Bubbles doesn\u2019t look right. The new Michael Jackson biopic, Michael<\/em>, renders the singer\u2019s pet chimp in CGI, and the result is even creepier than the famous Jeff Koons sculpture<\/a> it evokes. His eyes bulge like Gollum\u2019s, and he moves like a deepfake. The \u201cperformance\u201d contributes to the already overwhelming strangeness of this movie about one of music\u2019s most vexing questions: Who was Michael Jackson, really?<\/p>\n

Any film attempting to answer that was going to face some challenges. When the 2019 HBO documentary<\/a> Leaving Neverland<\/em> aired allegations by two men who say the late singer abused them as kids\u2014charges his representatives contested\u2014the world was made to ask whether it should or even could \u201ccancel\u201d an artist so embedded in our collective memory and prom playlists. The Jackson estate got to work on a cultural counteroffensive<\/a>, bolstering attempts to celebrate Michael\u2019s songbook while downplaying his admitted habit of sharing beds with boys (for example, by backing a bouncy Broadway musical<\/a> set before any accusations were made public). The problem with that tactic, Michael<\/em> shows, is that his life\u2019s story is, glaringly, about the corruption of childhood.<\/p>\n

Conceived by the Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em><\/a> producer Graham King and directed by Antoine Fuqua, a veteran of slickly satisfying music videos and action films, Michael <\/em>prances through the expected steps of a biopic. The movie begins with its hero\u2019s struggles as the youngest member of the Jackson 5, a band of brothers abused into excellence by their father, Joe (played by Colman Domingo). It extends that trial into adulthood as Michael wrestles control of his career away from his dad. Along the way, masterpieces are made, gloves are bedazzled, moons are walked. But the self-actualization quest is a sideshow to a more interesting subject: Michael\u2019s eccentricities, which the film is luridly fascinated by yet too timid to address honestly.<\/p>\n

Early parts of the film show Michael\u2019s extreme talent setting him apart in ways good and bad. When Joe whips young Michael (played movingly by Juliano Valdi) in front of his brothers, the violence creates a uniquely horrible sound: that virtuosic voice, squealing in pain. One strong scene has Michael in the recording booth, crooning Smokey Robinson\u2019s \u201cWho\u2019s Lovin\u2019 You.\u201d The camera holds on the face of Motown founder Berry Gordy as he experiences astonishment and\u2014maybe\u2014a hint of alarm at how well this tyke is embodying lyrics about grown-up lust and jealousy.<\/p>\n

The adult Michael is played by the real Michael\u2019s nephew, Jaafar Jackson. He nails the sunshiny lilt and bright-eyed mannerisms that read\u2014even all these years later\u2014as too earnest to be real. As Michael moves into solo stardom and makes cunning business moves, the film captures how his seemingly naive idealism was also a form of ambition. Michael wrote inspirational advice to himself on sticky notes. He said out loud that he was the greatest of all time. He had a jejune fantasy of what a life in music could be, and he made it a reality.<\/p>\n

He did that by, as the film\u2019s best moments depict, pouring that same fantasy into his art. Thriller<\/em>\u2019s conception is rendered as excitingly\u2014if hokily\u2014as anyone could ask for. A montage intercuts studio work with clips of monster movies Michael watched on TV. At the title track\u2019s video shoot, Michael gives directorial instructions in full ghoul makeup. Again, Fuqua pulls the biopic trick of showing the faces of onlookers as they recognize genius in real time. Again, the trick works by making Michael\u2019s work\u2014as familiar as it may be to most viewers\u2014inspire new awe.<\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s personal life was also steeped in make-believe. From his childhood, he treated animals as if they were people\u2014a tendency that at first seems adorable but, as the movie goes on, becomes surreal and unsettling. In key scenes, you might catch a giraffe milling outside a window, or a snake slithering on a couch. Michael\u2019s Peter Pan syndrome is no mere subtext: Years before he founds his amusement-park-like estate, Neverland Ranch (which is not in the movie), he\u2019s shown obsessing over J. M. Barrie\u2019s classic book. A drawing of the elfin Peter even inspired him, the film strongly implies, to get his first nose job.<\/p>\n

Yes, the nose jobs\u2014plural\u2014are in the movie. As Michael ascends in fame, he bandages and re-bandages himself, and his appearance keeps shifting. An accident at a Pepsi ad shoot causes his scalp to catch fire, and in playing that moment for as much tragedy as possible, the film all but labels Michael\u2019s life as a gothic-horror tale of body transformation. A full hagiography might downplay that theme, but Fuqua seems to understand he\u2019s working with potentially dynamite material here. (Then again, Michael\u2019s body dysmorphia\u2014at one point he complains about his facial symmetry\u2014no longer seems as unusual as it once did<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Michael<\/em> is a botched job. After Fuqua does interesting work sowing seeds of folly amid the star\u2019s glorious rise, the movie gives up and turns to total sanctification. The plot beats late in the film include him donating money to a hospital, selflessly agreeing to tour with his brothers, and\u2014for the very end of the movie\u2014putting on two scintillating concerts, in basically back-to-back scenes. The movie ends in 1988 as Michael kicks off the tour for his hit album Bad<\/em>. HIS STORY CONTINUES<\/span> reads a title card. Well, yeah\u2014and we all know how.<\/p>\n

Read: The missing piece of the Bob Marley biopic<\/a><\/p>\n

The reason for the abrupt finale is astonishing. Apparently, the filmmakers meant to address<\/a> the first sexual-abuse allegation leveled against Michael, in 1993, which he disputed and ultimately settled out of court. Fuqua even shot scenes of the FBI raiding Neverland. But then the estate realized that the decades-old settlement with the accuser forbade any party from depicting that situation for commercial purposes. An entire third act had to be scrapped, though tentatively planned sequels may address the decades in which Michael\u2019s image curdled for good.<\/p>\n

This behind-the-scenes drama is not simply one of the great oopsies of Hollywood history\u2014it\u2019s also a reminder of the agendas at play. Previous versions of the script depicted the case against the singer as being a shakedown, according to The New York Times<\/em>. Michael<\/em>\u2019s projected box-office success<\/a>\u2014and boost to the late star\u2019s image\u2014may help fund efforts to erase all of the allegations from public memory. Already, a lawsuit settlement with the estate has caused HBO to stop streaming the damning and persuasive Leaving Neverland<\/em>. (The suit was predicated on a technicality: The network signed a non-disparagement agreement with Michael in the \u201990s when it bankrolled a concert film.)<\/p>\n

Michael<\/em>\u2019s commercial reception may seem to show the futility of trying to litigate truth regarding someone as once-beloved as its subject. Yet the film\u2019s obvious propagandistic tone really suggests the opposite: The question of what to do about figures like him is still very much in play. The ongoing outcry surrounding Jeffrey Epstein is on some level a reckoning with the scourge of child abuse and the impunity of the elites. So is the conversation about\u2014if not the legal facts regarding\u2014Diddy<\/a>. Americans know that the power we give certain individuals makes the most vulnerable among us unsafe. And we seem to be craving a way to change that.<\/p>\n

An honest accounting of Michael\u2019s life could help answer how. Fuqua\u2019s film understands how precious childhood is, and the way that harsh treatment and rigid social expectations can mangle a young person\u2019s outlook on life. It even seems to understand that money and power can compound those wounds in dangerous ways. In spite of itself, the film comes very close to saying something true. Instead, it opts for a fairy tale\u2014an unconvincing version of the wild and real.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
