Cast: Micheal Jackson and his Dancers and crew.
Director: Kenny Ortega.



As if MJ’s reality had really sunk in, here is Kenny Ortega bringing him to life again. His presence more vivid than ever, is like he is next to you in the cinema hall, an aura that radiates even off the screen! ‘You were a legend, MJ’, I am not reminding anyone… it’s a prayer.

But you were wrong that one time… when you said that ‘This is it’ would be your curtain call. There Are No curtain calls for ‘Kings’, MJ. And certainly, not for the ‘One of a kind’ that you were and always will be!

So ‘This is it’ is just another honour bestowed upon this miraculous man.

It’s not a documentary based on his life, but an account of his most recent dream. It’s a string of live shows in the London Arena that were to take place beginning July. It’s been compiled from footage of his stage rehearsals for the show, which was meant just for his personal library.

Tears form in your eyes from the very first moment, as the documentary begins with excerpts from dancers who were auditioning for his show, they talk about what Micheal means to them and just how much his work affected who they are and what they strive to be. As an audience, it’s an overwhelming moment because you realize just what one person is capable of, just what Micheal has done!

This is followed by the auditions, where amongst thousands; just 11 principal dancers are selected.
And then it begins.

You witness what goes behind creating the most awaited concert in the history of Pop music! MJ, 50 years old, on stage with dancers half his age, performing effortlessly and singing all his popular songs… Thriller, Billy Jean, Black and White, Don’t Care About Us, Smooth Criminal, Make Me Feel… ALL OF THEM. Kenny provides his own inputs as the show progresses with the making of his new videos (His trademark use of special effects), and routines. The magnanimous sets… it all comes to life. The Music, the Dance, the Spectacle!

‘This is it’ is the closest you can get to MJ, and not just to his talent, but also to Micheal, the person. It reflects just who he was and what he had created for himself. How he did what he did, his obsession for perfection, how well he understood music, and performances, and his message for the world: Love, Peace, Nature.

It’s no ordinary movie; it can be your life-inspiring experience. Don’t let it go. The movie stays in theatres only for two weeks.
