Main Body
The movie had a problem with a legal rule. A man named Jordan Chandler said Michael Jackson did bad things to him in 1993. The movie could not show him. So the movie had to remove the last part.

Critics do not like the movie. They say it is not deep. They say it is only about money. But audiences like the movie. 96% of audience scores are good. The movie will make $140 to $150 million in its first weekend. So critics and audiences have very different opinions. Experts talk about why the movie left out bad things. One expert says leaving out problems makes the story incomplete. Another says the movie tells a false story, not the truth. A PR expert says leaving out hard parts changes people's memory. Another says time makes people forget bad things. A Gen Z expert says people separate easy things from hard things. Michael Jackson is dead, so there is no danger now. Dan Reed made a documentary about Michael Jackson. He says the movie's success shows people do not care that he hurt children. He says some media help the Jackson family because they want money. The Jackson family says all bad things are not true. A court said Michael Jackson was not guilty.
