It’s been more than a decade since the King of Pop left the world. But the latest released biopic “Michael” pulling in $217M on opening day, just proves that legends don’t fade away. Michael Jackson made a comeback on cinema screens and fans showed up with their hearts on their sleeves saying it’s the best biopic they’ve ever seen!
Watch the early reaction of Audience
Some fans broke down in tears while others danced in the aisles watching MJ’s nephew Jaafar resurrect his uncle perfectly. Theaters were packed and shows sold out almost instantly proving the biopic was a roaring success.
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!
While the movie’s million dollar business shows a deep interest and love towards MJ’s life. There are a lot of aspects that have been kept hidden.
His biopic doesn’t depict anything about his child abuse allegations, his arrest regarding the case, and his court settlements, when in reality they were a big part of his life.
HIDING THESE DARK MOMENTS OF HIS LIFE FROM THE BIOPIC DID NOT SIT WELL WITH THE AUDIENCE
The case was a crucial part of Michael Jackson’s life, especially towards the end. And the biopic clearly has no narrative about it. Even his own daughter, Paris Jackson speaks about the inaccuracies, outrageous lies and controlled narrative of the movie

THE LAST VERDICT
The movie may have broken opening day records of previously made biopics, but audiences shared mixed feelings about “Michael”. Somewhere between describing his true identity and life experience in contrast to his enormous success in the music industry and being recognized as the world’s most famous pop icon, the truth got lost.
