Before seeing this I was under the impression that Joe Jackson was the literal devil buts nothing he did was out of the ordinary for the time. There have been many millions of fathers who put belt to their ass to their kids who don’t make anything of themselves. Dare I say he did nothing wrong.
Movie white washes their dad mocking their big flat noses, which led to their plastic surgery addiction? Joe Jackson was implied as doing much more, wonder if molestation happened.
>>220022512He was objectively evil and a bad father, but he undoubtedly did those kids a favor by fostering their talent. An excellent manager, shit dad.
>>220022619I’m very surprised they didn’t bring up his second family and him cheating on his wife once.
Call me a faggot, but I did not cope well with my dad hitting me. It created deep and everlasting resentment, and it meant I could never really love my dad. It seems like Michael endured much worse things, and it's surprising that he never used his wealth and power to take revenge on his old man. That would be at the very top of my To-Do list, if I were Michael.
>>220023166Well, Michael did pay Joe back somehow. He left him out of his will as a last fuck you to him and gave his money to his kids, his mom and charity in case he dies
>>220022512how does this compare to the Broadway show?
>>220022512it's truechemically castrating your own children was really in at the time
