MJ was a legend. Only his movies can bring in such a huge response that its producer, Sony, is looking for ‘This is also it’ – a sequel of the current movie.

Those who have relationships with millions are often alone. And what is left afterwards are their stories – written in books, made into movies…… I personally think ‘This is it’ is an irony of what we see and what we precieve. Sad end though.

This film could have easily come across as a love letter to a fallen legend. It would have also been taken as a slap in the face to an already tarnished legacy left behind by a dimming star. This Is It is neither. This is a film that cuts deep, and leaves a memorable scar of hope. Jackson may have been an odd seed, but at least he wasn’t a sheep (black, OR white). He had heart, faith, and an understanding of what brilliance sounded (and looked) like. What we see here are both moments of defying confidence, and others of coyly depicted shy self-doubt.

Just saw “This Is It” last night. The last segment really shows how important the Earth was to him, and that was going to be a huge message of the tour. He even says in the dancer’s circle “we’ve only got 4 years to fix it or it’s irreversible”. I was actually truly impressed with the priority of the heal the world message, and my respect for MJ was renewed.

The Earth needs all the champions it can get, and with all the things going on in his life, that was what he was concerned about. Truly inspiring!

Michael was not always involved in financial matters, he had people hired to take care of these and obviously, they weren’t exactly perfect.
It was more up to him to write a song and influence the whole world with this, and he made it in a wonderful way.
I understand Jane when she tells the story in one of her books, about Michael. She’s also one of the few people who supported him when everybody else cared about anything else but him.

Heal the World, together with Earth Song, We Are the World and Man in the Mirror (although this one is written by somebody else) are the most beautiful masterpieces to touch millions and trigger a change for our environment and communities.

I’m not that surprised that Jane Goodall didn’t receive a donation. When Jackson left his chimp at a sanctuary, he did not provide them any money to care for him. So far, the have had to depend on donations from the public: http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20287787_20288466,00.html
