*Movie Review*

This Is it



Humiliated and deprived of his right as a citizen, he struggled in life to be accepted for who he was, not what society wanted him to be, yet society rejected him and cold bloodily murdered him with their words and lawsuits. Paparazzi, desperate were they to gain public attention and get rich quick that they forgot the person they were hurting was not an animal but a human being with characteristics like themselves, but different and unique. Michael Jackson had a rough child hood and a misunderstood adulthood. The king of pop they say, yet they had no respect for him. Dead and gone with his many rehearsals transformed into a movie to show the other side of him that he tried to show us, yet we rejected it and did not give him a chance. This is his piece of evidence of his existence that will be shown for centuries.
This is it, is a 5 star movies that depicts a man whom earned his title as king of pop. Active and jolly on and off stage regardless of what the world was putting him through. Michael’s interaction with his backgrounds performers gives you another perspective on him. Fun, imaginative, humorous and intelligent are the words that come to mind when trying to describe his rehearsal routines. This is the kind of movies that is not only education but fun to watch. The suspense of the music puts you on the edge of your seat. The choreography was like none ever seen in any movie, show or real life show. This is a movie that will not be forgotten centuries from now and will become an even bigger hit years from now. If our generation doses not understand the significance behind this movie then maybe the next generation will. The movie is like a jigsaw puzzle, it will have you trying to piece both sides of his life up. The side that we never got the chance to see and the side that we got to see but misinterpreted.

A movie that is kind of similar is Ruby Bridges. This is a movie about a little black girl that was judged by the content of her skin color and misunderstood. Eager for an education and to make new friends she was blinded by the hatred that surrounded her, ready to consume her like a fish in the ocean. The white people judged her before they got to know her, just like the king of pop we judged what little of himself he showed us before we got to know who he really was as a whole.

Good job, Ami.

We have to work on your grammar -- there are glaring mistakes in your English.
