Movie Review: 'Michael' | I couldn't stop the tears during the breathtaking climax. The real reason why the legend of Michael Jackson transcends time and shakes the soul

Good morning.

This is Tenmame.

Last night, I watched the movie 'Michael' in IMAX.

Honestly, I'm still a bit dazed.

Even after leaving the theater, the music kept playing in my head.

On the way home, after arriving home, and even before I went to sleep.

And this morning, when I woke up, the heat of that climactic stadium concert was still lingering deep in my chest.

I have to write this down quickly.

That's what I thought.

As time passes, emotions gradually turn into words.

But regarding this film, I want to write it down while my heart is still trembling, before it becomes a neatly organized review.

It was such an incredible cinematic experience that I felt that way.

First of all, the music was breathtaking.

The songs of Michael, the cheers, and the heat of the stage that you are bathed in with IMAX.

That was closer to being thrown into a massive concert venue than just watching a movie.

Especially the climax.

The lights of the stadium.

The frenzy of the audience.

And the atmosphere the moment Michael stood on stage.

I truly got goosebumps during that scene.

Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face.

I didn't cry because I intended to.

It wasn't so much that I was moved, but rather that my body reacted first.

That is how much the sound, the visuals, and Michael's presence completely swept me away.

I have been deeply moved by music films many times before.

I was also deeply struck by 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.

But this 'Michael' was not just a standard music biopic.

Of course, it is a film that traces the path of the world's greatest entertainer, Michael Jackson.

However, it is more than that.

What is truly amazing about this film is that while watching it, it shakes not only Michael's life but also the depths of your own life.

I want to be myself.

I want to live as myself.

I want to find a way to convey what is inside me to someone else.

Those wishes, which exist in everyone's heart, quietly awaken upon touching Michael's music, dance, and gaze.

Michael Jackson was the man who made the world dance.

But watching this film, I start to think that perhaps he didn't just want to make the world dance.

The pain, the loneliness, the love, the childlike innocence, and the wordless prayers within him.

He was trying to transform all of that into music, dance, and his gaze to deliver it to someone's heart.

That is why he transcended time.

That is why he still shakes our hearts even now.

The movie 'Michael' was a film that didn't just make me understand the reason with my head, but made me remember it with my entire being.

The world is going crazy for Michael once again

What's amazing about this film is that it's not just me who is excited.

The world is going crazy for Michael Jackson once again.

Since its release, the movie 'Michael' has been setting all-time records for a musical biopic.

It has been reported that its global box office revenue has surpassed 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' setting a new record as the number one musical biopic of all time.

In Japan as well, it recorded high attendance and box office revenue from its opening weekend, truly becoming a global phenomenon.

Why are people so drawn to Michael?

Why do his music, his dance, and his gaze continue to capture the hearts of people around the world even after his passing?

Watching this film, you begin to understand the reason a little bit.

Michael Jackson was not just someone who was good at singing.

He wasn't just someone who was good at dancing, either.

He wasn't just a successful star.

He was someone who turned music, body, imagery, and soul into a single form of expression.

Singing.

Dancing.

Staring.

Reaching out.

Tilting his hat.

Moving his fingertips.

Take a step, and you might slip.

Everything about it becomes a story.

Music takes on a physical form.

The human being himself becomes a work of art.

That was Michael Jackson.

This film lets us experience where that 'magic' was born.

What kind of story is the movie 'Michael'?

The story begins with Michael Jackson's childhood.

Young Michael, who grew up in Gary, Indiana.

Standing on stage as part of the Jackson 5 with his brothers, he captivates people with his overwhelming singing voice and presence.

He is still just a child.

Yet, the moment he starts to sing, the air changes.

There is a childlike innocence there, alongside a brilliance that seems as if it had already been discovered by destiny.

Before long, Michael gradually becomes a special presence within his family, among his brothers, and in the music industry.

The strict guidance of his father, Joe Jackson.

The quiet love of his mother, Katherine.

The bond with his brothers.

The applause he has been showered with since he was a young boy.

On the other hand, there is the pain of being pushed into the world of show business before he could fully live his life as a child.

While depicting such light and shadow, the film follows the path of Michael's leap as a solo artist and his eventual rise to become the world's greatest entertainer.

"Off the Wall".

"Thriller".

"Billie Jean".

"Beat It".

"Bad".

The Moonwalk.

The music video revolution.

The frenzy of stadium concerts.

This film is not simply a collection of hit songs.

It shows how Michael found his own expression, refined it, and presented it to the world.

It attempts to depict the family, loneliness, obsession with creation, childlike innocence, and human wounds that existed behind the scenes.

The director is Antoine Fuqua, known for "Training Day" and the "Equalizer" series.

The lead role is played by Michael's nephew, Jaafar Jackson.

The screenplay is by John Logan, known for "Gladiator" and other works.

Graham King, producer of "Bohemian Rhapsody," is also listed as a producer.

You can tell just by looking at this lineup.

This is not a film that just tried to make a celebrity biography.

I believe it is a work that seriously challenges itself as a music film, as entertainment, and as a story depicting the soul of a single human being.

I am not a film critic. I was just deeply fulfilled by this movie.

When it was first released in the United States, this film received harsh criticism from some critics.

The praise and criticism surrounding the latter half of Michael's life.

The issues that caused a public stir.

The complex and painful points of contention.

There was a view that the film didn't delve deeply enough into those aspects, and instead merely celebrated his music and glory.

I do not intend to treat that criticism lightly.

The existence of Michael Jackson is simply too vast.

Because he is so vast, it is not a matter of just looking at the light.

Depicting someone's life is not about cutting out only the convenient parts.

I understand that very well.

But at the same time, while watching this movie, I thought to myself.

As a film critic, I was not sitting there to judge every aspect of this work.

As a member of the audience, I was there to see how much the artist Michael Jackson has moved the hearts of so many people.

I was in the theater to experience those 'moments' with my whole being.

And in that sense, this film was magnificent.

Setting aside the critics' evaluations, I also fully understand why general audiences were so enthusiastic about this film and pushed it to become a major hit.

People don't just want to see a perfect chronology.

They don't come to the theater looking for an explanatory document that covers every single point of contention.

Sometimes, we want to touch the music, the dance, the gaze, the loneliness, the dreams, and the overwhelming moments created by an artist.

Why does my heart tremble?

Why do the tears fall?

Why does someone on the other side of the screen grab our hearts so tightly?

Sometimes, I go to the movie theater in search of that very experience.

I did not watch this film as the final conclusion to Michael Jackson's life.

I watched it to see how a great artist arrived at a form of expression that moves the world.

I watched it as a film that immerses you in the heat of his creation, the pain of his family, his childlike heart, his loneliness, and the overwhelming power of his entertainment.

In that sense, I am very satisfied.

In fact, I believe that because this film chose not to tell the whole story, it was able to get straight to the heart of the joy of the music Michael created, the excitement of his stage performances, and the essence of the expression that shakes people's souls.

This is not a film that explains a legend. It is a film that lets you witness the moment magic is born.

Too many images are layered over the name Michael Jackson.

The King of Pop.

The moonwalk.

The white glove.

Thriller.

Scandals.

Mysteries.

Loneliness.

And, a legend.

People who are too famous sometimes become difficult to see as human beings.

We may think we know Michael, but in reality, we might just be seeing him as a symbol.

However, this film goes deep inside the Michael who has become a symbol.

Before Michael Jackson became "Michael Jackson."

When he was just a boy.

When he was just one of the brothers.

A time when he was nervous in front of his father, wrapped in his mother's love, and seemed able to express his inner self only through singing.

The film shines a light on those beginnings.

And it asks the audience a question.

Where did that magic come from?

Where did that singing voice come from?

Why does that dance make people all over the world move their bodies?

What was behind that gentle gaze?

I believe this is the core of the film.

It doesn't just look at Michael from afar as a "great man."

How he was hurt, how he dreamed, how he polished himself, and how he arrived at his form of expression.

You witness that process.

It feels as if you are sitting at the very scene where a legend was born.

That is why this film, while being a biographical movie, transcends the genre.

It is not a film for learning history.

It is a film where you witness the moment magic is born with your own body.

Young Michael's singing voice was less of a talent and more of a "destiny."

The depiction of the Jackson 5 era was deeply moving.

Young Michael stands on stage.

The smallest body among his brothers.

Yet, the moment he starts to sing, the center of the atmosphere shifts.

That was not just a 'child who is good at singing'.

He was a presence that changed the temperature of the room just by singing.

A child's innocence.

An innate sense of rhythm.

A voice that draws people in.

And, a loneliness that already seemed somewhat mature.

All of that existed at the same time.

Here, I wondered what talent really is.

Is talent a light given at birth?

Or is it something that is inevitably polished within the environment, pain, expectations, training, love, and loneliness that a person is placed in?

In Michael's case, I think it was both.

He was certainly a chosen boy.

But at the same time, he was also a boy who had been chosen.

Applause is a blessing.

But for a young child, it also becomes an inescapable expectation.

Being loved by people all over the world and being loved for oneself in peace are not the same thing.

In this film, that poignancy seeped through the young Michael.

Every time he sings, people praise him.

But amidst that praise, he slowly loses the time to be a normal child.

Talent is sometimes a blessing, and sometimes a destiny.

Young Michael's singing voice quietly taught us that.

Conflict with his father. Love and control are sometimes terrifyingly close.

One thing this film cannot avoid is the presence of his father, Joe Jackson.

Strict.

Scary.

Dominating.

Obsessed with success.

He discovers talent in his children, trains them thoroughly, and tries to lift his family out of poverty.

There is something too painful in that figure to call it love.

However, this film does not portray the father as a simple villain.

I felt a depth in that.

Of course, I think the father's strictness left scars on Michael's heart.

For that sensitive boy, his father's presence was too overwhelming.

He wanted to be acknowledged.

He wanted to be praised.

He wanted to be loved.

But at the same time, he was afraid.

Those complex emotions seeped through Michael's expressions and his silence.

On the other hand, I think his father was also desperate, caught within his era and circumstances.

Protecting the family.

Making his children successful.

Not letting talent go to waste.

Pushing them out into the world.

That wish, at some point, turned into control.

Love and control are sometimes terrifyingly close to one another.

Because they are family, the wounds run deeper.

Because he loved them, he ended up binding them.

Because he wanted to protect them, he ended up stealing their freedom.

This film does not easily judge that pain.

It doesn't make it a story that ends by simply hating his father.

It doesn't portray Michael only as a pitiful victim.

That complexity was very human.

And I think.

The intense perfectionism in Michael's expression, the obsession to polish his craft until it overwhelms the audience, and his refusal to allow any compromise on stage.

Perhaps some of that was carved into him by his father.

It was pain, it was a curse, and at the same time, it was the fire that propelled him to the world.

People are not broken by wounds alone.

Sometimes, he would transform those wounds into expression.

I think that is the kind of person Michael was.

A mother's love and the bond between brothers. Family was at the origin of Michael's life.

If the conflict with his father was pain, the presence of his mother, Katherine, was a prayer.

In the movie, there was a quiet warmth in his mother's gaze.

A love that sought to embrace her children amidst a harsh reality.

A prayer within the family.

I believe that the kindness, sensitivity, faith, and that fragile, pure part deep inside Michael were deeply connected to his mother's love.

And then, his brothers.

The Jackson 5 was not just a music group.

They were a family.

Brothers who grew up in the same house, stood on the same stage, chased the same dreams, and carried the same pressure.

That bond resonated warmly many times throughout the film.

Of course, eventually, Michael would soar ahead on his own.

From one of the brothers to Michael of the world.

That change must have surely brought both pride and loneliness.

A talent born within a family goes beyond the family's boundaries to the world.

It is both a blessing and a farewell.

But no matter how far he went, family remained at the origin of Michael's life.

The conflict with his father.

A mother's love.

The bond with his brothers.

All of it is infused into his music.

Memories of being loved, memories of being hurt, the desire to be acknowledged, and the cry to be free.

I believe all of it became the fuel for his expression.

Michael gazing at Peter Pan. The world's most famous boy and his unreachable childhood innocence.

In the film, there are scenes where Michael looks at a Peter Pan picture book time and again.

Every time, my heart ached.

Michael, who loved animals, kept his childlike heart, and seemed to let his soul escape to a place different from reality.

The world's greatest superstar.

A man who drives tens of thousands of spectators into a frenzy.

Yet, deep inside, there was a part of him that remained a boy forever.

That is not immaturity.

It looked like the final sanctuary that his fragile heart kept to protect itself.

Growing up.

Becoming successful.

Being wanted by the whole world.

While it may look glamorous, it is actually incredibly cruel.

The more famous he became, the more everyone watched him.

The more everyone demanded from him.

Everyone talks about him.

But perhaps what he truly wanted for himself was something smaller, quieter, and softer.

A place where he could feel safe.

Time spent with animals.

Moments where he could laugh innocently.

A world where he could just be himself, without being anyone else.

The film doesn't over-explain why Michael was drawn to Peter Pan.

However, it clearly lets it seep through the visuals.

The person who gave dreams to people all over the world needed a dreamland more than anyone else.

This contradiction is so heartbreaking.

Everyone calls him the 'King of Pop'.

But I wonder how heavy that crown was for him.

Where was the world's most famous boy supposed to go home to?

Thinking about that made my chest tighten.

Jaafar Jackson didn't just imitate Michael; he carried the warmth of his soul.

I believe the great miracle of this film is the lead actor, Jaafar Jackson.

He is Michael's nephew.

Perhaps that is why, from the moment he appeared on screen, there was something that went beyond mere recreation.

Of course, the dancing was breathtaking.

The way he stood.

The angle of the neck.

The movement of the shoulders.

The fingertips.

The footwork.

The stillness on stage.

The gesture of handling the hat.

The hand holding the microphone.

That unique rhythm.

The attention to detail is incredible.

However, that was not what moved me the most.

Michael's signature whispering tone.

A voice that was slightly reserved, yet held a strong will at its core.

And the kindness in his gaze.

Those eyes made me cry time and time again.

Playing Michael Jackson is not just about looking like him.

It is not about recreating the moonwalk.

It is not about imitating his voice.

Why did he speak the way he did?

Why did he dance the way he did?

Why did he move people's hearts so deeply?

Unless you go that deep, you cannot reach Michael.

Jaafar Jackson's performance had that level of resolve.

This is not an impersonation.

It was a challenge where a young actor entered the inside of a legend and tried to channel the temperature of that person's soul through his own body.

That is why he looked like Michael time and time again.

It is not because his face looks like him.

It is not because his movements look like his, either.

It is because the purity deep within him was clearly seeping through.

Especially that softness when he speaks.

The slightly shy expression when he faces someone.

The eyes mixed with love and anxiety when he looks at the audience.

The deep loneliness and kindness of the human being called Michael resided there.

'Billie Jean' and the Moonwalk. The few seconds when history moved.

There is a scene in the movie that everyone is waiting for.

'Billie Jean'.

And the Moonwalk.

The moment Michael takes that step.

It looks like he is moving forward, yet he is sliding backward.

That mysterious movement, as if he were released from gravity.

Inside the movie theater, I understood with my whole body why the people who saw it for the first time gasped.

This is not just a dance.

It was the moment pop culture history was rewritten in an instant.

Until then, music was something you listened to.

Of course, it was also something you watched.

But Michael changed that even further.

He made music something you bathe in with your body.

He turned music into visuals.

He turned music into a story.

He turned music into the very existence of a human being.

The moonwalk is beautiful as a technique.

But to me, it looked even more like Michael's life itself.

It looks like he is moving forward, yet he slides backward.

It looks effortless, yet it requires unimaginable training.

It looks like a dream, yet there is loneliness and pressure at his feet.

Everyone cheers.

But the person at the center of those cheers is searching for love somewhere, always.

Wasn't that Michael's life?

The moonwalk was his beauty, his contradiction, and his prayer.

Thriller is not just a song. It was an 'experience' that the world wants to see again and again.

I was also overwhelmed by the recreation of 'Thriller'.

Horror.

Humor.

Dance.

Story.

Visuals.

Music.

Everything is fused together.

It makes me think again.

Michael was not just someone who sold songs.

He was someone who created an 'experience' that the world would want to see again and again.

'Thriller' changed the very concept of a music video.

It wasn't just a promotional video for a song, but a short film.

A world of its own.

An event in itself.

That is why it never fades, even after decades.

People don't just want to listen to music.

They want their hearts to be taken away.

They want to enter a world they have never seen before.

They want their inner emotions to be stirred.

I believe Michael knew that.

He turned music into a 'work of art'.

And he turned that work into an 'experience'.

That is why he became not just a singer, but an artist who moved the era itself.

'Beat It'. Only those who cross boundaries create a new world.

'Beat It' also holds significant meaning within this film.

Rock and pop.

R&B and the street.

Music and visuals.

Dance and drama.

Michael breaks down the boundaries of genres.

Truly new expressions are born on the boundaries.

'This is how things are.'

'This is how it should be done in this genre.'

'This person can only go this far.'

Michael crossed those invisible walls through his music.

His greatness lies not just in reaching the pinnacle within a single framework.

It lies in changing the framework itself.

That is why his expression reached so many people.

To those who love R&B.

And to those who love rock.

For those who love pop music.

For those who love dance.

For those who love cinema.

And for those who simply want to have their hearts stirred.

Michael used his music to dissolve the walls between people.

I believe this is the true power of an entertainer.

I want you to see it in IMAX. This isn't just information; it's a film you experience with your whole body.

I watched it in IMAX this time.

That was truly the right choice.

If possible, I highly recommend seeing it in IMAX.

The essence of this film is not information.

It is an experience.

The music plays.

The beat resonates through your body.

The cheers wash over you.

The lights flash.

The stage expands.

Michael moves.

In that moment, even my own body on this side of the screen begins to remember something.

Especially during the stadium concert climax.

It was no longer just a movie.

It was a massive vortex of music.

Rather than being in the audience, it felt like being completely enveloped by the energy that Michael's presence radiated.

The sound beats against your chest.

The light burns into your eyes.

The frenzy of the audience surges like a wave.

And then, Michael stands.

In that moment, you understand.

Ah, so this is what a star is.

So this is what it means to express something that shakes a person's soul.

Talent is not just about being good at something.

It is not just about having technique.

It is about that person's very existence lighting a fire in someone else's heart.

It is about reaching deep into the body, beyond words and beyond logic.

I realized that is what true expression is.

With the same producer involved as 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' the experience as a music film was truly breathtaking.

But 'Michael' has an even greater physicality.

It is not just the singing.

It is not just the dancing.

It is the music, the body, the visuals, the costumes, the lighting, and the frenzy of the audience.

Everything comes together to build the phenomenon that is Michael Jackson.

This is something you cannot fully grasp just by watching it as information on a small screen.

It was a film that should be experienced on a big screen, enveloped in sound, and bathed in with your whole body.

The deeper the applause, the deeper the loneliness

Watching this film, I thought about it many times.

Isn't it true that the deeper the applause, the deeper the loneliness?

Michael was loved by the whole world.

Everyone knows his name.

Everyone has touched his music.

Everyone has seen his dancing.

But how many people really knew him?

To be a star means to be seen by many people.

But being seen and being understood are different things.

Being loved and being able to love with peace of mind are also different.

Michael was sought after by the whole world.

But wasn't he always looking for a place where he could just be himself?

That poignancy seeped through every part of the film.

Perfect on stage.

But in a fleeting expression, you can see the boy.

Driving the whole world into a frenzy.

Yet, the way he gazes at the Peter Pan picture book suggests he is searching for a place to return to.

That contrast tightened my chest time and time again.

The brighter a person shines, the lonelier they can become.

The more is expected of someone, the more they may hide their true feelings.

The more someone is sought after, the more they may lose sight of where their true self lies.

Perhaps Michael's life was the ultimate example of that.

That is why his singing voice is not just beautiful.

That is why his dancing is not just cool.

Within it, there was the prayer of a single human being.

A true artist is someone who transforms their life into expression.

The major question this film poses at the end is,

'What is a true artist?'

That is what it was.

There are many skilled people.

There are many talented people.

There are many famous people.

There are many popular people.

But I believe a true artist is someone who transforms their very life into expression.

For Michael, music was not a job.

Dance was not a technique.

The stage was not a place for self-aggrandizement.

For him, expression was perhaps about offering everything he had within himself.

The joy, the wounds, the loneliness, the desire to be loved, and the dreams he wanted to protect as a child.

He stood on stage carrying all of that.

That is why he was not just a star.

He was a presence that inspired people's hearts.

And I believe this is not just a story for those with special talents.

We, too, live our lives expressing something every day.

A word spoken to someone.

An action chosen out of care for a loved one.

The sincerity poured into work.

The silence of thinking about family.

The courage to say you love what you love.

And the feeling of wanting to share with someone that you were truly moved.

I believe all of these are expressions that only that person can create.

The goal is not to show off well.

The goal is not to speak impressively either.

What you truly found beautiful.

What moved your heart.

The moments you didn't want to forget.

You gently offer that to someone through your own words and actions.

At that moment, expression ceases to be mere information.

It becomes something that lights a small flame in someone's heart.

You don't need to drive the whole world into a frenzy like Michael.

However, we are all capable of turning our own lives into our own unique expressions.

It doesn't have to be on a grand stage.

It doesn't need thunderous applause.

The things you felt in your daily life.

The things you protected even while being hurt.

The feeling of cherishing someone.

The heart that wishes to believe once more.

Perhaps it is within such things that a brilliance you haven't even noticed yet lies dormant.

This film is Michael's film, and it is also our own film.

While this is a film about Michael Jackson, it is also a film about us, the viewers.

Because it exists deep within everyone's heart.

The wish to be oneself.

The dream to live as oneself.

The prayer to find one's own unique brilliance, rather than imitating someone else.

But before we know it, we forget.

Comparing ourselves to others.

Worrying about your age.

Dwelling on past failures.

Believing that you have no talent.

Assuming that such experiences have no value.

But perhaps, the truth is different.

The things that hurt you.

The detours you took.

The things you have agonized over.

And the fact that you have lived on without giving up despite it all.

All of that becomes the inspiration for your own unique expression.

I don't think Michael was someone who erased his pain.

He wasn't someone who pretended his loneliness didn't exist, either.

He was someone who, while carrying his pain and his loneliness, still stood on stage, turned it into music, and gave it a form that could reach someone's heart.

That is why this film is not just a movie about a star.

It is a film that reminds you of the unseen brilliance within your own life.

"Maybe there is still something I can do."

"I want to believe in my life once more."

"I want to try and share what is inside me with someone."

It lights such a small flame deep within your heart.

I want to go see it again with my wife and family.

I want to see this movie again.

Next time, I want to watch it with my wife.

If possible, I want to watch it with my family too.

I want to be bathed in that music once more.

I want to receive that gaze once more.

I want to experience the thrill of that stadium concert once more.

And, I want to talk about it after watching it.

Michael was amazing, wasn't he?

But it wasn't just that, was it?

He must have been searching for love all along.

He was trying to deliver what was inside him to the world.

It was a movie that made me want to talk about those things.

Good movies have a time that continues even after they end.

Even after leaving the theater, the story doesn't end.

On the way home, I suddenly remember it.

The next morning, when I sit at my usual desk, it is still ringing deep in my heart.

'Michael' was exactly that kind of movie.

What the man who made the world dance left behind for us

Michael Jackson was the world's greatest entertainer.

There is no doubt about that.

However, this film showed us more than just that.

He was a man who transformed his life into expression.

He sang while carrying his pain.

He danced while carrying his loneliness.

He never let go of his childlike dreams until the very end.

And he turned himself into a light that remains in the memories of people all over the world.

That is why I do not want to call this film just a musical biography.

This is a film that reminds us of the 'unseen brilliance' within each and every one of us.

You don't have to make the whole world dance like Michael.

You don't have to make tens of thousands of spectators go wild.

But we can each transform our own lives into expression.

We can turn our own pain into someone else's hope.

We can turn our own detours into someone else's guidepost.

We can deliver a small light to someone's heart with our own words.

How much do I believe in my own life?

Am I properly expressing what is inside me?

In this one-time-only life, what can I leave in someone's heart?

In the darkness of the movie theater, Michael sang, danced, and stared back at me.

His gaze seemed to be saying this:

Don't forget the sound within yourself.

You, too, are allowed to express your own life.

You are allowed to offer what is uniquely yours to the world.

That is why I want you to watch this movie.

To those who have loved Michael.

To those who do not know Michael in real-time.

To those who love music.

To those who love movies.

And to everyone who wishes to express something.

To you, who want to believe in your own life once more.

This movie will surely reach you.

From beyond the screen, Michael's beat is playing.

It is not the sound of a legend from the past.

It is a sound that moves the hearts of those of us living in the present once again.

In your drafts, too.

In your diary, too.

In the record of your life that you haven't told anyone about yet, too.

Surely, there is a beat that hasn't played yet.

The movie 'Michael' was a breathtaking musical experience that reminded me of that with my whole being.

If possible, I want you to watch it in a theater and experience it with your whole body.

And after you finish watching, I want you to listen closely to the depths of your own heart for just a moment.

Because the dreams you had forgotten might still be trembling there.
