Documentary footage of Michael Jackson's rehearsal for what would have been his last tour called "This Is it."
This was a very impressive documentary. It didn't depend on interviews with "experts," or with MJ's family or anything, it was just the man himself and those around him. The film has everything - intimate moments with MJ working with light designers, dancers, guitarists, (which included the very young, very talented Orianthi) singers, and more, full dress rehearsals, stripped down performances, backdrop films...everything.
It was incredible to see Michael only days before his death; he was like a boy on stage, flexible, energetic, happy...it was very bittersweet. He knew all his songs perfectly and was still so passionate about them. A highlight was definitely "Human Nature," MJ's vocals were crystalline and it's just a beautiful song.
I was never a huge MJ fan, but after this, I can understand why so many people, young and old, simply adore him.
