It's hard to compress a lifetime into a few hours.

And this is what the movie hoped to achieve: capture the whole life journey of the legend into a few hours.

Hence it was fast paced. A few missing pieces that leaves you desiring to know more about Michael Jackson.

You do will not see his development properly. The character development was mostly empty.

One aspect I would have loved to see is his relationship. As a star Micheal probably have more female admirers than anyone else.

How did he deal with those fans? We saw very little except for a girl, who was not actually his girlfriend.

Also you'll almost learn nothing new from the movie about Michael Jackson. Which begs the question, why create a biopic at all?

But something that really stood out to me most is the portrayal of Micheal Jackson's father.

He played a very central role in the movie and no doubt in Micheal Jackson's life and career.

And so I really do not understand why they tried to paint him as this cold and almost devilish figure.

At some point, his father figure role was almost designed to make you hate him and only love the mother.

But I don't think he is the villain of this story but instead a hero.

He was a mere factory worker and wanted his children to end up better than him.

"if you do not work hard, there's every guarantee that you'll end up right here in this small town as a factory worker. Now would you want that?"

He pushed the kids to be good at something. Not many fathers can see their kids and see the future ahead.

More so, actually push them to fly when the odds are stacked against them.

How a steel factory worker trained 5 boys to become the greatest music bands ever showed someone who deeply cared about his children more than a strict and wicked father.

Of course he could have pampered them like the mother and let them go to school, then join one of the boys in the hood and become nothing.

And it's so sad that towards the end of the movie, they try to portray him as the villain when everyone suddenly turned on him simply because they are now rich.

I mean, he built everything from the ground up. Mr Jackson not only gave the world micheal Jackson, he did the job of moulding him, shaping him up and developing his talent.

And worst still, every night when other fathers are too tired from work, he gathers the boys to practice.

That's not hate. That's tough love.

Another thing I love is the young man who played micheal Jackson. While you can clearly see the mimics in his moves, I think he did very well.

Overall, I think it's a good movie, worth watching but you'll learn nothing new from it.

And that's another angle, it tells you nothing new about the legend.

As a biopic we expect to see the legend in a different light, see aspects of his journey probably gathered from family members and close associates.

But the movie is more or less based on publicly available info. It's like watching what you already know.

There's absolutely nothing to learn new from the movie if you already read a few articles about the singer before.

Much time was spent rather on the making of his music videos such as thriller, beat it and wanna be Startin something.

In this regard, the movie actually lack substance.

There are so many direction this could have gone. I wonder why the dynamic between his father becomes the central role of the movie.

I'm not buying it that his father is bad or terrible.

Any human will be happy to have such a father who not only see them as other kids but as stars.

But not only see them as stars. That's the easier part and every father and mother think their kids are special.

But how many actually take the extra step to put that belief into work? How many fathers today will buy music instruments from their "factory" labor salary, come back from work and make their kids practice even when tired and exhausted?

How many will take their kids around town to book them for gigs, stay up while they play and look for ways to improve them?

Yes, he did beat them. But beating is not killing them. Little discipline goes a long way.

And I think this is a central role to almost any great person in history.

Serena Williams father was also strict with his children in their biopic. And like Micheal Jackson's father, he took his girls to practice regularly even when they don't want to.

He book their games as well finding as many opportunities for them as he could so they can shine.

Sorry Hollywood, but I'm not buying the idea that Jackson was a terrible father to his kids.

sir. If you don’t watch after 1month. Make we hear word. You get mind type all this. Smh

Docile youths.

When will Africa wake up. World Cup isn’t a big deal.

It may be 400 at start and in 5 years maybe 1000. You can make sth. But if na for dividends, you need invest up to 100m to see sth tangible

MrUnitedstatesA:
I can never leave a country as sweet as South Africa because of these useless protesters who are looking for political jobs . They want their government to settle them with nice job to shut up. After a few weeks the noise will die down and we will be back to dominating and taking over this country like the true fearless Igbos we are. You want us to go back to a worthless Tinubu empty country that offers us nothing and discriminate worse against us Igbos than foreigners

SA sweet?

Omo.

Anyways. No wahala.

Nothing compares to naija.
If I tire I enter gh, Addis, or I go foreign.

Then come back to naija.
Home is home.

This is one bitter truth you should always remind yourself of as an employee. It is even worse for people who work in organisations owned by one person or a particular family.

Your employer will never pay you what will make you have enough resources to live a comfortable life.

REASONS:
1. You will be in a better position to walk out of situations that you don't like in the workplace.

2. You will be in a better position to resign and start your own business.

Most Nigerian employers are just like the government. They give you just what is enough for you to survive, and not to succeed.

As an employer, you should realize that the people working for you also have their personal dreams and visions. Your business is your vision, and not theirs. So as they work for you to build your vision, the job should as give them the platform to build theirs. If your vision is being built, and theirs remain unachievable, then there is something wrong with you and your business system.

Last week, I attended a webinar where one of the so-called Nigerian industry giants was admonishing workers to be dedicated and put in their best. I didn't have any issue with that, but when he concluded by saying that salary doesn't matter, that what matters is passion and dedication, I shook my head. We have really lost it! You fly first class to different parts of the world. You buy choice properties. Your kids attend some of the best schools abroad. All from the proceeds of your business, and you open your mouth to tell me that salary doesn't matter?

Resign and start your business?

The truth is that Dangote is richer than all these Americans!
They just use their currency evaluate everything.

Most of them don’t even have businesses to the capacity of Dangotes own

They are a failure.

As you make your bed So you will lay on it.


The Nigerian Military encouraged and enabled banditry based on this uslesless religion.

If you have what it takes, a man will stay with you.
