The new movie Michael has been attracting plenty of controversy, mainly because of its controversial main character. The movie directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson as Michael Jackson shows lots of the late King of Pop’s successful and creative sides, including his numerous concerts and fame as a global superstar.

According to the scenes in the movie’s trailer, it seems that Jackson managed to turn from an extremely talented boy of The Jackson 5 to one of the most influential artists in the history of performing arts. The trailer includes several memorable moments from concerts, innovative dancing performances, and interactions with family members. It can be concluded that all the fans of Jackson will love the movie for paying homage to their idol.

Nevertheless, it looks like some moviegoers find the portrayal of the late star a bit too limited.

“It does not seem like an honest biography,” claimed film lover Angela Morris.

Music lover Camila Plehn also commented, “Every movie dedicated to Michael Jackson should include his greatest successes as well as his troubles.”

For decades, there were claims that Michael Jackson used to abuse children. Even though he successfully proved his innocence in 2005, rumors continued to haunt him. According to the opponents, this is a sign that the movie lacks objectivity.

Some people support the choice made by the filmmakers to concentrate on the work of Jackson rather than his scandals.

“It was about his legacy,” commented junior Federico Rojas, an entertainment columnist. “He changed pop music and performances.”

This discussion regarding the film is a reflection of the discussion in Hollywood concerning its approach to creating biographies of controversial personalities. Some viewers consider that a biographical movie should represent the whole life of the subject, while others think that filmmakers should have the right to choose which aspect of their life to present.

Despite not being released yet, the film has already received massive attention from the media and fans, becoming one of the biggest movie sensations of the year.
