Why we picked it
Our first event will be biographical film *Michael*, which chronicles the life and legacy of the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson. Ever controversial and deeply polarising, Michael Jackson’s impact on music and pop culture is undeniable — his influence continues to shape artists and audiences across generations. The film is directed by Antoine Fuqua (*Training Day*), written by John Logan (*Gladiator*), and produced by Graham King, who previously produced the Oscar-winning Freddie Mercury biopic *Bohemian Rhapsody*. It traces Jackson’s journey from his early fame with the Jackson 5 to his rise as a global solo superstar, aiming to present a “humanised but not sanitised” portrait of his life — balancing his extraordinary artistic legacy with the controversies that surrounded him. I'm sitting in K-17 and there are tonnes of seats left around me and the row behind. tickets- https://villagecinemas.com.au/order/seats?cinemaId=023&sessionId=379566
