There is one specific movie that has successfully taken me back to a special time in my life and that is none other than Michael (2026). It was an unexpected thing for me, because I never imagined I would watch a movie related to my favourite idol. My happiness knew no bounds when I first watched the trailer, I was on the verge of crying. Because I am one of his biggest fans.
I have been a die hard fan of Michael Jackson since I was young. My mother used to taunt me because I used to skip classes just to listen to his new released songs. I still remember listening to his songs whenever I had the chance. I live in Bangladesh and at that time we didn't have the internet or streaming services. I always had to wait for his songs to hear it on the radio or watch it on TV, I would stop my activities just to watch and listen to Michael Jackson. Can't describe how much I loved his voice and his energy. He had taken a special place in my heart and his dance moves amazed me every single time. I always wanted to dance like him.
The moonwalk was the move that completely made me go crazy and I watched it over and over again, I have lost the counts. I was too curious that how could someone make it look so effortless and how he was so perfect. I was desperate to learn it and show off to my friends. I used to spent hours trying to copy his moves at home, sliding across the floor and faced many failed attempts. Once I had participated in the dance competition at school and I danced on Michael's song with his iconic moves and guess what? I had won the first place! I was so happy about it. To be honest, no matter how good I danced but I could never master it like him. When I think of the past time, those attempts to dance make me smile because they remind me of how much I admired him.
Today, I am a man in my 50s and as a die hard fan my love and respect for Michael Jackson has never faded. I also made my children listen to his songs and they also fell in love with his aura. When I go on vacations with my family, we would always listen to his songs. So, you can already tell how much I appreciated him and made my loved ones admire him as well.
When I heard a movie about Michael is going to happen any soon. I was more than happy. I was excited to see someone representing my idol. At first I was scared because I wondered how they would portray him. When he was alive he had suffered a lot for false allegations, so I was afraid that they may portray him wrongly. I would have been really upset if that had happened but gladly it was nothing like that. I was happy to know that Michael Jackson's biographical movie was portrayed by his real-life nephew, Jaafar Jackson.
When I saw him in the trailer for the first time, I could already tell how good it was going to be. He was playing the adult role of Michael and I was amazed by Jafar's acting skills. The child actors they were also good. Specially, the man who played the role of Michael's father he was making everything feel so real. I could feel my blood boiling at some points. I'm glad they did show a bit about how Michael's childhood was. The movie could not fully describe his whole life in just a few hours, but still I was impressed by all of the casts and storyline.
This movie reminded me that there was just a young boy who couldn't wait to hear the next Michael Jackson song. Watching this movie brought all of those memories back. The movie reminded me why I became his fan in the first place. He was a man of kindness and innocence. I always wanted to be a kind person like him who would spread his love to the world. Every sequence in the movie reminded me of the past memories.
As a crazy fan of Michael, I truly enjoyed the movie. I almost cried while watching the movie because it made me feel nostalgic. The legend is not with us anymore, but his presence is always there with us because of his songs. When I was watching the movie it felt like I was reliving a part of my childhood. It felt like I was getting a bit closer to him.
So, there are multiple reasons why Michael (2026) means a lot to me. This movie reminded me of the dreams, excitement and admiration I had as a young fan. There's no doubt that, no one ever can be like him and he is the greatest of all time. Even though I'm older now but hearing his music and watching anything related to him gives me the same feeling I had decades ago. Michael Jackson became part of the memories that shaped my childhood and this movie brought those memories back in the best possible way.
