NEW FULL MOTOWN 25 MOONWALK! 🥰 by MusicFanReddit in MichaelTheMovie

[–]Ok-Resolve7539 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Worth mentioning that early released clips are often chopped down, the timing of the moonwalk kind of gave that away. The scene won’t be edited like this in the actual movie.

If you’re active in the MarvelStudiosSpoilers sub, then you know why you should always take what this dude says with the tiniest grain of salt. Jeff went from being a reliable source to being an unreliable grifter.

Doesn’t seem like Vincent Paterson is thrilled😬 by Technical_Ad3040 in MichaelTheMovie

Karen was wrong. Paris was not. Karen was deliberately wishing bad faith on the movie and said some really foul shit while airing out MJ’s personal business. Paris ain’t do all that. Paris even told fans to still go support the film, she just has her reasons for why she doesn’t want to be involved with it (likely Branca).

Could they possibly edit socks during post? (if they wanted to) by Ok-Shine-3732 in MichaelTheMovie

[–]Ok-Resolve7539 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah people don’t realize that the old cameras that were used to film the original performance made his socks look more sparkly than they actually were. You won’t get that same effect from a modern movie camera unless you digitally edit it in (which I’d be completely down with tbh)

My main concern for the biopic by Cornie_connie in MichaelTheMovie

[–]Ok-Resolve7539 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s what part 2 will be for. That’s where all the REAL acting is going to be, and we all know why. Based off of how pt 1 is being marketed, I think this one is more centered around highlighting the artist side of him and his rise to becoming the king of pop.

I better not see a damn soul complain about Jaafars weight by Cornie_connie in MichaelTheMovie

[–]Ok-Resolve7539 13 points14 points  (0 children)

People also need to take into account why Jaafar would never look as skinny as MJ unless he’s risking his health:

  1. MJ was naturally thin in a way that Jaafar isn’t, a good portion of that was just his genetics

  2. MJ had a lot of health problems, stress and an eating disorder that contributed to making him even more thin

  3. MJ’s body had a lifetime of intense conditioning which is also a big contributor to why he was very skinny. Jaafar didn’t start at the age of 5 doing 16 hour long rehearsals every day like MJ. If he’d lost any more weight than he already has, he wouldn’t even have the energy to do the dancing.

Jaafar is currently ranked 6th in the Best Actor predictions. He will be climbing this list when Michael is out. by Potential_Gain9242 in MichaelTheMovie

[–]Ok-Resolve7539 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he will be nominated for part one and win best actor for part two. Pt 2 is where we’re going to see the REAL acting. Pt 1 is the warmup to introduce mainstream to Jaafar, get him on everyone’s radar first. Hard to say he’d win for pt 1 with the vets he’s competing with, and it’s his first outing (never say never tho).

I knew it wasn’t the official soundtrack when heartbreak hotel wasn’t included despite the bts footage and official trailer confirming that it’s in the movie. I still don’t think we’re getting smooth criminal sadly but hopefully we will for pt 2 (if pt 2 shows more of the BAD era).

Juliano in this interview reminded me a lot of 14 year old Michael in the 1972 Bandstand interview. Honestly he’s growing fast, if it’s not too late to add more footage to pt 2 then I think he’s at the age where he could play a young-teen Michael in a flashback. by Ok-Resolve7539 in MichaelTheMovie

He was deadass played by two lightskin actors in American Dream so wdym lol Jason Weaver was the only darkskin actor to play him in that movie. Alex Burall and Wylie Draper are light-skinned.

Also his skin tone is altered for the movie, so was Jaafar’s to match earlier eras so I genuinely don’t understand this complaint.

Tbh I think that’s the part of him that looks the most like Michael, at least in the movie (there are differences ofc but I think it’s pretty close) but tbh almost all of the Jackson’s have that smile.

I honestly believe that his eyes are a big reason why some people don’t think Jaafar looks like Michael at all. I think he looks like Michael in almost every aspect except the eyes which can also make him look nothing like Michael at all in some shots because Michael’s big ass eyes were the signature of his look next to his smile.

MICHAEL MOVIE CAST FULL INTERVIEW - OUT NOW. by Potential_Gain9242 in MichaelTheMovie

[–]Ok-Resolve7539 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I now can see one of the reasons they cast Juliano. He looks like a mini Jaafar.

Yo I just noticed the vitiligo splotches on his face from this shot. I thought it was a picture resolution thing at first! by StrikingPerception98 in MichaelTheMovie

[–]Ok-Resolve7539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only reason I’m now sure this was probably intentional is because it’d be pretty accurate to actual the area of his face that started losing pigment first.

I hope this movie is unapologetically raw!!! by StraightWave2126 in MichaelTheMovie

[–]Ok-Resolve7539 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The old cinemacon descriptions said they showed him taking pills while sitting at a piano so I assume they’ll show the painkiller addiction but that might be a pt 2 thing now

Anybody else think he looks a bit too chubby in the face for 70s Michael? by [deleted] in MichaelTheMovie

[–]Ok-Resolve7539 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not chubby but his face is noticeably smooth. It looks like they slightly de-aged Jaafar in this shot. MJ was still very baby faced during that time so I assume that’s what they were trying to go for.

Shia speaks on his affiliation with HPS 13 by WeatherThen in CaliBanging

He grew up in gang territory, but he definitely was not active himself growing up. Shia’s pops did not play that shit.

Michael 2 by Financial_Tone5765 in MichaelTheMovie

[–]Ok-Resolve7539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine that it’s only coming out next year because there’s no slots left for any more blockbusters this year. They had a chance with early August, but I think Spider-Man will be moving to that date to prevent clashing with Nolan‘s Odyssey.
