The movie didn’t really convey that, according to Michael, Joe was the source of his low self-esteem. Michael hated the way he looked, largely because Joe would make fun of his nose, and other physical features. Joe never seemed to understand that Michael was a sensitive person, so his abuse affected Michael more drastically than the other children. People have to realize that every child can’t be parented the same because they have different personalities and react to things differently.

[@urmom777]

Exactly. If your child is that scared of you somethings wrong. And people excuse it because they were successful. A lot of child stars are successful but they get molested by industry pedophiles. Success doesn't excuse abuse.

[@ShockMe1994]

People need to remember that Michael was also a child, what seemed like nothing to adults was probably amplified 10x to him and honestly his father probably shared kind moments with him but it was overshadowed by the anger.

[@ShockMe1994]

Then again Michael also credited his father with his success

[@obdiane]

I do think Joe was a strict and harsh dad, but I think MJ was also just a sensitive soul so he took the whoopings and scolding differently and it affected him more than the other kids. He internalized it and became a perfectionist with his talent, but withdrawn and socially awkward.

[@Milkers777]

[@mdiallo07]

This movie is One of my Top Favorites ever...The guy that plays older Michael, his name is Wylie Draper. He was originally a dancer and was hand picked my MJ to play him, but unfortunately soon after this film was released he passed away from Leukemia. I've always said that Wylie looks so close to MJ, which conveniently I found out is one of the reasons why he was chosen for this role.

[@lecuyerdooley1084]

You wondered why Rebbie and Tito were in a rush to get married. Rebbie got married because Jehovah's Witnesses believe in marrying before having sex, so they often marry quite young so as not to "sin." Tito -- and quite a few others of the Jackson kids -- married young because marriage was a way to "free' themselves of Joseph's dominance over their personal lives. He might control their professional ones, but marriage was the only acceptable way to get out from under his heavy hand.

Jovaneh ( not sure how to spell it ) was Joseph's illegitimate daughter from an affair, she was one of the names you read. Katherine and Joseph's children are : Rebbie, Jackie. Jermaine, Tito, Marlon, Latoya, Michael, Randy, and Janet.Tito Jackson is a well respected guitarist and musician in the industry , he recently put out a album that did very well and went on a tour. People only made fun of him because he didn't dance as much as his brothers and preferred staying out of the spotlight.

Fun fact: Though she gave credit to her then husband, "Jermaine Jackson", Margaret Maldonado, Jermaine's 2nd "wife" (as she claims in her book, tho she provides no wedding date etc., so I don't believe they were ever really married) was the creative mind & executive producer behind this mini-series. She remarked that after their Victory Tour, the brothers lived so "high on the hog", that by the time Margaret began toying with the idea of creating this series, the brothers were doing so bad financially (with thee exception of Michael of course), she wanted to come up with an idea that would put a nice amount of money in everyone's pockets. Doing such a great job creating this series gave her entree into the creative branch of entertainment moving forward, so she & her children were able to be okay, been tho Jermaine was a barely present, deadbeat dad. So kudos to Margaret Maldonado for this great series that many of us have watched over 10 times, I for 1 am more like approaaching my 20th viewing, that's for sure!!!

How can you not know what Motown 25 is?! I mean everyone remembers it because it was the first time MJ performed Billie Jean live and debuts his version of the moonwalk and stuff but the entire show was and is to this day one of the greatest music events ever. People forget that Debarge also debuted on that show. The battle between the Temptations and the Four Tops?? The show was epic. The Jackson’s and MJ’s full performance from it are on KZbin but so are a lot of other performances from it. I think it was one of the last tv appearances of Marvin Gaye too. Stevie Wonder was on it. Diana Ross reunited with the Supremes. I think the Commodores were there too but Lionel Richie was a no show. Here’s a quick fun fact. Beat It was actually the number 1 song in the country when Motown 25 aired, not Billie Jean and it didn’t return Billie Jean to the number one spot. The Thriller album had been number 1 in the country for 10 weeks straight already and after Motown 25 stayed number 1 for another 5 weeks. Then after falling out of the number 1 spot it went back to complete a still record holding 37 weeks in the number one spot.

They didn’t show all the torment that Joseph put Michael through, on your own time watch of if you want to react to it watch Michael Jackson private phone conversations you’ll understand him better and why in the movie he threw that shoe at Joseph’s

[@margebouvier6926]

Thank you for reacting to this. I love this movie

The 2nd Michael is Jason Weaver. The voice of Simba in The Lion King.

[@lb8471]

Jason Weaver did the singing parts only. The talking voice was done by Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

bruh props for watching the whole movie.👍🏻 new sub.

Yes, the rat was true. He made a song after it called “Ben”. You should check it out.

[@bryce253]

Dear lord will people stop saying this?!? BEN was written NOT by Michael Jackson and it was for a movie soundtrack for the MOVIE BEN. If you saw the remake of that movie, it was called Willard. MJ did sing it and it did win a golden globe and was nominated for an Oscar.

Mattie Moss Clark ...The Clark Sisters mother was just as bad as Joe Jackson. You should check out that movie too

The momma of the Ward Singers was another, as were the mothers of Judy Garland, and Dorothy Dandridge.

The one you said sounds exactly like Michael, is his real life nephew. He got to play his own father in the movie

[@michaelwashington4408]

By the time Jermaine married Hazel ..Joe was fed up with motown. He wanted his boyz to have more control so they left Motown

@@musicman9914 not the point I was making, smh. I am a huge fan of the Jacksons, Michael and Janet so please miss me w Joe's reasoning. My point was a lot of fathers instead of the mothers are the huge driver in a lot of musicians start

Tito's ex-wife (Dee Dee) was murdered in 1994. Drowned in her BF pool but he was eventually convicted for killing her. She would be the 3rd woman who drowned in his presence...

The song home originated from The wiz and Stephanie Mills sing it first then when the wiz came out with a movie because the wiz was a play a Broadway play at first when The wiz came out as a movie Diana Ross did the song. By the way if you haven't watched The wiz you might want to cuz it's both Michael Jackson and Diana Ross in that movie and it's awesome

@JustJammin' Ben was The Rat!!! lyrics by Michael Ben, the two of us need look no more We both found what we were looking for With a friend to call my own I'll never be alone And you, my friend, will see You've got a friend in me (You've got a friend in me) [Verse 2] Ben, you're always running here and there (Here and there) You feel you're not wanted anywhere (Anywhere) If you ever look behind And don't like what you find There's something you should know You've got a place to go (You've got a place to go)
