Man in the Mirror - The Michael Jackson Story Summary Array

Today, When You Hear The Name Michael Jackson It Is All Too Often Associated With Weirdness, Overdone Plastic Surgery, Pet Chimps, Dangling Babies, Extravagant Spending Sprees And Lurid Accusations. But That Was Not Always The Case. Two Decades Ago This Son Of A Steelworker Was Unquestionably The Biggest Pop Star Of His Time. He Possessed An Amazing Ability To Mesmerize Crowds, Was Beloved By Millions Of Adoring Fans, And At The Height Of His Career, He Was As Big As The Beatles. This Original Movie Tracks Jacksons Complicated Rise To Superstardom, Where He Came From, How It Shaped Him, The Impact He Made On Pop Culture, And Most Importantly, Who The Man In The Mirror Really Is.

Flex Alexander's affecting performance in the lead role lifts Man in the Mirror, an account of the troubled, turbulent adult life of Michael Jackson. And a grim, melodramatic, and sometimes way over-the-top tale it is, as the film chronicles the litany of catastrophes visited on Jackson since Thriller turned him into the self-proclaimed King of Pop. It's all here: the Jehovah's Witnesses' horrified reaction to the supposedly blasphemous "Thriller" video (a disclaimer was added at their behest); the filming of the Pepsi commercial during which Jackson's hair caught on fire; the constant hectoring and bullying by his father, Joseph Jackson, and his subsequent alienation from his family; his many cosmetic surgeries; the debacle that was his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley; the controversial incident when he dangled his newborn son from his Berlin hotel room window; and, of course, the ongoing allegations of child molestation (to their credit, the filmmakers are fairly circumspect about the latter, neither condemning nor exonerating him). Through it all, Alexander plays Jackson as a true innocent, guileless and easily manipulated, wondering how the world can be so wicked ("What's wrong with love?" is a frequent refrain), and yet essentially kind, likable, and devoted to his fans. Alexander has Jackson's voice down, as well as some of his dance moves, and if Man in the Mirror contains no actual Jackson songs or realistic performance footage, well, that's life in the low-budget world of made-for-TV movies (it originally aired in 2004 on VH-1). Man in the Mirror hardly qualifies as great art, but in the end, it's nothing more, or less, than diverting, voyeuristic good fun. --Sam Graham
