Today the much awaited movie, Michael Jackson: THIS IS IT was released in the theaters of 99 countries all over the world.
Of course I tried to squeeze in time to watch it before I leave for Bicol even if I was alone. I'm used to watching movies alone anyway. hehe So I was there at the mall around 12:20 pm. Just enough time to grab a ticket. The movie starts at 12:45.
What's new though was the SUPER STRICT guards waiting there with the theater attendants. When I entered the theater, the attendant took my ticket, and the two guards scoured my bag (including the zipped pockets inside!) for cameras, PSPs and whatever gadget that can be used to record or take photos of the film. Well I didn't really mind coz they were very nice. And the MJ film will only be released for two weeks (with no assurance if they will release an original DVD). So the temptation of producing pirated copies is really really strong.
Inside, only the upper seats (deluxe) were allowed to be occupied. When the movie started, there were people squealing in excitement to a point that it was irritating. A lady even said "QUIET PLEASE" aloud because really, it's not like the theater is theirs.
As we watched the movie, three more guards entered the theater and stood in the aisles. From time to time they'd walk through the aisles to check if anyone's recording anything. Really strict haha
Anyhooo, about the film. No, I won't post spoilers because there isn't any story to spoil really. I was pretty emotional to a point that I really really blamed MJ's physician. (Coz diba his death was diagnosed as an overdose.) If that concert happened, it would have been the greatest concert evaaaar.
Intrigues aside, MJ is a great great artist. I don't think anyone can surpass his contributions to the music industry. And he is soooo full of love. He spreads love through his music and his dance. The very same thing he tells his dancers and the people he works with. Spread the love, he says.
The best take away line for me was EVERYDAY, MAKE HISTORY.
I know he did.
