Welcome đ Bienvenidos

! [Spanish Version]
Michael - La Ășltima pelĂcula del rey del PopTenĂa unas ganas tremendas de ver Michael, la Ășltima pelĂcula sobre la vida de Michael Jackson que ha dado mucho de quĂ© hablar en los medios y que supe por las redes sociales que algunos de mis amigos la vieron en el cine. Yo querĂa verla aunque sea en la casa y la vi sĂ; sin saber que era el estreno del que todos hablan đ, asĂ de despistada soy. Resulta que un domingo por la noche me saliĂł en la pantalla de la TV, pensĂ© que era una de las tantas pelĂculas que se han hecho sobre Ă©l, pero que yo no he visto ninguna y deberĂa darme pena decir eso, considerando que soy una aficionada al cine.
Bueno el caso es que al terminar de ver la pelĂcula, mi hermano pasĂł por la sala y me dijo ya viste la nueva pelĂcula de Michael Jackson y yo desconcertada lo neguĂ©, pero Ă©l me señalĂł la pelĂcula y me comprobĂł que sĂ. đ. Entonces me dio un mal sabor de boca y decidĂ verla una segunda vez con otros ojos para poder hacer una reseña. Ahora sĂ vamos a ella.
Sinopsis
Presenta a Michael desde sus inicios, cuando era un niño y apenas se formaba la agrupación los Jackson Five conformada por todos los hermanos bajo la dirección de su padre hasta convertirse en la estrella que soñaba ser, también muestran los matices de su personalidad y los momentos dolorosos y mås importantes que vivió.
Me gusta cuando en las pelĂculas biogrĂĄficas inician contando la infancia de los personajes, porque los primeros años son fundamentales y en Michael una buena parte de la pelĂcula fue enfocada en toda su niñez, en esta parte se puede ver cĂłmo era la disciplina del hogar, lo estricto que era su padre y como lo castigaba sino cumplĂa las Ăłrdenes, creo que por ser el menor tuvo que esforzarse mĂĄs. En esta Ă©poca el malo era el padre, pero sabemos que el Ă©xito de muchos artistas se debe precisamente a sus padres, pero no todo era negativo el padre de Michael tambiĂ©n lo dejaba expresar su talento como quisiera, bailando, cantando que para Ă©l era su mayor diversiĂłn.
Solo hay dos actores que interpretan a Michael, Juliano Valdi que hace de niño quiĂ©n lo hace de manera magistral y Jaafar Jackson quien le corresponde actuar como el Michael adulto y que fue una sorpresa para el pĂșblico porque es su sobrino en la vida real, quien contĂł en entrevistas que se preparĂł mucho para poder bailar y copiar los gestos de su tĂo.
En la fase de Michael adulto podemos ver que su personalidad era como siempre la vendieron en los medios, un hombre con un vacĂo interno por no haber vivido una infancia normal, afligido e infantil que intentĂł llenar ese hueco con animales exĂłticos y muchas cirugĂas faciales especĂficamente en su nariz, tambiĂ©n muestran su problema de salud con el vitiligo.
En cuanto a su pasiĂłn por la mĂșsica y todo el talento que este hombre tenĂa mostraron en la pelĂcula como era su proceso creativo, esta fue una de mis partes favoritas ver como se supone era capaz de crear obras maestras Ă©xitos en ventas y mĂĄs. Entre tantas obras exitosas que tuvo se enfocaron mĂĄs en su disco thriller. Yo no sabĂa que Michael estaba detrĂĄs de cada detalle de sus canciones, era un mago, trabajaba en las composiciones de letras, mĂșsica, coreografĂas, vestuario, direcciĂłn de video, absolutamente todo. Fue uno de los primeros en pensar que las canciones eran historias que podĂan transmitirse en videos como si fueran pelĂculas.
Desde el principio me sentĂ en una Ă©poca antigua, el vestuario, maquillaje y el ambiente. Como dato curioso pensĂ© que la producciĂłn no habĂa sido tan costosa y no sĂ© porque creĂ eso, pero me equivoquĂ© resulta que la producciĂłn fue superior a los $155 millones que era el presupuesto inicial estimado y terminĂł costando cerca de $200 millones. Todo esto debido a los costos de los derechos musicales aunque no cantaron mucho, no en la fase del Michael adulto.
Es una buena pelĂcula sobre este artista, muestra su lado mĂĄs personal y me hubiese gustado que la historia avanzara mĂĄs en su vida, tal vez lo hagan en una segunda parte. Es buena y me motivĂł a ver otras pelĂculas de Michael Jackson que verĂ© en el futuro.
I was really looking forward to seeing Michael, the latest movie about Michael Jackson's life that's been the talk of the media, and I found out on social media that some of my friends had seen it in theaters. I wanted to watch it, even if it was just at home, and I didâwithout realizing it was the premiere everyoneâs been talking about đ; thatâs just how clueless I am. It turns out that one Sunday night it popped up on my TV screen. I thought it was one of the many movies that have been made about him, but I havenât seen any of themâand I should be ashamed to admit that, considering Iâm a movie buff.
Anyway, after I finished watching the movie, my brother walked by the living room and asked, âDid you see the new Michael Jackson movie?â I was taken aback and said no, but he pointed to the movie and proved I had. đ. That left a bad taste in my mouth, so I decided to watch it a second time with a fresh perspective so I could write a review. Now letâs get to it.

Synopsis
It follows Michael from his early daysâwhen he was a child and the Jackson 5, made up of all his siblings and led by their father, was just formingâall the way to becoming the star he dreamed of being. It also explores the nuances of his personality and the painful and most significant moments he experienced.
I like it when biographical films start by telling the story of the charactersâ childhoods, because those early years are crucial. In Michael, a good portion of the film focused on his entire childhood. In this part, you can see what discipline was like at home, how strict his father was, and how he punished him if he didnât follow orders. I think that, as the youngest, he had to work harder. Back then, the father was portrayed as the villain, but we know that many artists owe their success precisely to their parents. However, it wasnât all negativeâMichaelâs father also let him express his talent however he wanted, whether through dancing or singing, which was his greatest joy.
There are only two actors who portray Michael: Juliano Valdi, who plays the childâand does so masterfullyâand Jaafar Jackson, who plays the adult Michael. This came as a surprise to the audience because he is Michaelâs nephew in real life; he has said in interviews that he prepared extensively to be able to dance and mimic his uncleâs mannerisms.
In the adult Michael phase, we see that his personality was just as the media always portrayed him: a man with an inner void from not having had a normal childhoodâdistressed and childlikeâwho tried to fill that void with exotic animals and numerous facial surgeries, specifically on his nose. The film also depicts his health issue with vitiligo.

As for his passion for music and all the talent this man possessed, the film showed his creative processâthis was one of my favorite parts, seeing how he was supposedly able to create best-selling masterpieces and more. Among his many successful works, the film focused most on his Thriller album. I didnât know that Michael was behind every detail of his songsâhe was a magician, working on the lyrics, music, choreography, costumes, and music video directionâabsolutely everything. He was one of the first to realize that songs were stories that could be conveyed in music videos as if they were movies.

From the very beginning, I felt transported to a bygone eraâthe costumes, the makeup, and the atmosphere. As a fun fact, I thought the production hadnât been that expensive, and I donât know why I believed that, but I was wrongâit turns out the production cost exceeded the initial estimated budget of $155 million and ended up costing close to $200 million. All of this was due to the costs of the music rights, even though they didnât sing muchâat least not during the adult Michael phase.
Itâs a good movie about this artist; it shows his more personal side, and I would have liked the story to delve deeper into his lifeâmaybe theyâll do that in a sequel. Itâs a good movie, and it inspired me to watch other Michael Jackson movies in the future.

Yo todavĂa no la veo, pero si conozco en parte todo el drama que viviĂł desde chico y en cĂłmo esos traumas moldearon al personaje que todos veĂamos, y del cual muchos quisieron sacar provecho.
