Product Description

Product Description

Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts at London’s O2 Arena. Chronicling the months from April through June 2009, this film was produced with the full support of the Estate of Michael Jackson and drawn from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show. In raw and candid detail, Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT captures the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, creative genius and great artist at work as he creates and perfects his planned final London shows.

Amazon.com

It's hard not to watch This Is It without feeling a mixture of sorrow and elation. When he passed away in the summer of 2009, Michael Jackson was in the midst of rehearsals for his final tour, an ambitious 50-date engagement. In editing 120 hours of rehearsal footage together, Jackson producer Kenny Ortega proves that it would've been an event for the ages. Michael performs material that spans his career, from a Motown medley to multi-platinum hits from Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad. Though he hadn't toured in 10 years, it becomes instantly apparent, despite rumors to the contrary, that Jackson was still in full possession of that unmistakable voice--high-pitched whoops and all--and that he still had the gravity-defying moves of a man half his age. Jackson and Ortega also collaborated on some real showstoppers, such as a graveyard-set "Thriller"; an imposing "They Don't Care About Us," in which several dancers appear to morph into thousands; and a film noir sequence in which the singer slides in and out of Gilda and other black-and-white classics, singing "Smooth Criminal" all the while. Not everything works, like the Jackson 5 numbers, in which he flubs a few lyrics, claiming that his earpiece isn't working properly, but as he readily acknowledges, "That's what rehearsal is for." It's a tragedy that he didn't get the chance to share this dazzling show with the world, but Ortega allows fans to feel as if it actually happened--at least onscreen. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Michael Jackson is the best. I don't care what anyone says. I have my own feelings about proof of this and that... what a tragedy of a life is some ways. But spectacularly beautiful in others. Michael Jackson is a classic, an icon, a legend. ONe of the few on this Earth who will be timeless. I can still enjoy his music... doesn't get old. And his personality that comes through... he's a gentle soul, that's my take at this time.

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2015
THIS IS IT provides a behind-the-scenes view of Michael Jackson's efforts to launch one last tour of fifty performances prior to retirement. MJ often used cameras during rehearsals to capture footage to view in his downtime in order to make last-minute improvements and corrections for his live performances. For this reason, viewers of this DVD have the extremely rare opportunity to view a perfectionist in the midst of perfecting.

While many dispute the appropriateness of sharing footage MJ never intended for the public, the amount of money generated from creating this feature-length documentary, among other projects, ensured that executors of MJ's estate (John Branca and John McClain) were able to preserve the financial wherewithal of MJ's children, which had become a major source of uncertainty and concern for their father prior to his death. To handle the business side of This is It, MJ reunited his old team of Branca and McClain with Frank Dileo along with Kenny Ortega, director of DANGEROUS and HISTORY tours, to handle the creative side.

Despite the shadow of prescription drug addiction and the lethal use of anesthesia, what cannot be denied from viewing the disc is the sheer magnetism, charisma, and command of stage that MJ always maintained from childhood. Whenever he is in the camera's frame, the viewer's eyes find him and then cannot leave him. Though soft of voice, MJ maintains control of music, sound, lighting, choreography, and yes, even direction. At the same time, he respectfully receives and offers constructive feedback to raise performance levels for himself and others, always "with love," and "God bless you," he says.

Because this is rehearsal footage, we do not see MJ singing or dancing at the top of his range. As he repeats several times, he is preserving his voice and energy for the show itself. Still, the audience witnesses his athletic body memory performing complex dance movements on several numbers. He also corrects the tone, pitch, and timing of his backing singers and music director.

The audience sees a genius who maintains a sense of humor and generosity towards fellow performers, musicians, crew, and director. He makes sure his female guitarist and duet partner have their time to shine and that his dancers have plenty of opportunities to showcase their own athleticism. While MJ appears tired during rehearsal for Thriller, for all other numbers, he appears alert, energetic, engaged, positive, and confident.

As for concerns about body weight, a repeat view of the Bad tour, Live at Wembley 1988 reveals a man with a dancer's body--slender with lean musculature and sufficient cardio ability to dance and sing for two hours. Other people who pop-locked in the 80s have since decided to give their joints rest. Nineteen years later, however, we see MJ still lean of build, fifty-years-old, and strong enough to continue pop-locking at a time most other dancers either become teachers and choreographers or actors. Weak people cannot pop lock, fall to their knees, slide on the floor, then get back up, belt out a song, jump around, stomp the floor, then reprimand their music director "with love" for still not understanding who's actually in charge. "That's why we rehearse," MJ says.

In-between rehearsal footage, the audience receives asides from the producers, film and concert director, dance and music directors, costume designer, etc on their thoughts of their experiences with MJ and This is It. Missing are thoughts or views from any member of MJ's family--mother, father, sisters, brothers, children. This leaves friends and acquaintances to tell the story of the last moments of MJ's life.

This is It, is also the title of an unfinished 80s demo, finally completed with backing vocals from the Jacksons that plays over end credits. The song sounds great and hopefully, such collaborations will continue with the vast collection of unreleased MJ demos, perhaps even with occasional assistance from sister Janet.

Disc includes two making-of documentaries and three featurettes on costumes, dance auditions, and interviewees sharing their memories of working with MJ.

Worth the price of purchase by both fans and non-fans to view the last rehearsal performances of the greatest pop star on the entire planet--Michael Jackson. Though North American media challenged and even mocked MJ's King of Pop designation, through sheer force of worldwide record and album sales, worldwide fan devotion, genius-level songwriting and storytelling ability, plus record-setting contributions to charitable causes, MJ's influence in the world of music entertainment can be denied only by the petty and the confused.
No longer just a man.
Michael Jackson is legend.
He is King of Pop.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 17, 2010
Very sad and at the same time quite heartening to see MJ rehearse with all the passion of his evident insistence on perfection. None of the fake documentaries portraying him (rightly or wrongly) as mad as a badger or pardon the pun...just plain bad. Yes this is very air brushed, Ortega is a rather sickly sycophant, the like of which would never have survived without the patronage of Jackson. The product has lots of repetition but as has been said, that was it for MJ, he's has been dispatched by his addiction/medical attendants lack of sense. Most of all however we lost MJ perhaps by the lack of normal people around him to protect him from himself. Someone to just say every now and then are you sure about that and perhaps just fall ou with him every now and then as opposed to be depending on him for their income and existence? Will we ever hear of ortega again or see the female guitarist (great as she was here) do anything but be billed as ex Michael Jackson guitarist! The affection and awe in equal measure dispensed from the young dancers and hardened back up musicians in particular is palpable but he could be most of their Dad's! However nobody's Dad could dance like that...not one ever. Such a shame the full show was never seen and this cobbled together version is inevitably cut short by his death. It is justified only because of his death and yes obviously it has a glaringly obvious commercial motive to bail out the family and Ortega plus AIG together. Sucking the cash cow dry as ever with one last shot. The main plus here is to see him work so hard as a middle aged man and not only match but out strip dancers and singers decades his junior. Whatever his failings, and everyone has them his strengths were irreplaceable. Everyone who buys this will miss him all the more for what we have lost. I suspect if anyone really wants to question MJ and his work ethic they only need to look here to find out what a mistake that is. As per his autopsy report and give or take a few needle marks (courtesy of his pet African doctor) he was in great shape, great voice and sharp as any tack.
