So. A month ago I purchased tickets to what I thought would be a great movie. My friend Kat and I were counting down the days until October 28, 2009, 7 p.m. And even today before our classes we were acting as though we were happy-go-lucky-four-year-old toddlers. We got to the movie theater an hour early and were greeted by dancing, eager Michael Jackson fans – all anticipating This Is It!
This Is It was more than a movie – it was an experience. I was able to gather with people – such as myself – who react the way that I do towards Michael. I was able to see him in preparation for something that would’ve ROCKED OUR WORLD. I was able to see him for all that he was: funny, warmhearted, unconditional caring for everyone and everything, and immeasurable talent.
I’m not a recommending-movie kind of person, but this is something that I’d recommend for EVERYONE (except for those children scared of THRILLER –i.e. my sister). It’s full of love, life, tears, and laughter (A LOT OF LAUGHTER!). It made me appreciate Michael even more than I did before.
