Man, I just got back from watching it..
I bought a "This is It" shirt and the album right from the theater and put the shirt on to match my sequined glove without even thinking it. I got some "awww" s' from some people in the audience when I walked in to find my seat. My friends wore their gloves too. One girl went all out and had the whole nine MJ outfit.
The film itself was unforgettable yet, you have to see it more than once just to grasp MJ again in his final days. He was truly awesome.
And a perfectionist. And you can play a counting game with how many times he uses the word "love" in the film. He was all love.
Really nice, direct and pro.
The dancers were amazing too and it was heartfelt to hear their story regarding dancing with MJ.
Every time they showed what they were going to bring for a specified song, it KILLED me.
I kept saying "daaamn... that WOULD have been INCREDIBLE."
The ideas that were put into this was never seen before in any concert ever.
And it just made me feel sooo sad about it.
You also get this up close feeling with MJ. Like you're right there with him. And that is also when it hits you. This man is no longer here with us... damn it. But then again... after seeing this film, I told my best friend "you know what? He was too good to be stuck in this planet... He's one of those you feel belongs on another planet far better than ours.". He was really a special and REAL human being. And we are all lucky to have existed in the same world as he.
Well... the entire documentary was bitter sweet. While we clapped many times and cheered, we also fell in silence. The only thing I really didnt like about this film.... was that it felt too short. I didn't want to leave the theater. In fact, I didn't. I stood there until the the light turned on and nothing was on the screen.
I hope the DVD has even more footage whenever it becomes available.
Man....
Why did he have to go so soon....:no:
goodnight everyone. And lots of love to all.
