>The original cut was four hours long and included the sexual abuse allegations against Michael, scrapped due to a clause in the settlement with accuser Jordan Chandler and his family that prohibited their depiction. The movie was then recut to focus on Michael’s rise to stardom and struggle to break free from his domineering father Joe Jackson.>The movie originally began in 1993, with Michael staring at his reflection in the mirror as police arrived to search Neverland Ranch due to Chandler’s allegations, before flashing back to Michael’s childhood in the 1960s.>Michael’s rise to stardom was intercut with the investigation, including Michael being strip-searched and manhandled by the police. The flashback segments included a voice-over narration by Michael, which was deleted when the movie was recut into a linear narrative.>After the original third act was cut, several scenes depicting Michael’s creative process when writing songs, choreographing dances and planning music videos were reinserted after being bookmarked for deletion to shorten the runtime.>Kat Graham filmed several scenes as Diana Ross that were cut for “legal reasons”. While not confirmed, it is speculated that these scenes depicted her mentoring young Michael during their time at Motown and playfully indulging his crush on her, which left him heartbroken when he realized she didn’t truly reciprocate his feelings.
>The original third act depicted the construction of Neverland Ranch and explored how Michael’s addiction to painkillers and the vitiligo changing his appearance took a toll on his mental health, causing him to retreat further into his fantasy world and surround himself with children, to the concern of his friends and family.>Michael is shown befriending Jordan Chandler after his car breaks down and Jordan’s family helps him. Michael sees himself in Jordan and Joe in Jordan’s father Evan Chandler. When Evan fails to leverage his connection to Michael into a Hollywood scriptwriting career and runs into debt, he coerces Jordan into falsely accusing Michael.>Derek Luke filmed several scenes as Michael’s lawyer Johnnie Cochran, who helps him settle with the Chandlers. This damages Michael’s public image and leads to several other false accusations by people seeking to extort him. While Michael’s behavior towards children is framed as unhealthy and misguided, he is presented as unequivocally innocent of molestation.>The movie reportedly ended after the 1993 settlement, depicting the later years of Michael’s life – including his marriage and the birth of his children, as well as his 2005 trial and subsequent financial problems – in a montage intercut with one of his performances, and culminating with the announcement of his death in 2009 and the importance of his enduring legacy.

>>220436567Where did we go so wrong that the coerced agreement of a dead man can be used to gag others.
biopics that don't ever show the protag in any kind of genuine bad light are so dull
>>220436567Did they reshoot to state that he 100% EARNED those kids?I mean, he made Thriller for god's sake.
>>220437938example of biopics that do show them in a bad light?
Im going to see this movie tonight with a black girl for our 2nd date. Problem is the movie starts at 8 pm so it'll be 10 pm when it's out and we won't have time to make out or anything. We didn't even kiss on the first date which is why I pretty much gave up on her but she still wanted to talk. If we don't kiss after tonight then it's absolutely over. I fucked up and broke my rule and took her to a chain restaurant for our first date where she ordered 30 dollar lobster entree. I just fucking hate "coffee" especially because I usually meet these girls at night, who drinks coffee at 7 pm? And "drinks" they just dodge saying they don't drink, or they think you're trying to rape them. Cheap cafes are my best option to weed out the gold diggers. Fortunately I'm already having sex with another girl but I want to fuck this one too.
>>220436567>>220436571Even without the legal case, it's a hard film to balance.While i liked the drama part, it felt rushed already and maybe insisting too much on the bad side for this part of his life, imo.The childhood should have been a film by itself, just about the Jackson 5.A three part movie should have been perfect (childhood - 1978 to 1992 - 1993 to death).But in this format, they could hardly do better as it is. The casting is perfect pretty much.
>>220437947I believe those boys raped him, then tried to cash on it.It's fucking MICHAEL JACKSON for fucks sake. HEE HEEE!
>>220436567Someone needs to go rogue and leak the Chandler cut NOW
The Evan Chandler case was always provably false. Everyone knows it's a lie they just want an excuse to shit in a successful Black man with a positive social influence.
>>220438225People are ignorant, it was just pure friendship, it's ignorance (hee hee).
>>220438253You need at least a room temp iq to post here
the blood on the dance floor era of jackson was kino and im tired of pretending its nothttps://youtu.be/K_G5DLYRz6M
>>220436567> The movie originally began in 1993, with Michael staring at his reflection in the mirrorHe was looking at the Man in the Mirror… woah..
its crazy they recorded this video shortly after his death but it took them a decade to release itpure kinohttps://youtu.be/5bOkWTprifg
>>220436567The journalist that saw the original script went on a podcast and revealed more details about the script:https://podmust.com/ep/?podcast=today-explained&epis=VGhlIE1pY2hhZWwgSmFja3NvbiAiYmlvcGljIg==30 minutes long
>>220439537skip to around 4 minutes in to skip the fluff
>>220438344So don't post here then, pedo apologist. /pol/ might be more your speed, they are low IQ pedo defenders as well.
>>220439537QRD?
>>220439750only made it through the first half before i had to do other stuff but it'd continue past the bad tour, and as michael would get more and more isolated, he'd hang around more and more children in neverland. then the accusations start, people are out to exploit him, he gets stripped search and cries, the reporter it says it's very sad, and near the end there's a scene with michael and his mother and he asks his mother why is he like this, why is he so misunderstood
is it better for the box office that it doesn't deal with the allegations?
>>220440463In my opinion, no. The controversy and discussion would generate interest.
>>220439588Only illiterate retards "believe" the false allegations. You people hate critical thinking more than you hate happy successful Black people.
>>220436567Zero evidence of any wrongdoing.Zero guilt.You lost, tranny.
>>220439588You lost, tranny. The KING won.How does it feel kneeling before your KING?
We need to make "Release The Chandler Cut" trend. At least it would put it into the minds of normies for years to come and spread more of the truth throughout the world and social media. It might inspire some based schizo to break into the estate and leak it.
>>220440627If you're literate, you would be able to read and understand all the evidence against Wacko. Alas, you are too dumb to understand any of it.>>220440649I don't kneel before n*ggers, unlike you n*gger cock suckers. Back to /pol/ to worship your pedo n*gger king.
