Mohamed T. @RT31705394 5d Epic dark fantasy aesthetic about himself and the media treating him like a monster should have been an album named ghosts not remix album with botdf title his best short film ever more than thriller in my opinion See more Hongru O @Hongru Jan 21 An Epic Film for An Epic Guy See more We Talk N @tylerking24 10/03/2023 What a job my MJ. The short film itself was simple and watchable while the songs and choreography were top notch. See more 08/02/2020 most hard coreography by the king See more 02/12/2016 Love this!! KING OF POP!! See more 09/18/2014 This 35 minute film is the longest music video ever made. It's an odd beast, not the least because it's quite obviously a direct reply to sexual abuse allegations that had been levelled against him. That aside, the plot is strange since Jackson seems to defend himself against the charge that he's weird and scary by being weird and scary. Go figure. Stan Winston's work is, as expected, phenomenal, but the whole thing leaves me with a vaguely bad feeling. See more Read all reviews
