CLIP DESCRIPTION:
The Four Crows torment Scarecrow (Michael Jackson), making him repeat the Crow Commandments and sing the Crow Anthem.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Sidney Lumet's The Wiz is the film version of the popular Broadway musical that retells the events of L. Frank Baum's classic novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz through the eyes of a young African-American kindergarten teacher who's "never been below 125th Street." Leaving a large family dinner to chase her dog into a snowstorm, Dorothy (Diana Ross) is swept up by a cyclone and transplanted to the land of Oz -- which looks suspiciously like a skewed version of the run-down Manhattan of the late '70s. Landing on top of the Wicked Witch of the East, the puzzled Dorothy is greeted by munchkins who peel themselves from a graffiti mural and sing to her about the Wiz (Richard Pryor), a powerful wizard living in Emerald City who can help her get home. On her journey down the yellow brick road, she encounters a garbage-stuffed scarecrow (Michael Jackson) in a junkyard, a broken-down tin man (Nipsey Russell) caught in the decay of an old amusement park, and a cowardly lion (Ted Ross) posing as a stone statue outside a museum. The quartet tangles with a subway station that comes to life, a poppy den, and a gaggle of motorcycle henchman on their way to the Wiz -- who orders them to kill the Wicked Witch of the West (a sweatshop tyrant) before he will grant them their wishes. The Wiz has about double the large-scale production numbers of The Wizard of Oz (1939), with songs written and composed by Charlie Smalls.

Wish Michael had more opportunities to be in films. He's acting was just as good as his performing. The Hollywood industry screwed him over badly.

[@OnYourSquare]

He was solid in this one. But rewatching Men in Black may make you rethink that a bit.

[@rockythebear3420]

+Javier Maltzan Michael Jackson was incredible since he was 6. They knew what they were doing when they cast him for the part. His signature "MJ" style wasn't developed yet, but he was still amazing. We saw plenty of great moves in this film. It's just a shame the 5 minutes dedicated to just HIM were up on a pole.

[@kevingimmemusic]

+Javier Maltzan respectfully, your comment is indicative of most people that speak like his "iconic" status started at Thriller and beyond. this union of him and Q made an album that was way better musically (but not commercially) than Thriller. This begat Off The Wall..and prior to that..Mike REVOLUTIONIZED the robot.. there are montage clips of him doing it on youtube.. search "Dancing Machine" and be mesmerized. I remember that WELL..still better than the moonwalk..but that's just my opinion...he POPULARIZED the moonwalk..but he didn't introduce it. Jeffery Daniel of Shalamar, did it on top of the pops, and Mike saw it and had Jeffery teach him.. and before Jeffery another black tap dancer did it way back in the day..and it escapes me..

[@adroharv9213]

he was basically great at everything wasn't he

[@kristuti1]

I heard he was a bad driver :D Well, there had to be something he wasn't good at because it wouldn't be fair to be this talented.

Is NO ONE going to talk about the guys comment?

[@Tabrinaistocool]

Andre Lavandero I’m glad white people are understanding the movie. The crow commandments and rhetoric the crows fed scarecrow of being lesser than and incapable are exactly how the government stunted the black mindset. The non black people ( and some black people ) I have shown this movie didn’t grasp that.

Michael was expressing the hardships that African Americans had to go throw even 10 years after Martin Luther King’s death and 14 years after the civil rights act the crows represent Jim Crow the pole represents the setbacks for African Americans Michael represents the African American population of some 17 million at the time
