This Is It (Film)

I went to see Michael Jackson's This Is It today at my local movie theatre. The film shows Michael Jackson rehearsing many songs. My favorites were "Earth Song", "Smooth Criminal", and "Thriller". The set designs for these songs are great. "Thriller" was scary just like the music video. "Smooth Criminal" has a very cool set. The "Earth Song" has nice scenery of trees, plants, nature, and is very colorful. Michael can still move on stage. His singing is also top notch. He feels every word in his songs and every beat. His band and dancers are also amazing. Seeing the behind the scenes of the planning of a concert tour, shows you just how much of a genius Michael Jackson was, and how much he loved music. You will leave feeling you have just seen one of the greatest entertainers ever.
