[semicko82]

Its people being nitpicky about dates and shyt
To me it along with Malcolm X its the gold standard of biopics

What

That Jackson 5 mini series was cool, but it was a basic made for tv movie

Malcolm X was a cinematic achievement. The acting, directing, and writing was another level

A basic made for TV movie ain’t as long as that breh

MJ’s biopic is gonna be up there with The Godfather and Goodfellas…


It better not be like The Jacksons movie that used to come on VH1.

It would be funny for them to add the rivalry between Prince and MJ

Don't you EVER hate on the VH1 Jacksons movie

 

[onlylno]

No proof

I wasn’t even talking about that lol

Even without the allegations, Old Michael was objectively weird.

 

[Mac Ten]

The Jacksons: An American Dream is the GOAT Jackson/MJ movie/series

That’s the standard

It wasn’t that one….

I’m talking about the one with this guy

 

[Mac Ten]

Don't you EVER hate on the VH1 Jacksons movie

Not that one….


I’m talking the one with Flex Alexander which I posted below

We don’t acknowledge that one

That was a disgraceful parody

Your comparing too different mediums which is an argument in bad taste

For a tv miniseries, The Jacksons: An American Dream is one of the greatest of all time, and thats no bullshyt. Excellent performances from the entire cast. The film that put Terrence Howard, Jason Weaver, and Monica Calhoun on the map. Anchored by phenomenal performances from Angela Bassett and Lawrence Hilton Jacobs. It was well written, well directed, and the musical performances still hold up (particularly by Weaver and Draper)

Malcolm X is a feature film bankrolled by a major studio and even when they pulled funding, Spike was able to secure the assistance of the likes of Oprah, Magic Johnson, Janet Jackson, and Denzel himself to get funding to continue making the film. Its a work by an auteur at the height of his creative powers executing a vision centered around the performance of one of the greatest actors whose ever lived (himself in his prime)

The Jacksons at the time, worked better as a miniseries than a film. I myself suggested that Michael’s story would serve better as an epic HBO 4 part series than a 2 hour film. But a film is what we’re getting and it would be only right if someone as magnetic, complex, and controversial as Michael Jackson get either a 4 hour, Titanic style epic or a two part film so that nothing feels rushed or short changed.

One thing i’m worried about is the reports that the reshoots are to address the fact that the estate doesn’t want the 1993 allegations to be part of the film. Something like that could derail the “authenticity” of the film because, for better or worse, its a major part of Jackson’s public and personal downfall. EVERYBODY knows it, and to not address it would feel phony.

How can it NOT be like that? Did someone go back in time and change history of events that happened?

They gonna have a black part and white part

I heard a guy trying to sing Michael Jackson lyrics today. The part where he does some ad lib lyrics

he kept singing "Shumona... Shumona... Shumona

I thought to myself, "that's not the sound I heard"
