Emilie The interview made Michael Jackson look sick and demented. The stupidity finally leaked out as he parades around his neverland ranch, named for the land that peter pan roams and flys in and out of wherever he pleases. the sad part is that michael actually believes this can happen to him, regardless of all his money and fame. the fact that sticks out, but not as far as michael's nose, that the superstar has gone too far and needs to be stopped. no decent man goes around and plays with little boys, it's sick and disgusting. the music has been going downhill, and now with the situation against him nowadays and again these accusations are poking out, doesnt it make any sense to society that michael is a pedophile? martin bashir helps the public that do take an interest in his unusual behaviors understand michael's situation. if an average joe was playing with children and frolicking around with young boys, he would be locked up, without the royal treatment. i feel that michael derserved the same and the tv interview shows that michael is truly sick and needs attention from the correct authorities. the rating of the interview is ok, but the stuff in the interview really stinks, and makes michael out to be a weirdo, and the truth is finally revealed. (D D-)
Theo Robertson .... is how journalist Martin Bashir introduced this documentary on this one time superstar , so right away I was expecting lashings of irony and I got it and a whole lot more though I have to admit this is sometimes an uneasy watch .A lot of people have come on here to put the boot into Bashir saying he set MJ up . I`m not too keen on Bashir myself since I`ve always found him something of a lightweight reporter but Bashir is blameless in getting Michael to say and do things on screen , everything weird , camp and disturbing from this documentary is down to Jackson not Bashir Michael goes into a store - Which has been closed by request from MJ`s entourage - and buys millions of dollars worth of junk . Bashir`s fault ? Michael and Martin drive around a track in go-carts with Jackson screaming " Oh stop it you`re cheating " in the most laughably camp voice I`ve ever heard . Bashir`s fault ? Michael tells us his hobby is climbing trees and it`s his favourite thing in his life . Bashir`s fault ? Michael takes his weirdly named children out for a walk with masks on their face . Bashir`s fault ? Michael invites a 12 year old boy who`s suffering from cancer to stay on his ranch alone . This is the same Michael Jackson who ten years ago was hit by allegations of sexually molesting a young boy on his ranch and who instead of going to court to clear his name and be proven innocent of the allegations decided to give the alleged victim a multi million pound compensation deal . How is any of this Bashir`s fault ? I should also point out that as I`m writing this review Jackson`s ranch has just been raided by police earlier today The only criticism I have with Bashir is that he didn`t ask the most obvious question which is this : " Michael if you`re an Afro-American then why do all your children resemble one hundred per cent white Europeans ? "
sundancedarkhorse Contains spoilers(yeah, but who would want to see this movie)-The ultimate purpose of this documentary was to make him out to be a normal person, not the freak he is frequently portrayed as. I watched this hoping to see that he's not as freaky as I thought. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Not only is he a freak, but I now think he is mentally ill. In one scene, just right after he dangled his poor baby, he tried so hard to show he's a good father. You can see the desperation when he is jiggling the baby, sadly named Blanket. If you expect to see him as a normal guy, you're in for a disappointment. This provides furthur evidence that he is a freak.
mj_zak Having been a fan of Michael Jackson all my life I, like many others were anticipating this program since it was announced. Martin Bashir who was known for his famous interview with Diana followed Michael Jackson around for 8 months. This documentary was the result.The last time that Michael had participated in such a detailed show was nearly 10 years ago with Oprah Winfrey. In this new one off special Michael tell's about his outrageous lifestyle and for the first time ever the world would get a glimpse of the Jackson children.One of the most shocking aspects of this documentary was Michael's relationship with a 12 year old cancer sufferer and his admitting to sharing his bed with other children. Since that and other certain other things were revealed (including why his 3 children dont live with there mothers) there hasnt been a day where the press werent digging into michael Jackson's life and making it a living hell. So what, he let's kid's sleep over?! It's the king of pop for crying out loud!Martin Bashir had deeply upset Jackson during the course of the interview but it still revealed the truth: That Michael Jackson is just a kid at heart.He's not pedophile and he isnt trying to be something he isnt. He's jut a gifted entertainer with a child's heart.I do believe that every effort was made to produce an honest portrayal of Michael, but it was some how sabotaged by the voice over's to make the public think of Michael as a negative aspect.
