all of this is mentioned in passing, essentially adding no value to the plot. Michael doesn't even go through puberty!

It turned out toothless. There are so many theories surrounding Michael Jackson, some more deserving of a tinfoil hat, others resembling the truth. But Antoine Fuqua, the director, decided to whitewash the main character so much that he forgot to introduce even a minimal conflict.

Biopic shouldn't become documentary works; there are plenty of those about the singer's life. The film resonates especially loudly for those who are aware of the context of his life.

The story ends in the late eighties, leaving the last thirty years for a sequel. Will it reflect the contradictory nature of Michael? We'll find out in a few years.
