It is important to note here that this film contains almost constant reaction shots of the townspeople. He reveals his true face, and everyone is relieved. He is wearing a death mask, and everyone jumps in shock. The film transitions into color when MJ appears. The first ten minutes is mostly dialog to establish the roles of the characters – innocent boys, an authority figure with a grudge, and mothers/townspeople who are going along with it all. They are stand-ins for MJ’s special friends, adamant that he has not hurt anybody (because MJ would “never hurt a child”) and scolding his accuser for not staying quiet. The young boys are defending MJ, the older boy is scolding the younger one for not keeping his mouth shut. Younger boy: Why don’t we just leave him alone? He hasn’t hurt anybody. The conversation at the gate is particularly revealing: The townspeople in the mob are reluctant to enter, but the sole authority figure, the Mayor (also played by MJ in prosthetics) is determined to get to the Maestro. MJ’s mansion has a sign at the front saying SOMEPLACE ELSE, ushering us into a place beyond ordinary – the realm of the extraordinary. The film opens with a sign saying, “Normal Valley – a place for NICE REGULAR PEOPLE” It looks like a typical black and white 1950s B-movie horror - an angry mob with torches stalks through the spooky landscape. The film is notable for its cutting-edge CG and prosthetics. The story and the portrayal of MJ’s “Maestro” character gives us an insight into how he felt about the 1993 allegations and how he wanted to be seen by the world. It was co-written by MJ, Stephen King, and Mick Garris. The Ghosts song featured in the film was included in the History/Ghosts maxi-single. I would like to focus on Michael Jackson’s Ghosts, a short film from 1996 that was released ahead of the HIStory album. You can also watch on the HBO website or HBO GO.Leaving Neverland has made many of us reassess MJ’s artistic output. They will be available On Demand beginning March 4. Leaving Neverland Part 1 and Part 2 will be available to stream on March 3. Here’s everything you need to know to watch Leaving Neverland: He appeared on her talk show numerous times and she also delivered hard-hitting interviews with the musician following his legal battles. Winfrey, of course, is no stranger to Michael Jackson’s life. Winfrey meets with both Robson and Safechuck to discuss the documentary and their experience with Jackson. Oprah Winfrey’s special After Neverland will air immediately following Leaving Neverland Part 2 on March 4. Warning: This film contains explicit descriptions of sexual abuse that may be disturbing to viewers. Through gut-wrenching interviews with two of the accusers, now in their 30s, as well as their mothers, wives and siblings, “Leaving Neverland” crafts a portrait of sustained abuse, and explores the complicated feelings that led both men to confront their experiences after each had a young son of his own. This film explores the experiences of two young boys who were both befriended by Jackson. When allegations of abuse by Michael Jackson involving young boys surfaced in 1993, many found it hard to believe that he could be guilty of such unspeakable acts. Here is the synopsis for Leaving Neverland: James Safechuck and Wade Robson both spent years in the company of Jackson, and now they’re telling their stories about what happened. Leaving Neverland tells the story of two men who allege Jackson abused them when they were children. Michael Jackson has always had a complex personal life that has been highlighted in varying degrees over the years through interviews, trials, reports and accusations. HBO presents Leaving Neverland, the story of two young boys and their experience as children with Michael Jackson. By Sarabeth Pollock 2 years ago Follow Tweet
