This DVD is also symbolic of the ingenuity of Michael Jackson because one can see, in retrospect, how advanced he was. I LOVE the Michael Jackson History video because it is an important part of the history of music videos this DVD includes some of the first music videos recorded and one can appreciate the technological advancements we have made in today's world. Michael Jackson "History" DVD-A Teacher's Thoughts The formula is: ordinary Michael appears, ordinary Michael is transformed into something magical, magical Michael gyrates in front of a line of chorus boys, magical Michael turns back into ordinary Michael, and the world is supposed to be a better place. But starting especially with the nearly hysterical Bad, all he was able to do next was to repeat the same formula again and again.
What a collection! Thriller actually turned out to be a lot of fun, mostly because even Michael didn't seem to be taking himself too seriously back then. Thriller, Billy Jean, Bad, Black or White, and Save the World are all there. Never having seen a Michael Jackson video before, I was understandably curious, and since Porter told the story of how the video was put together as damage control following MJ's first trial and his crumbling marriage with Lisa Marie, it seemed like a good way to take a look. I bought this after reading Darwin Porter's tell-all biography, Jacko: His Rise and Fall.
