Love live forever

Everyone of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads—at least that’s where I imagine it, there’s a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in a while, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you’ll live forever in your own little private library.

Don't ask what or why. I think it's the weather. Inevitable raindrops, inevitable thoughts? I suppose it's something along that line.

Okay let's rewind. So yesterday, after one long day of work and despite having last minute report to complete and presentation due the next day, I decided to let my hair down. Simply because;

The much-hyped film of pop star's final rehearsals is here!

The day I've been waiting for since weeks ago.

Firstly, let me be honest. I am going to do this review in the point of being MJ's fan. Thus, im going to pass any comments or thoughts that I think will destroy the other fans' excitement and how they would label it, a definitve must-watch film. Probably some spoilers ahead yeah?

Okay go.

I cant deny the fact that it was an enjoyable night watching ‘This is it’ when I have people on my left dancing in her seat and couldnt seat still, people of the front rows back rows, singing and cheering on. It felt that MJ was vividly there, having his real life concert. It is like he is next to you in the cinema hall, an aura that radiates even off the screen!

‘You were definitely a legend, MJ’,

He will always be that one of a kind- King of Pop. The one that always be.

‘This is it’ is an honour bestowed upon this miraculous man. It’s not a documentary based on his life, but an account of his most recent dream. It’s a string of live shows in the London Arena that were to take place beginning July. It’s been compiled from footage of his stage rehearsals for the show, which was meant just for his personal library.

I kinda teared from the very first moment, as the documentary begins with excerpts from dancers who were auditioning for his show, they talk about what Micheal means to them and just how much his work affected who they are and what they strive to be. As an audience, it’s an overwhelming moment because I realize just what one person is capable of, just like what Michael has done!

So, we get to witness what goes behind creating the most awaited concert in the history of Pop music! MJ, 50 years old, on stage with dancers half his age, performing effortlessly and singing all his popular songs… Thriller, Billy Jean, Black and White, Don’t Care About Us, Smooth Criminal, Make Me Feel… ALL OF THEM. The special effects and routines top it all. With the additional magnanimous sets… it all comes to life. The Music, the Dance, the Spectacle! Fantastic!

‘This is it’ is the closest you can get to MJ, and not just to his talent, but also to Micheal, the person. It reflects just who he was and what he had created for himself. How he did what he did, his obsession for perfection, how well he understood music, and performances, and his message for the world: Love, Peace, Nature.

This is no ordinary movie or film; it can be your life-inspiring experience. Don’t let it go. The movie stays in theatres only for two weeks! So go watch it!

Love, Nin.
