Sad to watch now

Whether you're a fan or not, this movie has you rooting for Michael.
When his mother talks to him about not being afraid, you really empathize with him on a personal level. But seeing how things played out in his life makes that scene hard to watch.

Plus, Michael's speech about not getting beaten up by fame was heartfelt, except fame really did beat him up and most likely killed him. It's debatable

But I guess Jermaine as producer did a good job of allowing us to see the Jacksons in a different light.

Jermaine did an amazing job and I'm thankful we have the movie to tell the story. I'm still heartbroken that Michael is gone but he lives on through his music and family. My kids who are now teens are Michael Jackson fans and they've enjoyed the movie too especially my son.
