I watched it Monday night when it was shown here though I didn`t really intend to. I had been watching a programme on tv and after that had finished I went in the kitchen to make some tea and then went back intending to turn off the tv. The Micheal Jackson thing had just started and I got sort of caught by it, I stood for a minute, then sat and ended up watching the whole thing.
In the begining when he was telling about his childhood I felt so sorry for him, in fact I got tears in my eyes. Then it went on to Netherland and his spending spree, and I thought, well, no taste in the buying and the funfair stuff is weird, but who knows if I had that sort of money, I may get a zoo in my backyard too.
When it came to his children though, that is where it got disturbing, the trip to the zoo, the masks, the dangling and the feeding of the baby with the veil on...I have no doubt he loves his kids but..... to me it is so past normal it is frightening.
The children visiting and staying over? I think the visiting is fine, the kids have a good time but the staying over is not fine. It may be all as innocent as Micheal says, I believe that he believes it is, but no, to me, innocent or not, it is just not the right thing to do.
I think he is a man who lives in his own little world and does not have much grip on reality, which is okay, who cares!? But what about his children? They are lost to reality because of their father, how are they ever to grow and make a life and family of their own? Maybe he plans to keep them childlike forever, just as he is trying to do with himself.
