Having grown up on the jackson 5 and mj himself since the 70's i am an avid fan of both of them. Afterrecieving the dvd man in the mirror i was exspecting maybe a little to much fropm the actors maybe. I never felt like what i was watching was actually how michael behaved acted in real life. However after watching the film a second time i realise how little we all knew about mj personal life and most probably a lot of the film depicts exactly how trajick his life really was. I would however recommend the other film which is in circulation about the jackson 5's history called The Jacksons a mini series An American Dream. Having seen man in the mirror however i would say his life was a nightmare and his childhood and upbringing led to the tragik life he led unfortunately he paid the ultimate price so that we could look upon his performances in awe and joy. Rest in peace michael, we love you now and forever. Sincerely Mathew EdwardsRead full review
This DVD has nothing of Michael in it. It shows no pictures of him and just has actors playing him and his family. Don't confuse this as a documentary about him with him in it, if it's a story you want then buy it. If you are a true fan as I am then stay away, it's not worth it been part of your DVD collection.
this dvd gave me an insight inside the life of michael jackson. i really liked this dvd but i thought when watching it afew times that whoever made this dvd didn't know much about filming. the camera man seemed to be jumpy all over the place and not hold camera in one position. it was really a good movie dvd. thats the only thing i dislike about it but as for the movie itself i enjoy it. the actors were good in it especially the person who acted as michael jackson. i bought it just to have as a reminder of michael jackson as i am a fan of his and i think he is special even to thsi day. may he rest in peace in the arms of god.
Having been an MJ fan for most of my life, I wanted to get some keepsakes from his short cut life and career. This dvd IS NOT what I expected. It's his "life story" which starts when he was 13 and is really only a PORTRAYAL. It doesn't have MJ in it, but he is played by a very good actor. It doesn't have any ACTUAL footage of MJ. It doesn't have any of his music. Altogether a let down. BUT, honestly, I didn't really know what it was and couldn't find out much about it in seller writeups. Will do my homework better next time.
I purchased this item as it was said to be a film of the magical and wonderful Michael Jackson. Unfortunately this movie makes Michael look like someone who has special needs! Not only that, in my opinion the actor who plays Michael is not a brilliant actor, and they certainly cannot dance which is also evident in the way the movie never shows even a short dance sequence, it just shows one move and flashes to something else! This film was certainly a let down and certainly does not do Michael Jackson the credit he deserves! I would not recommend it, it leaves a bad taste in ones mouth, when it should have left the viewer with a magical feeling and the urge to emulate Michael in all the healing work he does.
