Plot Synopsis for This is It
According to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB), this documentary is “a compilation of interviews, rehearsals and backstage footage of Michael Jackson as he prepared for his series of sold-out shows in London.” The performances in London were to be the beginning of a series of 50 performances at London’s O2 arena, starting on July 13, 2009. This series of shows was intended to jump start the performer's comeback, with hopes of it possibly turning into a three-year world-wide tour.
It's possible that the show Jackson was rehearsing was intended to be the piece de resistance of his career. A news article from the movie’s official website adds, “....Michael Jackson's This is It captures the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, creative genius, and great artist at work as he creates and perfects his final show.”
Much of the footage comes from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, which incidentally hosted his widely televised memorial service. Jackson died of cardiac arrest on June 25, 2009 after he was found not breathing in his home in Los Angeles. At this time, his death is being ruled a homicide.
