[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 439311, member: 5079"] Exclusion is a form of commentary. If there's a part 2 and it deals with the controversial aspects of Michael's life in an unbiased manner, I'll be proven wrong. With Michael's estate and the corporate owners of his musical catalog involved, I am confident in saying that will never happen. This is all what the kids call "glazing", focusing on the glory and the hype for PR myth making. And yes it was true of BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY as well, a carefully curated, sanitized, crowd pleasing film designed to hype up Queen music. And it was effective. I had zero interest in Queen and then spent months after the movie listening to their "Best Of" album. One can be manipulated even while being aware of being manipulated. The estate was involved and had considerable influence on the production. Michael's musical catalog is too valuable for the estate or corporate owners to allow too much truth or controversy to mar his image. No dramatization or documentary will be able to fully explore Michael's life and legacy until after copyright expiration, long after we're all dead. Something similar occurred recently involving a Prince documentary, which was said to be excellent and in depth look at his highs and lows. The Prince estate objected, refused to allow the use of his music, and the 9-hour doc is now shelved. Instead we'll get an estate approved PR puff piece. [/QUOTE]
