Is This It FilmSummary

By Amy Parish

The modern day Michael Jackson was very different from the classic Michael Jackson that became the King of Pop, and one of the greatest entertainers in the history of the world.

Jackson shut himself out from the rest of the world. His child molestation case and the rest of the trouble that the media and the rest of the world gave him obviously took their toll on Jackson, and his music suffered as a result.

Jackson's glory days occurred more than 20 years ago and while he's never been the same ever since, he produced some decent music earlier this decade. It was rumored that another album was in the works, but expectations were nowhere nearly as high as they would have been at his peak.

The world was secretly hoping for a return to his old form, but the thought of that was clearly a mirage. Jackson was never the same, and his untimely death marked the official end of an era in music, though it probably took place years before. Jackson's Is This It proves that theory wrong to some extent.

I was expecting a sappy movie that played into his issues, with a lot of it covered up by the movie makers and everything else. I was wrong though, and many who've seen the movie will probably tell you the very same thing.

Michael Jackson was a class act, and he was in this movie as well. We got a glimpse of the King of Pop during his final days, and we should all consider this a gift as fans of Michael Jackson.

Jackson's voice sounded like his usual voice, and his dance moves were still some of the best in the game. We saw a playful side of Jackson too, which really brought out the fact that he was in fact an ordinary human being, despite his eccentricities.

If you've enjoyed Michael Jackson's music through your life, by all means see this movie. There's no better way to say goodbye to a once in a lifetime legend. - 30542
