Smooth Criminal is a masterpiece

[@scorpioenergy8514]

Absolutely! everything about it.

[@kdogg716]

@@scorpioenergy8514 agreed. My favorite MJ video of all time

[@scorpioenergy8514]

K DOGG me too!

[@jimthescotsman]

Its Michaels Jackson s favourite piece also. Even although hes gone , that was and is his fav work.

[@Andromaca1981]

it's the best video ever

[@queenforever3770]

Michael Jackson is and will be the biggest workaholic in the entertainment industry. Because his work ethic was work of a pure and unsurmountable genius

[@Caydiem]

I'd say he's a bit behind Jackie Chan.

He was so FINE in this movie.. WHEWW

there is always a making of a movie...especially in Hollywood

[@hamadhumaid1984]

There's only one true Legend and his name is Michael Jackson

[@kpopislife1622]

'Come Together' is pure sin & I lost my bottle of holy water. He is a gorgeous creature & this movie was a huge part of my childhood. I wanted the video game but my mom couldn't afford the sega genesis so I wasn't able to play it. I owned the vhs of it though which I played to death, Lol. He is a legend & is deeply missed.... RIP my angel. 👑👼💕

[@SoZo]

i agree sister...MJ is so cute

[@championlehlohonolontulini9957]

His work ethic was incredible

[@A.G.1.5000]

Still can’t believe he’s dead, he is the kind of guy u think would be around forever! Since I’ve never met or seen him in real life or probably would have never had a chance to meet him if he were still alive, I feel he still alive and well in his vids and music👍

[@alexchan6303]

Wormholes not deep space honestly, he was in the public’s lives for half a century, no one ever thought we’d be without him 😔

[@danielasoares5083]

My thoughts exactly... 💔❤️💔❤️

[@so.eonee489]

Honestly! He seemed like the type that you wouldn't think would die at all, although I never met him😂😭😭❤️

[@sessiakojenu4829]

All Michael Jackson's films. both long and short make people happy, that is why he is the greatest entertainer

[@danielalmir6378]

Moonwalker have a deep meaning for him, and maybe for most of the fans. Starts with Man In The Mirror, which talks about that If you want to change the world, then you have to change yourself first. Then we can see MJ's discography (I love this part ❤) then we see a younger version of him on Bad (showing that even with his "Bad" soul, his child will never die), then Speed Demon he run away from the paparazzis, in Leave Me Alone he run for a park (which we can say it's Neverland) the place where he can finally have fun, with his fertile thinking. And in Smooth Criminal he comes to the Earth to save homeless kids (because he loves kids obviously). That's what I got it from the movie lol I think you have to open the mind before watch this movie

[@VADY2B]

the leave me alone video seemed more like him trapped from all the rumors and people joy riding off his success cause his body was a theme park. neverland might've been his own prison he made for himself away from the prison of media and every other thing that came with his success. or i might be thinking too deep.

[@elisabethhuttelmaier7592]

Your text is to long.I need a short cut.I wrote this until to the end.How should i change myself when i don't know what is wrong with me.unkowing knowing habits.behavior.

[@elisabethhuttelmaier7592]

Neverland is a meeting place.For people you can't meet never in your Life.Social Media in a nother form.He wants to get in touch with non Entertainers.

[@elisabethhuttelmaier7592]

Neverland for people Where you can meet Stars.Neverland is for people like you and me unknowings.Neverland is for kids.Neverland is for creating Kindische Master.

[@chasepotter2376]

VADY2B I don’t think the amusement park in leave me alone had anything to do with Neverland. He was just taking back control of himself by standing up and destroying the theme park which was the media and paparazzi using him.

[@SFF86]

i love how giddy and excited his choreographer got when Michael was explaining the break in Smooth Criminal lol!

[@tharekali5677]

Michael was a sweet man.😊

[@nickberg2821]

23:27 that is a real music manager. He's got a cigar and everything

[@AkakaDomenjer]

Now imagine him staying alive and financially good, what he would do, when it goes to short movies, movies, music, choreography etc... Man was musician genius. Too bad. Smooth criminal is for my taste best video ever made.

[@letskilldahoo]

Arnela de Noir are you french

[@AkakaDomenjer]

Le Joker no. But that's my real name and surname.

[@numb3r5ev3n]

We were cheated of seeing what Michael could have done as an actor - he shows emotion and depth and real range. He would have been really good in all kinds of films.

[@ericniquek]

Arnela de Noir is the first time in a long story line y to me sum of about yhu I am so serious about this app it is a good game t to be me at the end and go to work for my mom to go get my son yhu I was like a mom or me and I wan y’all get together mad 😠 I like to do that I’m and pretty so not like that man you don’t know wan wrruioo is a girl that I wan know about you I want išvsadghjkfrthhhj

I watched this movie nearly every week as a kid, dancing and running around the house along with the movie. Happy memories.

@@carterriley6113 there was tubes of skin lightening cream and the drug that is used to tranquilize people who are dying . He self injected it without his friendly doctor who came after he was already dead and did CPR on his bed which is not the way it should be done.

Anybody else ever notice that the only fingers he doesn’t bandage, are his thumb and middle finger? It’s so he can snap his fingers.

[@daryltracy7949]

nice detail

[@patriottrain2541]

Michael Jackson was a talented, genius, billionaire, who was becoming a bit too strong and powerful in Hollywood and in the music industry for the existing cabal. We love you, Michael. Thank you for sharing your heart and soul with us through your music and art!

[@artelmiller642]

If I'm not mistaken, Michael was 28 when he did moonwalker

[@xandriecee6437]

yes he was. 28-29.

He was born genius!

His manager Frank Dileo and Joe Pesci we're both in the Good Fellas movie 👍💯💥

[@bibingus23]

21:01 Frank Dileo says, "We don't want you to come out of the movie theater and be crying." I don't think people would be crying before June 25th, 2009 bc moonwalker has parts that reflect his untimely death.

[@eval_is_evil]

Hahaha Joe Pesci saying Michael's manager being a loan shark so he has to work it off :D Joe the Legend

I was a lucky 8 year old when this came out and got to see in the cinema as I was living in England - it was never released theatrically in the states. Man, I was dazzled. ITunes needs to stop fucking around and make this available for purchase.

Yea indidnt know bout the making of moonwalker.. cause at the time the moonwalker movie was released i was living in Germany n I only seen the VHS Home video VHS Tape. Available at the strore i got my copy of the movie.. never seen the making anywhere....i still got my. Original moonwalker VHS cooy of the movie on tape im proudly to say man after all these years i coukdve lost it or could have sood it or givin it awaybut no just remainedwith me in j y whole old vhs collection of tapes ..i also hqve a vhs video casseette of We Are The World music video.. which was a feature of the music video itself.. then following after the video is The Majing of we are the world project and hiw they came about making the song n how they went in the process of getting al music artists togetherto shoot the recording of the song which was the music video behind the scenes very full lengthy documentary abiut we are the world... The onky vhs tape that i whish i still had was my Making of thriller Vhs tape... man i am so disappointed cause it had been warn out cause i played it over and over again since i was really into Thriller alot when i was 7 ..8 years old ..and i really miss hqving a copy of it so bad that all i can do now to watch it ever again is thru the video posts of it being posted by fans on youtube... but all the copies on here they are all edited or have a messed up sound quality incertain areas of the video .. n it sucjks that sony epic.. cant even afford to give us fans a long awaited dvd bluray remastering of the claseic Making of thriller VHS featurette...it angers me thinking abiut how they dont rekease it.. but they sure spend money to cash in on m.js legacy n music... n hqve the nerve to only put out a Thriller 3D release in selected theaters in certain areas of the world not everywhere...... its so unfare cause if michaek was alive hed make sure all of his fans all over the world get to experience his releases of his music projects not selective.... thats so cheap only certain areas n selected movie theaters get the privalage treat to see Michaels Thriller 3D.... well if they dont ever release. This new thriller 3d on a ddvd format or bluray disc to where us fans can own our own copies of the. Film....they need to have. Ob the dvd. A original thriller video then following that the making of thriller featurette.. then anither disc have the feature music video for the new remastered special 3d 2017 version with a special documentary on hoiw they came about on making the classic short film into 3d.. amd include 3d glasses.. and perhaps throw in extras liie a new documentary on the.
