Liz Taylor: 'This Is It' Is The Single Most Brilliant Piece of Filmmaking

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 27th 2009 02:21PM

Although Michael Jackson's family is staying hush about the new documentary 'This Is It,' his long-time friend Elizabeth Taylor hasn't been able to quit talking about the film on Twitter. In a series of tweets, Taylor said, "It is the single most brilliant piece of film making I have ever seen. It cements forever Michael's genius in every aspect of creativity," she said.

"To say the man is a genius is an understatement. He cradles each note, coaxes the music to depths beyond reality. I wept from pure joy at his God given gift. 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. God kissed him," she added.

"God blessed him and squandered nothing, but loved it all. Michael knew how to put together every tone, every nuance to make magic... To say he was a genius seems so little. I wish my vocabulary encompassed what I feel," she continued.

"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.'"

"If you listen to his lyrics they are those of a modern day prophet and it beseeches us to listen to him and what he sang... From 'Black And White', 'Man In The Mirror'. The inspiration behind 'We Are The World'. We must take his words of responsibility seriously," she added.

Sending praises to 'This Is It' director Kenny Ortega, Taylor continues, "Kenny Ortega did a masterful job of directing the process that goes into making a complete show before hitting the stage.... From A to Z you get Michael's input on every level. Michael's genius at work with the dancers. Mr. Ortega catches Michael in his every mood."

She finally finished with one last thought: "I truly believe this film should be nominated in every category conceivable."

Give credit where credit is due and stop the hating.

So, Michael Southard, you are unemployed. Sorry about that.
Me, I"m retired military and surf the web a few hours everyday. I'm confused as to how surfing the web means that I might be unemployed. Maybe, I work the "hoot owl shift"?

my brother works in a movie theater. He said 12 people walked out during the movie. I laughed so hard. I wouldn't waste my money on any of his garbage. Liz Taylor doesn't know what talent is.

There will always be people in the world who will remember Michael. Not because he was perfect - nobody is - but because he was a talented passionate artist. And who will remember all of you, the mediocre irrelevant ones who insult Michael and Liz Taylor? Go ahead talk... God help you. There will be always mediocre, irrelevant people like you.

I went to see "This is It" yesterday. What a touching Movie.
I agree with Elizabeth on all she said about Michael.
It makes me feel good to look at something so enlightening,so dedicated work of a talent.
I will be seeing it again. Michael's huge Love for Life is so gentle.

Dear Colt,

You had better check King Michael's record my dear. He remains on top of the heap you mentioned. His fashion sense also made him a legend, perhaps you are legally blind. Hate and jealousy are not traits that breed icons. Accomplishments such as those of King Michael Joseph Jackson are what LEGENDS ARE MADE OF!!! Millions of women don't desire you huh? Perhaps next time, do not despair. But please, STFU!!!!!

To myerssh61,

You had better(let me CAP THIS OFF FOR YOU) CHECK KING MICHAEL'S RECORD MY DEAR!!!!!! He gave TONS of money to help children with Aids, Heal The World Foundation , over 300 MILLION given to charity, (LET ME CAP IT OFF FOR YOU HONEY) WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???????? Did not all the profits he made for BAD tour (which BEAT Elvis' concert sales for all of you FOOLS who THINK Elvis is greater) GO to charity? He gave, and gave, and in death is STILL giving to charity. KING MICHAEL WAS AND STILL IS A HUMANITARIAN ,GUINNESS WORLD BOOK RECORD HOLDER GIVER MY LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
