Factual errors: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that the only people who will be saved after Armageddon are the 144,000 that will go to heaven. They believe that the rest of the people who God spares will live forever on a cleansed paradise Earth. Michael's family would not have referred to themselves and their loved ones as part of the 144,000. more

A good attempt, 13 August 2004
Author: (caspian1978@hotmail.com) from Attleboro, MA

Flex Alexander did a good job playing Michael Jackson. Although the elements were against him, being very tall and very black, he gave 100% to capture the movement and the voice of Jackson. For a VH1 production, this movie was as good as it gets. The message the movie tried to give its audience is that we are all human, keeping the publics opinion of Jackson that he is a human being. The final sequence of shots shows dramatic close ups of peoples faces. Each is different in there own way, like Jackson, he too is very unique......and very different. Although the movie lacked certain elements of story and answers to why Jackson did many of the strange things he did, the story tried to answer the question of his lifestyle. A good movie if you are a Michael Jackson fan. If not, its a typical VH1 movie that doesn't entertain most of its audience.
