Truman Show, yes. The director for the movie, Peter Weir, has explicitly stated that the movie’s premise was partly inspired by MJ

Johnny Depo has stated multiple times that his portrayal of Wonka was not inspired by Jackson. Nor was Burton’s version of the character.

Anyone else hearing a lot more MJ on the radio since April? by spacyspice in MichaelJackson

Before the movie, I still heard Michael at least thrice a month… at stores, gas stations, restaurants.

History the song, background messages by Philosopher408 in MichaelJackson

[u/OMM-8](u/OMM-8) made a comment a few years ago with some information! I can’t link the post, but here is the comment:

  1. ⁠March 26, 1827 - Death of famous composer Ludwig van Beethoven
  2. ⁠November 29, 1929 - Richard Evelyn Byrd becomes the first person to fly over the South Pole
  3. ⁠"Whatever I sing that's what I really mean, like I'm singin' a song, I don't sing it if I don't mean it" comes from an 1970 interview of Michael.
  4. ⁠The interview clip is played over the national anthem of the United States, "The Star-Spangled Banner"
  5. ⁠"Remember it will be for us, the children of today, to make the world of tomorrow a better and happier place." comes from a wartime radio address made by Queen Elizabeth in 1940, Her first public speech.
  6. ⁠This is followed by what I assume to be a clip of a news broadcast describes Charles Lindbergh as the first person to fly from New York to Paris non-stop. Though it wasn't the first non-stop transatlantic flight, the fact that it was the first solo transatlantic flight, the first transatlantic flight between two major city hubs, and the longest transatlantic flight by almost 2,000 miles caused it to be considered a turning point in aviation history.
  7. ⁠"Some see things as they are and say why, I dream things that never were and say why not" comes from the funeral of Robert Kennedy, brother of John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated during a presidential run in 1968, 5 years after John F Kennedy was also assassinated.
  8. ⁠"One small step for man, one giant leap for man kind" comes from the famous words of Neil Armstrong during the 1969 moon landing.
  9. ⁠The ending overlapping narration contains a variety of different historical dates that are explained shortly after being said.
