This Is It

I was blessed enough to see the highly  praised Michael Jackson film, 'This Is It,' on its opening night. Let me tell you this for sure, it was worth all the hype and not at all overrated. The film was put together by Kenny Ortega. Ortega took the best from over 100 hours of footage from Michael Jackson's last rehearsals. The This Is It Tour was easily going to be the best and most elaborate arena show in history. The technology being used was unbelievable. They had developed many new technologies and stage preparation methods that were being developed just for Michael's shows. 'This Is It' is brilliantly crafted and presented. It shows Michael's true genius and God given talent and spectacular showmanship, all while showcasing his heart and sincere concern for humanity and our planet. There is no way anyone could see Michael in this picture and deny he was musically and artistically gifted by God. He had an angelic soul to go along with his unearthly talent. 'This Is It' is the first movie I have seen in a very long time that actually inspired me. I was thinking to myself all throughout the movie, "That's what it looks like to truly love what you do." "That's what it looks like to have a deep passion for life and know your purpose for living on Earth." "That's what sincere charity and humility should be." "This is what it means to live by your own raw and true talent." I can't say enough good things about the film, you just gotta see it for yourself to believe it. You don't even have to be a Michael Jackson fan to enjoy and be touched by 'This Is It.' When you see the film and he explains why he chose 'This Is It' for the title of the show you will be moved. The message he sends is a powerful one. Hint: It's got nothing to do with him and everything to do with mankind. We can't afford to ignore this movie.
