I lived in a house where we glorified Michael Jackson's talents. He had all the moves and he could sing- and Jesus I thought he was so cute when he was young. As for his personal life, I didn't understand him, and a lot of others didn't. I figured he had pain that we were unable to see where it originated, and with that, I was content. I started looking at all his music videos and movies and I just thought he was so great. I still do. I remember watching this at age 14 or 15 and being terrified because.. he seemed psychotic. Mentally off the hinges. Like he was living in a fantasy world. The character was... crazy. There was a looming darkness about him for a part of the movie that made me afraid and scared of him. Not the molestation thing, but his character and mindset. That was not the person I saw when I looked at anything he ever did. And I refuse to believe that this character was who he was. Honestly, five years later, I remember crying and being afraid to watch the rest of it in fear, that it was true.
