The story of Soeur Sourire was not familiar at all to me before I saw the movie, so I had no expectations when I went to see it. The story was astonishing but what struck me the most was the amazing character of Jeannine. She was too passionate for this world en destroyed everyone around here searching for this passion. The fact that she was loved and adored till death by Anne gave the movie another, more touching character, which remained with me for several days. In the other comment I read Stijn Coninx somewhat distorted the real story, but this did not spoil my tender feelings for the way the characters of Jeannine and Anne were portrayed. Jan Decleir, Jeannines father, was great in silence. Respect.

This Is It
(2009)
Interesting movie
17 November 2009
Not being a MJ fan, I accompanied my wife, who was (and in fact still is) a dedicated fan. Seeing the man at work resolved a lot of my prejudice toward Michael. He was talented, hard at work, creating a great show.
I was more amazed by the people around him. Get real! He's a talented figure, but still just a man. In the entire movie I heard no one saying 'No' to him, or discussing his ideas or just treating him like a normal human being. No wonder he developed a strange way of presenting himself in the media and getting a smeared image, with all these plastic people around him. Quite a pity.
Another thing struck me. MJ developed over the years a habit of creating a spectacular show with funny moves, spectacular gadgets and a lot of dancers, musicians etcetera. Why did he do that? Was he afraid to be in the front position, to be alone on stage? He had talent and personality enough to do just that...
Anyway, a movie worth seeing together with my (sniffing) wife; if I had to go alone I would have waited for broadcast on TV.
