DVD Reviews of Michael Jackson - The Trial and Triumph of the King of Pop
DVD Review: Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
The documentary does feel like a "home video" on the shots of fans outside the courthouse and when the producer plain talks into the camera with a mike in her hand.
HOWEVER, I will say that these "home videos" provide a sincere and positive tone, and unique footage that I would otherwise perhaps never have had the chance to see. The intent of the documentary -to bring to light some of the -perhaps deliberately- ignored facts in favor of Michael Jackson during the child abuse allegations - also make up for any shortcomings.
Also on the positive side, the documentary answers some rumors around the case (such as if/how/why the 1993 Chandler case was settled with money), as well as providing facts on the case that had not been mainstreamed.
And, uniquely, it presents two individuals who have each authored a book (pro-Jackson) on the case. And, I give the documentary a thumbs up for tracking these people down and bringing them to attention, especially since they were originally on the other side of the case.
An interesting moment is when one of the above mentioned authors says that she had to "self-publish" because she couldn't find any publishers willing to publish something positive on Michael Jackson. I have purchased these books through amazon.com and am curious to see what they look like.
The documentary also provides an interview with the Tom Messereau, the lead attorney of the defence. It also has an interview in the end with Jermaine Jackson, and let me learn of a "Heal the World" type of organisation in which he was involved.
At the end, it provides up to date info on Michael Jackson's uncovered/ignored activities over the past few years, and also has the coverage of Michael Jackson's press conference for the "This is It" tour. It was sad indeed to watch, but a good feature of the DVD.
Overall, I will give it a positive rating for going out and providing a positive, unique coverage on Michael Jackson, something that was long due, had been sadly missing.
Only after his death have the media begun to ease on Michael Jackson. Note that this documentary was shot BEFORE his passing away... So, unlike the abusive junk the media threw at the public against Michael Jackson, this documentary was shot in support of him DURING his time alive.
I do recommend it. Filming quality could have been better in some parts, HOWEVER, it does provide an insider look into "the other," ignored side of the case, and I'm very glad to have seen it.
