But after watching JOURNEY from Mowtown to Off the Wall. I hope Spike is saving the best for last with THRILLER Documentary. And the extraordinary sad events on how we lost him.įirst there was the BAD documentary, then there's the OFF THE WALL documentary. And yet, I'm reminded of just how extraordinary of a talent Michael was. To the people who were influenced in and around the time of Michael, and the Jackson 5. The interviews from the people who were there, in the studio. Can't help but think of the time and skill at which Spike Lee puts into this needed to be told Documentary on the life of Michael Jackson leading up to his release of OFF THE WALL. This documentary on the impressive, to say the least, Michael Jackson.Is GOLD. Reviewed by poicop 9 /10 Wow! Spike Lee Awesome Work! We hear how Michael eventually broke away from his family, but no mention of the fact that he was physically abused by his father, and the fact that might have something to do with his desire to work on his own. My biggest question is what did Jackson want to do different artistically that he could not do before? This is never answered. When in fact, there were serious subjects, conflicts and challenges within this era of Jacksons life. Its more important to make this a celebration of Jackson, keep the audience amazed and keep the grove going. But its all done in a hurry as we plow through some beats and steps from Jacksons glittery feet on stage. He hints of controversial subjects such as racism destroying the genre of disco, and Jackson rising above that. He does not interview Quincy Jones, the main producer who launched Jacksons solo career, and relies on old archival footage instead. He does not really go in depth enough, as he should for this big artist. Even though he has people who wrote some of the songs, like Stevie Wonder, he refuses to go into detail and lets other irrelevant artists such as Pharell describe them instead. Go through each track and talk a little bit about it, and when we get to the last track, the film ends. Mix it with archival footage of Michael Jackson. The recipe is this: Talk to a bunch of famous people about how great they think Off the wall is.

Spike Lee seem to have settled for a recipe for how to make documentaries about Michael Jackson that are entertaining but not really informative. Reviewed by mariuswmadsen 7 /10 Another good but not great music documentary from Mr. I know I wrote a lot of things about some less good parts of the documentary but there is still more than enough good clips to go around to validate a watch and I actually kind of hope that Spike Lee will make a documentary about the making of 'Dangerous' as well.

He also takes the time to tell a story of a childhood story, with a very loose connection to MJ.Īnd a lot of interviews of substance are archive footage but overall it's still mostly entertaining and interesting. I know Spike Lee is a big basketball fan but jeez.Īlso feel like Spike Lee himself occasionally forget to just document as he often reacts loudly to what the interview-objects are saying, making various comments. Which isn't a bad thing but it also has some stuff I didn't appreciate much, such as there is a guy (think he's a rapper) who talks about how the first time he heard 'She's Out Of My Life' was when Eddie Murphy was making fun of him in 'Delirious'.Īnd then they go into cutting back and forth Michael Jacksons emotional performance to Eddie Murphy's parody and it just didn't sit right with me as I found it a bit disrespectful and also I don't think many people can relate to that random guy's story either.Īnd although Justin Bieber was a questionable interview-object in 'Bad 25' I think, Kobe Bryant is even more questionable who get's even more screen-time being interviewed here, like what does he even know about music? I mean in a way it makes sense that it would, as it not only covers the making of 'Off the Wall' but the first half of the doc also covers Michael Jackson's career from the very beginning of Jackson 5 to the birth of said album. Watching it it feels more rushed than 'Bad 25' which dug deep into the whole making of the album where as this 'Journey from Motown to Off the Wall' is a bit more unfocused. Off The Wall is my favorite Michael Jackson album, so when I heard that Spike Lee was gonna make a documentury about the making of that album it made me excited as I thought he did really good with 'Bad 25 (2012)' which was about the making of MJ's BAD album and 'shortfilms'. Reviewed by Seth_Rogue_One 7 /10 Not as good and complete as Bad 25 (2012) but still good.
