A key point in “Leaving Neverland” is that people are readily blinded by the trappings of stardom and power, especially when those trappings are extended to us in the guise of friendship. That’s especially true when the abuser is a celebrity.

One of the most important insights of our ongoing #MeToo-era discourse is how quickly we can fixate on the accused and neglect their accusers how, in our rush to excoriate abusers, we so readily forget the plight of survivors.
LEAVING NEVERLAND STREAMING MOVIE
A high-profile late addition to the festival lineup, the project had been referred to in passing as “the Michael Jackson documentary” or “the Michael Jackson sex abuse documentary,” an example of the kind of blunt descriptive shorthand that often affixes itself to individual titles in a crowded program.īut after sitting through Reed’s nearly four-hour movie in its entirety, the idea of describing it in such terms feels faintly obscene.
LEAVING NEVERLAND STREAMING FULL
The first full day of the Sundance Film Festival began with the world premiere of “Leaving Neverland,” Dan Reed’s shattering two-part documentary in which two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, describe the years of childhood sexual abuse they endured by one of the world’s most celebrated musicians. He will be writing about the movies he’s seeing, the trends he’s observing and what it all means for an event that officially kicks off the year in new independent cinema. If you watch things like that, it's easy to fool you.Times film critic Justin Chang is keeping a regular diary over the course of a week at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. Nothing being processed in their brains other than EXACTLY what they see on screen. There's nothing going on in their heads when watching. There is NO defense point of view at all in the documentary, etc. The people involved seemed to have no issues with keeping all those "secrets" to themselves for years, until, how convenient, someone offered them huge amounts of money to speak about the top on cameras. There is absolutely NO proof or evidence of anything that's stated in these videos. Every single moment of this 4 hour documentary was a one-sided, perfectly tailored story meant to pull on specific strings of specific types of people, and it obviously manages to do that. It's completely irrelevant whether MJ was guilty or not, I'm talking about the self-proclaimed law experts jumping to conclusions based on what they're told by people who are GETTING PAYED HUGE SUMS OF MONEY to speak into a camera. If you take this documentary seriously, then you just have a weak intellect, that's the bottom line. Everything that may sway the viewer into the opposite direction is not shown, and therefore these idiots watching the documentary completely ignore the fact that the whole other side of the story exists. They completely ignore the fact that what they're seeing is ONLY A PART of the whole story and that what they're seeing is SHOWN TO THEM BY SOMEONE WHO WANTS THEM TO ONLY SEE SPECIFIC PARTS of the entire story, the parts that will make the viewer form a certain opinion. It just seems that people nowadays are extremely dumb and will fall for anything they see on the screen just because it makes sense BASED ON what they're seeing. Look at the american media in general and how they manage to brainwash an entire nation with close to no effort. As I've said already in the title, this documentary is aimed at the people with double-digit IQ's who have literally no ability for critical thinking and absolutely no way of recognizing patterns and when someone is trying to sell them something, even when it's done in an incredibly obvious way. I DON'T KNOW whether he is guilty or not, but what pisses me off are all these hordes stupid people who act like they DO KNOW, ABSOLUTELY 100% DO KNOW that he is guilty JUST based on this documentary, and that's tragic, because this documentary is one the best examples of brainwashing done right. I went into watching this documentary without any personal attachments or expectations, just sheer curiosity due to everyone talking about it.

Why didn't all these abused people sue MJ when he was alive? Why were they quit all this time? I was never a big MJ fan, I think he was highly overrated as an artist, but then again I was never really a pop music fan. This is a typical case of "guilty until proven innocent", except the person accused is dead and has no way of proving their innocence, which just makes this whole deal more disgusting. If you delivered this documentary to a court of law and presented it as evidence, any judge in the world would piss himself laughing and show you the door out, because you have no case, you just have claims without proof.
