Michael Jackson: Thank You for the Music The Final Word – DVD Review

Michael Jackson: Thank You for the Music The Final Word is a 2-disc set that contains video and audio recordings. As noted on the disc, though there is little left unsaid about Michael Jackson, it is his music and memories that we are now left with.

Rating:

So after the media frenzy in which every microsecond of his tragically short life has been put under the microscope, every controversy and indiscretion has been magnified to extremes and every word he ever uttered in public has been repeated again and again, this set celebrates the life, work and legacy left by MJ.

This film celebrates the joyous and timeless music of Michael from his first recordings with the Jackson 5 through hit after hit from the seventies, the eighties and the nineties, right up to his most recent cuts and in so doing tells the story of a true pop genius. With a mixture of already seen videos, interviews and concert footage, other more rare footage is seen. Interviews with friends, those who have worked closely with him and industry broadcasters and writers, plus location shoots, news clips and a host of other features all set to a backdrop of Michael Jackson music.

The images are rich and familiar and the film never lets us forget his impact on music and culture while it analyzes his flaws, stages and reactions. It is an unbiased and sometime critical view at MJ but provides enough material and respect to make even the most devoted fan satisfied.

The audio disc offers interviews with Oprah, Dianne Sawyer and Lisa Maria and MJ talking about life, love, creativity, fears and friendship.
