The iconic Elizabeth Taylor talks about Michael Jackson’s ‘This Is It’ concert movie documentary that premieres worldwide tonight, Tuesday, October 27, 2009.
In a private screening last week, the 77-year-old actress said that the documentary is “the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking” she has ever seen.
She took to Twitter to reveal her feelings about the film and a few of her Tweets on Monday were:
- “wept from pure joy at his God-given gift” and was “honored with the great privilege” to see the film
- “It cements forever Michael’s genius in every aspect of creativity…To say the man is a genius is an understatement. He cradles each note, coaxes the music to depths beyond reality… There will never, ever be the likes of him again. And we have this piece of film to remind us forever and ever that once there was such a man.”
- “You owe it to yourselves and your loved ones to see this again and again. Memorize it and say to yourselves, ‘I saw genius in my lifetime.’ I loved genius in my lifetime.”
- “Mr. Ortega [Director Kenny Ortega] catches Michael in his every mood,” she posted. “You see in front of your eyes Michael’s genius blossoming on this piece of film thanks to Kenny Ortega and his crews. I truly believe this film should be nominated in every category conceivable.”
The documentary-style film is based on the rehearsal footage shot of the King of Pop while he was preparing for this comeback concert series in London, ‘This Is It.’
