    I remember stumbling on this "biopic" one day on TV. It was a few years around the anniversary of his death, and seeing this, it makes you appreciate The Jacksons: American Dream movie so much more because this was awful.

      Yeah. American Dream hurt my feelings,too, though. I don’t why it’s so hard to do a decent Michael Movie. Maybe we need Steven Spielberg. He would make an EPIC Michael movie. He is an amazing storyteller, he can humanize any character, and he will make sure you are a sobbing mess when those credits roll. I’m not a big fan of white people telling Black stories, but everyone has failed so far, IMHO. Michael Jackson People! Call up Steven and see if he can do a movie with GOOD WIGS, special effects makeup, full dance numbers, a PROPER Diana Ross, a Janet Jackson who is actually part of the story, and breathtaking concert montage scene at the end, closing with “Man In The Mirror” with the ending credits…then…bonus footage of “Captain Eo”, and BTS footage.
      Call…Steven… Spielberg!

      A lot of actors know they in some shit but have it written in contracts they aren't allowed to outright talk badly about the movies they are in and even once those expire it's generally viewed as possibly career ending to be slagging off movies you were in. Unless you are someone who's a bonafide movie star, it's best practice to keep your yap shut in Hollywood.

    A good MJ biopic would need:
    - An actor who could convincingly play normal and weird-looking Michael
    -That actor also being an excellent dancer/singer (if you didn't go the lip-sync route)
    -A script that wouldn't alienate either the "he's guilty" or "he's innocent" crowds
    -The blessing of the Jacksons and whoever to use Michael's music, without having to turn the movie into a hagiography
    It's basically impossible and not worth attempting.

    Diana Ross coming to Michael in a vision actually kinda reminds me of a brief scene in the Elvis movie where Mahalia Jackson more or less speaks to Elvis from beyond the grave. The difference is a.) it's sort of implied that Elvis is in a drug-induced stupor, and b.) it's a Baz Luhrmann film, so the film is over-the-top enough that you know not to take everything it says as absolute gospel.

    The late Wylie Draper who played Michael Jackson (late teens/adult years) in "The Jacksons:An American Dream" (1992) was the best.
    Jermaine Jackson's son, Jaafar in the upcoming biopic from Antoine Fuqua will definitely pull it off as his uncle Michael.
    Flex Anderson going from Homeboys in Outer Space to One on One (dressed up as MJ on a Halloween episode) were cool moments in his career.
    Playing MJ in this was all wrong.
    They were trying to tell the stories of his life.
    Somehow it didn't feel right and Flex admitting that it wasn't says a lot.

    I remember watching this when it aired, around the time of the second trial. I was 14, didn't know shit about movie production and was still ASTOUNDED by how bad this was. As a fan who tried to absorb everything MJ, I blocked most of this movie out of my memory- but this brought it all back. I'm so mad Korey didn't show the cheap Neverland gate in the middle of the woods lmao... Flex tried, and I like him as an actor, but wow. The vibe of his portrayal of Michael was "big dumbass kid" and every time something bad happened, he was like "?????!!!!!". But it was 2004-5, I remember how the media portrayed Michael; even when they were positive it was still hurting his reputation.
    At the end of the day this was just how y'all said: poor direction, no budget, etc. but also bad timing/luck because it essentially ended on a cliffhanger during one of the worst times of Michael's life. Here's to hoping the next few productions coming out do Michael some justice. Really looking forward to the one his nephew Jaafar is starring in.
    Also I'm so jealous Billy got to see Michael's 30th Anniversary Special live, I have so many questions!

    Shanice (Flex Alexander's wife) recently talked about _Man in the Mirror_ on Questlove Supreme podcast. She claimed that the movie Flex agreed to star in was very different than the movie which was filmed. For example, it was supposed to be "authorized" (produced with Michael's permission/blessing), and it would've had a bigger budget.
    Apparently this movie was in heavy rotation on The Roots tour bus. 📼😸
    I haven't seen it in years. It seemed like the first attempt to depict a less flattering side of Michael, with his flaws and missteps. Maybe that's why MJ's authorization was revoked (besides Michael having bigger concerns in 2004). 🤔
