The BlackTrack #45: The Jacksons: An American Dream (Part 1)

How did a story about 9 different children with 9 different idea's about how their story should be told manage to make it to completion? Not just any children...but Jackson children. BlackTrack with me to find out.

6:35 That's Randy. That photo was taken after Jermaine stayed with Motown.

[@BlackMediaManCave]

Looking back at it, you're right. They look so young in the picture I just assumed it was Jermaine. My mistake.

@@BlackMediaManCave In the 80s my mom told me Marlon was Randy.

Fun fact: the scene where Katherine found out Joseph was cheating; arguably one of the most memorable and imitated lines in the whole biopic, Angela Bassett improvised all of that with an interview I watched about her discussing this role. It’s funny how Angela Bassett is thirteen days older than Michael Jackson in real life.

Wow, I didn't even know there was third sister. And that lost twin brother story is insane

[@RolandStone32]

It's a shame what happened to Shamone

[@ThePrettyArcher]

MJ did say he sung climb every mountain at school and talks about how he made his teacher cry from how beautiful his voice is

[@WillPooleNYC]

Your comical anecdotes were on ten for this review. Jason Weaver definitely nailed his performance while “Cochise” and “Anna Mae” deserved Emmy recognition in my opinion. I believe LHJ and Fishburne’s award opportunities suffered based on the controversial characters they portrayed so effectively. You are a maestro of your craft Bro. I envy the viewers who discover all your content at once.

Thank you so much. I grew up watching this movie. I was already a fan of Michael Jackson’Thriller’ so when I saw this biopic about his family and discovered more of his music and Janet I became a fan for life. Thank you so much brother. ❤

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

This is one of the greatest music biopics of all time. Can we please reviews on the following music biopics: Purple Rain The Five Heartbeats What’s Love Got To Do With It Why Do Fools Fall In Love Little Richard The Temptations Ray Notorious Crazy, Sexy, Cool Get On Up Straight Outta Compton The New Edition Story The Bobby Brown Story The Roxanne Shante Story The Clark Sisters: First Ladies Of Gospel Salt-N-Pepa I Wanna Dance With Somebody

Tito did an interview with Vlad and confirmed thats how they discovered his talent. at the Talent show

[@radenewbury7499]

Salute i left my full observation on both in the 2nd video part. i asked you to do this like 2 years ago but good video bro lol ..Would love to see Temptations movie AND NEW EDITION movie done next... top 3 musical bio pics in my opinion

[@WillPooleNYC]

Definitely agree!! I consider these three films a trifecta in regards to the best musical mini-series.

[@ThePrettyArcher]

The sad thing is most black people ARE abused as kids but everyone sees it as normal. But that's another conversation

[@Gilthunder93]

I've only seen bits and pieces of this movie, but your breakdown is very entertaining.👍🏿😅

[@thekingmichael3486]

It’s cool how Jermaines son played him in this movie and now another son is playing Michael in the MJ biopic

[@EAScotti]

Thank you for this one my guy. Classic, filled with hella quotables 👍🏿

[@nicolesherman8974]

Idk why I thought this was going to be a video on the Malcolm X biopic. Nonetheless this is going to be good.

[@ladalewatson-ch4im]

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodGeek99]

Another great video! Cant wait to see part 2

[@DeANGELIS4735]

You got to review "I Got The Hook Up" 1998

[@JamesSmith-ov5um]

Great review, only thing I disagree on is when you said there was no pay off for the Michael and Mr. Rat storyline. I think it shows the psyche of Mike as he was someone that would be seen as different/unique/weird. All of his brothers when they’re not performing have actual humans as friends. Even when the Rat was killed, Michael was distraught that his literal best friend had passed but that’s just a rodent Joe looked at as something he (as well as most people) would want out of their house immediately. And it also can play into the fact Joe really doesn’t want any of his kids having friends whether it’s people or animals. Could be a reach but I firmly believe the first thing I stated. Otherwise, this was a terrific review my G!

[@StrangerINC]

Oh you want to be starting something you think your bad!!!! Well im off the wall!

[@KingTay-xg4mi]

The greatest biopic of all time when it come to historical musical movies the music itself doesn't overshadow the actual film this movie is god its prolly on TV right now idk but the music as great as it is,is still secondary to the overall movie,scenes like the brick moving and I don't wanna get on this plane or who broke this guitar set up perfectly to the why I accidently broke this guitar and Lawrence Hilton Jaco's was everything this his greatest role ever he sold angry scared me a bit and Angela was so dedicated to the role it's stillmy fav of hers the limp she did she truly a method actor

[@Xy2tone]

[@BlackMediaManCave]

I said he appears alongside all 3 age groups. Which he does.
