Some Lessons From THIS IS IT THE MOVIE

I hadn’t really planned to see This Is IT on Wednesday but Mr. Ihsan gave me a free ticket to watch this movie because I won Michael Jackson Spelling Bee (which you may wonder what it is).  He told us we should watch this movie to give us inspirations about Michael Jackson just in case XI-IPA C is working on drama about him.  So yeah there we went! We got to see This Is It. Oh I missed EF class

It was both incredibly wonderful and incredibly painful to watch.  I was really surprised at how good it was. It impressed me how the director arranged the rehearsals. He allowed MJ to control most of the process. I was very impressed with the manner of Michael Jackson too. In a great scene toward the end, Michael thanks his musicians and dancers for bringing their best, and says, “I love you all.” I also remember Michael Jackson loves saying “I love you” and “God bless you”. It is s a message, message of love.  It shows MJ as he really is, he’s really humble and really dedicated to the fans even though he’s the King of Pop. He wanted everything perfect and that it was, seriously.  Let me tell you first, I’m not such a big fan of Michael Jackson. But this man is truly a true icon, a musical genius, the Moonwalker and great entertainer yet he inspires me and so many people.  So my point is; fan or not, you can view this movie and appreciate his talent and he had it. It was painful to watch though. Why? ‘Cause the whole movie just made me feel so bad for all of the people involved in that concert, because they had been working so hard to do it and they never got to do a show. That really sucks. I think it would have been an incredible show.

I have to say that the performances are remarkable. Musically and visually I was really impressed and came away singing all the songs. The dancing is rewarding. The backup dancers are great in the usual way; they are the best in the world, probably.  I saw the tryouts, and the announcements of the winners. The dancers, guitarist, backing vocalists, director, etc, they are truly extraordinary people. Each time I see them, they are working hard as if their lives depended on it. It encourages me so much that I have to work as hard as those extraordinary people.

Among those incredible scenes in this movie, my favorite parts in the movie are when he is talking about the Earth Song and his concerns with environment. It was so touching I almost cried. You know, in many ways I am truly pursuing my dream to be an environmental scientist. I want to heal the earth and help make it a better place for future somehow to save the earth from what humans have done to this planet. It’s scientifically proven that scientists agree 97 percent humans play a role in global warming. I don’t want those beautiful forests to be ‘once upon a time’. Michael Jackson created an amazing song with lyrically deep and melodically simple. He sent a truly meaningful message from this song that as humans we have to take care and take responsibility about the future of this planet.  It inspires me so much how MJ was truly concerned with the environment.

Makes sense huh?

Okay. So it’s probably Mr. Ihsan’s expectation, XI IPA C should perform a better drama plays after watching This Is It. As a music director, I learned so many things from this movie. The music, the songs, sound effects, all the things, they’re just perfect. I’m working on to be a better music director, I promise. Because I want to be good in every role I play, I want to work professionally even though it’s not my kind of thing. But yeah as a team, I’m doing it for XI IPA C. Say it loud say it proud, GO XI IPA C!!!!!!
