Michael Jackson’s rise to stardom
‘Michael’ follows the life and career of singer, songwriter, dancer, and philanthropist Michael Jackson. The story traces his rise from his early days with the Jackson 5 during the 1960s to the beginning of his solo music career.Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film presents a detailed look into Michael Jackson’s evolution as a performer and entertainer.Apart from Jaafar Jackson, the cast also includes Colman Domingo, Nia Long, Laura Harrier, KeiLyn Durrel Jones, Miles Teller, and several others in important roles.ETimes shared a mixed review of the film while praising Jaafar Jackson’s portrayal of the pop legend. The review noted, “One may argue that a biopic must not be a voyeuristic look at the personal life but be a celebration of the artist’s art. The film feels wanting in that aspect as well. It recreates the spectacle but superficially touches upon Michael’s innovativeness in music writing.The film’s highlight is undoubtedly its lead and MJ’s nephew (his brother and band’s bassist Jermaine’s son), Jaafar Jackson. From the dance moves and the moonwalk to his gait, voice, smile, and expressions, everything is pitch-perfect. Equally impressive is Juliano Valdi, who plays a young Michael and gets the nuances right. Colman Domingo as the belt-brandishing, ruthless father deserves mention.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
