The documentaty is covering the life of Michael Jackson from his Jackson 5 days to the release of his first solo album : «Off The Wall».

Throughout the whole movie, you could hear testimonies, live interviews and see iconic pictures of the king of pop during his journey to discover himself as a man, as an artist and as the most iconic entertainer of our era. The documentary was intense because it covered so many aspects of his life that were not brought to the spotlight until now and especially when we think about the fact that Michael Jackson died with so much controversy around his life story. Here are 5 things that we learned from this amazing documentary.

Video Recap Of «FROM MOTOWN TO OFF THE WALL» At The Montreal Black Film Festival

#1 The Jackson 5 Had A Cartoon Dedicated To Their Group

It definitely hads more cool points to the king of pop’s legacy to know that he had his own (well not totally his own) cartoon show at such an early age.

#2 Michael Jackson Wrote Himself A Letter As A Teenager That Predicted His Future

He said his name will be known as MJ, he said he will be an actor, he said he will have his own fashion tastes, he will never give too much interviews and he also said that he will perfect the world of entertainment as we knew at the time. When you think about his style, his signature moves and powerful voice, as crazy as it seemed coming from a child, Michael did exactly what he wrote in this letter!

#3 He Didn”t Felt Sorry When He Left His Brothers To Pursue His Solo Career

We all know that the Jackson brothers got into many conflicts even though they keep it quiet as much as possible. Even in the early stages of his carreer, in this interview you can tell that Michael Jackson had a totally different vision of how to create his music and overall artistry. We can only guess that this was definitely the start of the feud in the Jackson’s clan unfortunately.

#4 Michael Jackson Inspired Kobe Bryant’s Work Ethic

Regardless of how you might feel about him,Kobe Bryant was, is and will forever be one of the greatest players to touch a ball in the history of basket-ball. The documentary revealed that Kobe had a great relationship with the king of pop and that he took many of his advices and references as a blueprint for his own carreer. It seems like Mj, throughout his whole life inspired so many people and even outside of music as you can see.

#5  Before Michael Jackson Was Michael Jackson, He Dedicated Himself To Learn Everything He Could About The Music Industry

Malefycia Is Restoring The Feeling, One Spooky Scream At A Time

Long are the days when I was cruising down the streets on October 31st either looking for candies to devour for 3 weeks straight or even as an adult looking for a popping club where I could tell people ”My costume is ME tonight”.

The truth is, I think Malefycia restored something that I thought was buried inside me. They reminded me that not only I liked Halloween but I just couldn’t find an alternative in my adult life to spark my curiosity on one side and get the thrill going on the other.

Malefycia been around for a minute but this year they’re trying something different…I mean different.

You’re familiar with the 7 sins in the bible don’t you? You’re aware of what a haunted house is supposed to be don’t you? Well, something in their team had the genius and actually vicious idea to combine these two things who might have nothing to with each other on the outside looking in but in this new adventure/haunted house experience; it all make sense!

their show called V7CE is cross theatre performance, cross the most scary thing you’ve ever seen. The show includes different scenes and interactive plays putting on the forefront the 7 sins from the bible.

What always stand out to me when it comes to Malefycia, is there raw and authentic attention to details.

Do yourself a favor and come immerse yourself in this universe and your inner child and your thrill-seeking inner adult have some fun.

The city has been quiet fashion wise over the years and as platform that mostly talked about fashion in its inception, we’ve felt it the most over here.

There would be sparks of hope here and there but besides Festival De Mode & Design, not a lot of things really stood out.

When I heard about ”The Glitch” it’s like I knew what it was about without nothing what it was about.

I mean good branding is good branding but it was more so who’s behind the good branding this time around. I had the chance to work with Myraï Lavoie in the past and one thing I can is : there’s a method to her madness.

Every artist has an eye and that eye is shaped by our views of the world and life experiences. Myraï had an interesting life.

One where being different is actually the move. One where if you don’t fit somewhere, you don’t try to get in the mold, you bend it.

For all the lack of support or misunderstand she got in Montreal, she found a place to be creative working or being in room with the likes of Paris Hilton & P. Diddy to name a few.

What she’s learned from coming out of her shell and experiencing the world she’s about the share it with us with her own fashion called ”The Glitch” tonight.

”The Glitch” is exactly what I thought it was going to be. A standout experience and experience and something you’ve never seen before just like its creator.
