Natalie and I went to see THIS IS IT the last time that we went up to the mountains, while Bill stayed at our cabin with Diego. The Rustic Theater is my favorite theater ever, a cozy place where you can even grab one of the blankets available and feel like at home. Nothing compares to the charm of small towns. When we go up to the mountains we never want to go back to our home in Los Angeles.p
So, seeing THIS IS IT over there, far away from Hollywood was a very special experience. I could write a long review about this movie, there is so much that it could be said about it. But all I want to say is that it was extremely inspiring.
I cried a lot, it was impossible not to, I smiled, I dreamed and I wished that MJ was still alive. He was a true genius. His fame and the whole noise around his persona for years was too big for many of us to appreciate the real person, the real artist behind it.
There is a part by the end of the movie where he says to his crew (referring to the huge show that they were getting ready for): There is nothing to be nervous about, this is just an adventure...
Those words traveled deep into my heart because he said them in such a simple and profound way at the same time. They made me think that in the end ART is an adventure and LIFE is an adventure and there is nothing to be nervous about. All we need is a way to express ourselves, a way to have fun being who we are and doing what we really enjoy doing.
Thanks Michael!
