Kind of sad now


Since the death of Michael, this movie seems different than when it first came out. For me, anyway.

yeah it kind of does.

it's always been the same, a father whores his kids out to make HIM rich, he sacrifices THEIR lives so he can be comfortable in his old age. Bastard deserves to be buried in a cardboard box in a potters field when his day comes.

Joseph was just like any man who came up by putting his kids to work on the stage, making his ego rich as well as his pockets. With that, no account, insecure women who are approached by such parasites places them on pedestals, letting their 'sugar daddy' funnel money to them, paying for expensive apartments and flying around the country meeting him in hotels while the wife stayed home. No wonder Papa Joe was telling Katherine the road was Jackson 5 business --- "Me and Jackson business"

'Life my a$$ motha flucka, this is a bidness.'

You can say that again. And he basically screwed up Michael the most which is why he became such a talented yet deeply troubled and damaged soul. Joseph will reap what he sowed.
