I didn't read everything but according to the movie, micheal did the nose because he wanted to.

Not because of his father or anything.

And this is very common. A lot of people once the hit the spotlight, they want to be "perfect" and they start modifying their body parts.

It doesn't mean the parents are bad.

dauntless15:
What i noticed about his father is different though, yes he was a hardworking, ambitious, doting father, but he's the central figure in Michael's demise, most of the insecurities Micheal has stems from him, first he made him alter his nose/appearance so many times by bullying the way he looks (big nose as he calls him often) this is why Micheal is obsessed with having a pointed nose, he never lets him be a child or have a childhood, hence his obsession with children and playtime this is why he built Neverland ranch and got so close to children leading to his child molestation accusations, he forces Michael to do things and made sure he doesn't make decisions on his own as an adult, which is why he lost his strong will and ability to say no to people, he did the Pepsi commercial that burnt his hair and made him a junkie because he couldn't say no to joseph his father, and without that burn he wouldn't be addicted to pain meds and he'd still be alive, he had no friends growing up so he surrounded himself with animals and toys, and this followed him to adulthood making him an extremely shy and misunderstood person who often craves connection, most of the things that went wrong in his life is because of his controlling and abusive father, the only thing wrong with the movie is the fact that they didn't exploit his love life, i grew up thinking he's attracted to men, this was because of several rumors, I didn't know he had kids and liked girls, alot of people thought so too, the movie should've cleared that, and the story of how he passed.

You can donate up to 6 times a year. There should be 12weeks interval between each donation to allow your body recover. Yesterday was blood day of the year. Donate to save a life

Sonofgod1990:
Please how many times can person donate blood per year

It's crazy bro.

I think this all began as court session. You know trying to brand MJ as a kid whose childhood was stolen from him.

Reason why he likes having kids around him and stuff.

Well, who stole the childhood.? They needed a villain to blame, so his father became a sacrificial lamb.

Basic123:
Western media is crazy!

Till today,I still dont understand how JOE ended up being branded as bad wicked father.


TO ME,HE IS AN HERO THAT SUPPOSED TO BE CELEBRATED

When you watch it you'll understand. The spent almost the entire movie trying to paint his father black.

Bia OP, was the movie about Michael Jackson or his father?

You spent the whole month writing about the father, when the movie was meant to be centred around the son - Michael.

I should go read reviews on Rotten Tomatoes or at YTS forum.

Because your opinion has never mattered in anything doesn't mean the same thing for everyone.

I'm so important they made a movie for me to watch.

My opinion mattered because you and a thousand others just read it and are responding to it.

It's not my fault if you have been so low to think that anything handed to you, you must receive it without countering it or offering your opinion.

I was not brought up that way and I don't live that way. If you want to treated like a dog all your life being put on a leash and handed crumbs that falls from the table because you think you don't matter, that's all on you.

But never make the mistake of thinking we are all in the same group of people who don't matter and should accept whatever is handed to them.

RISQUE:
Your opinion doesn't count at all. Focus on your own family. Una go dey online dey review wetin una no know. If they said he was a bad father, who are you to counter that? You can never know whether a man was a good father or not until you were raised under the parental control of such a man.

I've seen a lot of discussion on this topic and even recently, it was on the front page.

I'm here to tell you that you cannot separate love from sex.

There are different types of love. The one you have for your friend, families and also the one you have for objects like cars or even the one you have for your God/Allah.

But when it comes to the love you have for your partner, it's purely a "lustful" kind of love.

There's nothing "pure" in that kind of love as most people often imagine. In fact, the love between a man and a woman was never meant to be "pure".

It is one that is and should be fueled by lust. Yes, the worst kind of lust you can think of should fuel such love.

When as a man you approach a total stranger to toast her, you're not doing so because you think she's a wonderful person.

Or because you felt that out of the whole women in the world, she possesses something unique.

No. You approach her because she creates a tug on your boxer. Or better still, she appeals to you in a way that you know/think that if you sleep with her, you'll be happy.

Love starts with lust. Lust is the very beginning of love.

This is why relationships are strongest when they start. Because lust is high and on overdrive.

It's later on you get the lust under and start making conscious efforts to tolerate the person.

I'm saying this especially to guys that easily get deceived. You meet a lady and she's telling you to love her without touching her.

She never try to get sexual with you. She never tries to kiss you, romance you or do anything with you.

Yet, you're planning marriage with her believing she wants to be pure, my guy, you go see shege o.

I'm not saying you must get sex from the lady. Yes some ladies want to be celibate till marriage.

But there should be palpable sexual tension between you guys. One that makes her run away from you and you're aware that she's running because she can no longer resist you.

Not the one you're wondering whether she likes you or not. Or feeling like she's so strong she can resist you.

Everytime you are the one initiating physical contacts. You're the one trying to kiss her or hold her hands.

She never picks a part of your body and admires it or try to touch your body to caress it.

Yet, you dey můmů dey think say she loves you or she's religious or innocent

My brother she no love you like that o.

Be warned.

Man. Marriage. Man. Marriage.

Na the only topic wey Nigerian girl fit discuss be that

All these ones na grammar.

Tell any babe you want to take her on a date and then ask her what she expects in a date, if it's not free food

Oyindamolah:
I think you're looking at dating purely from a cost-benefit perspective, and that's where the disagreement comes from.

A date is not necessarily about food. The food is often just an activity that creates a relaxed environment for conversation. People eat together because it's a social experience, not because they're negotiating a contract.

That said, I actually agree that not every first meeting needs to be at an expensive restaurant. A walk in a park, a coffee shop, a museum, or even a simple conversation in a public place can be just as effective for getting to know someone.

Where I disagree is the assumption that a woman who accepts a meal is automatically looking for "free food." Most adults can afford to feed themselves. The value of a date is usually the company, not the plate of rice or pasta.

The bigger issue is compatibility. If you're someone who prefers low-cost, simple first meetings, there's nothing wrong with that. Be upfront about it. The right person won't have a problem with it.

Likewise, if someone prefers dinner dates, that's their preference too.

The mistake is assuming that everyone who enjoys a traditional date is trying to exploit someone. Sometimes two people are simply meeting to see if there's a connection. If there isn't, both parties move on.

Not every unsuccessful date is a scam. Sometimes it's just two people discovering they're not a match—and that's exactly what dating is supposed to help you figure out.

So why would I be paying you to submit to me?

Secondly, if you start working and you don't need a man, then go work so you don't need a man. Why should that bother me?

So, I'll work hard, provide for myself, then provide for you? Then in the end I get your submission?

If your submission is that important carry it to the bank and deposit there

Samantha125:
As a man, you can't expect a woman's duty to submit to you while you don't want to provide for her.

The moment I start using my hands then I'll no longer be needing a man in my life, as I'll be providing for myself.

That's where your hands come in. Man is not a job

Samantha125:
You can't expect my father to offer me financial support when I have a man in my life when he also has my mother to worry about.

You go first take am play until you lose your source of income

saintboogie:
"My money is our money, your money is your money"

I keep saying this. Nigerian men are bending and breaking their backs for women who will not give them a drop of water when they are dying of thirst.

It'll look like love. My brother it's not love. These girls are not capable of loving you as you love them.

They love intentional men. What they love is the "intention" not the "men".

Be wise o. You dey spend money dem go love you. Even men dey love men wey get money.

That's where your father is supposed to come in

Samantha125:
Of course we get hungry when we see you guys, because we want to see how well you can provide for us...😌😌😌

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.

And if you enter that prison eh. Hmmm. Even God go need do extra miracle to see you outside

Dshocker:
You think you are in Europe, call which emergency or ambulance? 😂

Oga once a girl dies in your house, and you are a poor man, even if their is evidence you didn't kill the girl, you are going to prison, unless you have money to settle the case, Nigeria is a dangerous place and one of the 8th wonders of the world.

No forget say here no be America. American police will come to your house to conduct investigation, do autopsy and only arrest you when there's sufficient evidence that you are involved in a foul play.

Nigerian police will first lock you up. Cripple every means of getting you out.

You'll be there for years. Lose contact with the outside world and worst, you can't contact anyone to help you.

Naso you go dey prison for 1 year, 2 years and before you blink, you don do 30 years for cell without any head way.

Use your head o.

E go first be like love but check am well well na hungry greedy girl wey dey disguise

Samantha125:
As women, it's our duty to be entitled to your money the same way it's your duty to be entitled to our submission... You provide and we submit...🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️

Like why must we be eating when we are discussing about whether or not we should mate?

And then that responsibility falls on one person only to pay for the meals.

If hunger dey do you, beg for food. No dey use style go chop free food.

We can discuss about relationship while sitting in a park or walking or working or sitting in my room.

Some of una no get sense. This kain setting you no fit find me at all.

South Africans are a disgrace to the continents. A shît stain on the underwear of Africa.

Now imagine the tailor smiling to the bank because she got the contract

shox:
Only god sabi how many ankara this woman go get

So because I get prick you no go help me

Sonofgod1990:
I could have loved to help this lady with 1 million naira. How can I get her please

Na to buy one chilled drink step am down o. Me no go get time dey look meat dey cook o

There's nothing in this world that justify selling your child.

But let's be sincere, is it better she sells the kid to someone who sincerely wants the baby if she cannot raise the child herself?

It's not true that women get more hørny close to menopause. It's false. Why?

They have less estrogen. Estrogen is what keeps the vaginal moist.

So if you're approaching menopause, your vaginal gets drier, so penetration becomes harder and painful for them.

Their sex drive reduces, their bones becomes more brittle and breaks easily.

Menopause is most times a nightmare.

ChizzyBuna:
The idea of an older woman who still looks good in menopause. It means I go knack her wetin no good she no go get belle
Also I'm hearing that women get more honry as the reach menopause. Is it true?

I used to blame Chike
But now I fully understand him

@Mattswaggz and @SAMBARRY

Una two still dey here dey argue?

Also as you pray for God to provide for you, also pray that you dont forget him after he provides for you.

So what if the abroad was the answer to his prayers?

These people assume they are the best or know the right way just because they are paying school fees.

How do you let your child come from home with dirty nails and that is not a cause of concern.

But we must beat the teacher who trimmed the nails?

Chris225:
Pound of flesh crap

What if the teacher is the one that actually beat the hell out of u in front of ur kids 😏
No one has monopoly of violence you know

If you have problem with how ur child is treated
You can take it up
Get it investigated
Use evidence to legally deal with the culprit

If you take good care of your child and teach them well, you won't have these issues you're talking about.

The rest are just your paranoia. Kids eat each other's food in school far more than you can imagine.

And more importantly, they are classmate and supposed to be there for one another.

So, if they can't eat their birthday cake, maybe we should make rules so no one celebrates birthdays in school?

And more importantly, the kids cannot attend each other's birthday if they met in school.

Why even stop there, why can't we make rules so the kids don't even talk to each other?

Y'all take your individual paranoia and try to make it into laws for people to live by. It's nonsensical at this point.

These are humans. Not robots. I've seen children who will come to school and can't even eat the "sweet" foods you parents prep for them.

You as a teacher will sometimes remove from your pocket to help them.

There are too many variables in life, let's learn to be more flexible and stop allowing paranoia take over our humanity.

RockyEyo:
I have one question please...
Do you have a child?
May no body, teacher or whoever not try this with my children..... what happened to communication journal?
See in the days we are in even when they celebrate birthdays you as the teacher or caregiver must never allow the children eat what was given, they are made to take it home so the parents can decide what to do with it..... u now dey talk of hair? So if the boys clothes was dirty the teacher would also wash it and polish his shoes ?
Nonsense.... I sent my kids to school not the barbers shop and guess what, I know the difference
