Elizabeth Taylor who has often tweeted on the passing of her good friend, Michael Jackson, has taken to Twitter to discuss MJ and the film, 'This Is It' which she watched at a private screening. In days prior, news broke that Taylor led a standing ovation after watching the film. According to the report, Taylor wasn't alone while watching the film. Boyfriend Jason Winters, Taylor's son Christopher Wilding, daughter-in-law Margie, hair stylist Jose Ebe and Miko Brando, son of late actor Marlon and close friend of Jackson's were also reportedly in attendance.
In a series of tweets on her Twitter account, Taylor encourages everyone to watch 'This Is It' more than once, and to really understand that we lived during a time when we saw genius. Among the things Taylor said:
I truly believe this film should be nominated in every category conceivable.
You see in front of your eyes Michael's genius blossoming on this piece of film thanks to Kenny Ortega and his crews.
I hope I don't sound condescending. I'm sure you already know what I'm talking about, but go to see it again and again.
I loved genius in my lifetime. God was so good to me. I will love Michael forever and so will you, if you don't already.
You owe it to yourselves and your loved ones to see this again and again. Memorize it and say to yourselves, "I saw genius in my lifetime"
To say he was a genius seems so little. I wish my vocabulary encompassed what I feel.
God blessed him and squandered nothing, but loved it all. Michael knew how to put together every tone, every nuance to make magic.
And we have this piece of film to remind us forever and ever that once there was such a man. God kissed him.
I wept from pure joy at his God given gift. There will never, ever be the likes of him again.
To say the man is a genius is an understatement. He cradles each note, coaxes the music to depths beyond reality.
It is the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen. It cements forever Michael's genius in every aspect of creativity.
I was honored with the great privilege of seeing "This Is It" last week. I was sworn to secrecy, but now I can let you know about it.
