The film is utterly incurious about the King of Pop’s psychological development, personality and contradictions — the things that made him human.
After I watched “Michael,” the new Jackson estate-approved biopic that follows the King of Pop from his youth in Gary, Indiana, until he proclaims his independence from his notoriously imperious father in 1984, I took the New York subway home.
I could not stop thinking about Jordan Neely, a homeless Michael Jackson impersonator, who was in the middle of a mental health crisis aboard an MTA train on May 1, 2023. He died after Daniel Penny, a white U.S. Marine veteran, placed him in a chokehold. On the way home from the movie, I could not stop thinking about what we lose by choosing to turn away from ugly, difficult truths rather than engage them, and what we lose when we reject introspection.

Michael Jackson's biopic is "definitely" at the centre of talks for a sequel, actor Effie Spence says.
Spence, who portrays Liza Minnelli in the newly released film about the pop superstar, made the admission as she praised its lead Jaafar Jackson for a "sublime" portrayal of his uncle.
"I think there's definitely kind of talk for there being a second film," she told Page Six.
At an early screening of âMichael,â the new bio-pic based on the life of Michael Jackson, there was silence for a moment after the credits rolled, and then someone exclaimed, âThat was fucking awesome!â It was a good omen, although in fairness this was not an unbiased audience. A couple of dozen people had gathered at a sound stage on the Universal Studios lot, in California, for some last-minute trouble-shooting, and so everyone in the room was invested in the filmâs success.
âMichaelâ was designed to be an international crowd-pleaserâthe kind of film that executives hope will drag audiences away from their small screens and deposit them in front of big ones, where they can watch and sing along and even dance, if theatres permit it. There was no dancing on this night, unless you counted the projected receipts waltzing through the minds of the people involved. The movieâs lead producer is Graham King, an Englishman who also produced âBohemian Rhapsody,â about the rock band Queen, which made more than nine hundred million dollars at the box office upon its release, in 2018. King has been working ever since then to bring a Michael Jackson film to theatres, and now only technicalities remained. He suggested that the crowd noise be increased during one of the concert scenes. (The movie has lots of concert scenes.) âThose of us that have been lucky enough to be at a Michael concert, it was fucking chaos,â he said. âYou want to feel that.â

Films and video games have been feeding off one another for years, but rarely are the results as cerebral as Japanese director Genki Kawamura’s Exit 8.
Jaafar Jackson plays the title role in the biopic Michael. The real-life son of Michael Jackson’s older brother, Jermaine, he’s a bit of a ringer for his famous uncle, and he dances with some of the same inexplicable combination of precision and loose-limbed abandon. Assuming that neither his looks nor his moves were computer-enhanced, it’s a remarkable impersonation.
But it’s not the same as the real thing. The oft-repeated point of Michael is that there was never a performer like him and never will be again, and nothing in the movie disproves this. Directed by Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”) from a script by John Logan (“Gladiator”), it’s a chronicle of the King of Pop’s rise: the tiny front man of Gary, Indiana’s The Jackson Five, under the thumb of tyrannical patriarch Joe Jackson (Colman Domingo), into Berry Gordy’s stable at Motown, eventually to Quincy Jones-produced solo mega-stardom in the late ’70s and the ’80s.

Rammed with every music-movie cliche, an almost mute supporting cast and a Michael who only produces endless smiley blandness, this is a frustratingly shallow film
Antoine Fuquaâs demi-biopic of Michael Jackson gives you the chimp, the llama, the giraffe ⦠but not the elephant in the living room. Itâs like a 127-minute trailer montage assembling every music-movie cliche you can think of: the producersâ astonishment in the recording studio, the tour bus, the billboard chart ascent, the meeting with the uncool corporate execs in their offices.
The film skates through Jacksonâs life from the early days of the Jackson Five, terrorised by belt-wielding dad Joe, to his emergence as a stunningly original, globally adored solo act, culminating in the colossal Wembley Stadium concert in 1988, at which stage he was 30-years-old. And there we leave it, with the baffling surtitle flashed up on screen before the end credits roll: âThe story continuesâ. It certainly does. Does this mean a second, darker movie is in the works? Maybe. Producer Graham King and the Jackson family estate are reportedly considering a âMichael 2â; if this happens, they will have to find a very different film-making style, something other than this bland, slick, corporate hagiography. And there is certainly no clear commitment to anything. All concerned might well think itâs best to exit here, and avoid the controversy, like the stage show MJ: The Musical.
“What is the problem with Michael Jackson?” an Iraqi interrogator (played by Saïd Taghmaoui) asks the American captive he’s about to torture in the most affecting scene of David O. Russell’s Three Kings, a dark comedy set during the aftermath of first Gulf War in 1991. “Your country make him chop up his face.”
“That’s bullshit, he did it to himself,” the American (played by Mark Wahlberg) protests, but his interrogator retorts: “Michael Jackson is pop king of sick fucking country … your sick fucking country made the Black man hate himself.”

“Michael” director Antoine Fuqua opened up for the first time about the movie’s dramatic reshoots in a new interview with The New Yorker. As Variety reported ahead of the biopic’s theatrical release, “Michael” was forced to spend up to $15 million on additional photography in order to overhaul the film’s structure.
The original movie started in 1993 with police raiding Michael Jackson‘s Neverland Ranch after he’s accused of sexually abusing 13-year-old Jordan Chandler. The film then flashed back to recount the superstar’s life story and build back up to the allegation and the Chandler family’s lawsuit, which Jackson ultimately settled for $23 million before the investigation was closed when the Chandler family stopped cooperating with prosecutors.

Michael J. Fox is alive and "doing great", despite an unsettling news report that suggested otherwise.
Fans feared the Back to the Future star had died at age 64 after CNN published an online article and tribute video titled "Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox".
The headline caused mass confusion among fans, forcing Fox's team to shut down the death rumours.
"Michael is doing great," the actor's representative told TMZ in a statement, after Fox was spotted at TV and entertainment convention PaleyFest in LA this week.
There have been no reports of Fox's death, and the post and video has been since taken down from CNN's website.

“Boa sorte, meu irmão”, disse Lázaro. Bem-humorado, Moura não perdeu tempo. “Para todos nós! Axé! Vocês também divirtam-se, não fique muito bêbado, não”, respondeu. O comentário fez Ramos rir, que garantiu que manteria a moderação.

Explore the latest developments concerning Michael Caine's £10m.
Hollywood star Michael Caine's former £10m mansion in Oxfordshire has been taken off the open market.
The 92-year-old actor has starred in Battle of Britain, The Italian Job, The Eagle Has Landed, and The Muppets Christmas Carol over the years.
He also famously played Bruce Wayne's trusty butler Alfred Pennyworth in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.
Mr Caine previously owned Rectory Farm House in Church Lane, North Stoke near Wallingford, where he lived with his family from 1984 to 1999.

It was sold by the movie star back in 2020 when it had been listed on the market for £6.95m.
Michael Caine has consistently been recognised for his superior acting in every single one of his films. Even if the movie doesn’t have the most air-tight script, Caine brings a certain level of dignity to his part that can’t be faked by any other actor in the business.
For the majority of his career Caine has, by and large, been a go-to for mimics. His uniquely British tang, alongside the odd quotable outburst, has meant that “I am Michael Caine” continues to be heard in a lovingly mocking tone across the world, and has done for decades. But while his notable voice is one thing, very few can equate the figure of Caine with the world of music.
