1
I remember
2
the very first time when I had a call with Graham King, the producer.
3
He spoke to me about it.
4
It was so early on, it was a lot to take in.
5
I'd never acted before, I'd never wanted to act,
6
so I had a lot of conflict with it because I wasn't sure if I could really do it or not.
7
So then I got with an acting coach and I really want to learn what is acting, you know, and start there before trying to embody Michael.
8
So I did that for about a year and then I started to really study Michael's videos, his lyrics, everything about him.
9
And that's when I started to embody him.
10
I just felt that the world needed to see him up the side of Michael that they can't see on YouTube.
11
And, you know, he's not been with us for a while now.
12
So it felt like this bringing him back and bringing his music back and celebrating him.
13
I could not imagine anyone else playing the part.
14
When I met Jafar, he's such a sweet spirit.
15
I could tell he had the same sort of spirit as Michael.
16
But when he started to perform, that kind of blew my mind because he's never done it before.
17
It all started with the set list of songs because we can start anywhere.
18
But I think when we got the script
19
and we had a breakdown of each song that was being presented in the film, we sort of, that was our starting point.
20
From that point, you know, it was just about figuring out how to start, which was with the foundation, and just knowing how to build from there.
21
And then also a lot of studying, a lot of homework, a lot of research, and we studied, you know, us three, me, my brother,
22
and Jafar would just sit at a computer and just watch Michael Jackson performances
23
all day and then we would pause and just we would just have conversations
24
and to see how he would articulate what he's watching because Michael would learn by watching the television.
25
That's right.
26
He never went to a dance studio so we wanted to make sure Jafar was
27
fully equipped with knowing how to pick up with learning from his watching.
28
I collected a large archival of footage I gather from YouTube
29
and any other websites of all the dancing and even just off camera.
30
He didn't realize he was on camera, like just in a conversational setting.
31
And I used that to really immerse myself and dissect everything in that way.
32
And then just allowed that to kind of channel through me.
33
I spent a year just researching and going into the archives and reading his private notes to himself, interviewing his brothers and his family, trying to get some insights.
34
And also, I was a huge fan.
35
I mean, Thriller came out the year I graduated from college, and in Chicago, it, like, changed the world.
36
So, you know, I never got tired of that.
37
It came out of nowhere, really.
38
When Graham King called me about directing it, I wasn't thinking about directing a Michael movie.
39
I'm excited that he did.
40
But, yeah, it's important to me.
41
I think Michael's legacy is important to keep alive.
42
I think any great artist like that that's given us so much, we should try to learn a little bit more about it.
43
And this is an opportunity to do that.
44
Watching Jafar stepping into the loafers.
45
Well, you know what?
46
That's something that we used against him a lot.
47
It was part of our secret weapon.
48
It was like, OK, do you think it's good enough?
49
Do you think it's good enough?
50
But what do you think your uncle think is good enough?
51
Do you think Michael think it's good enough?
52
You know what I mean?
53
And then it got quiet.
54
And then it got quiet.
55
And you know what I'm saying?
56
But like, it's just surreal to see him.
57
You know, he's a Jackson, obviously.
58
And what amazing family to come from, to be a part of that bloodline, the Jackson bloodline.
59
That's excellence, that's black excellence of America.
60
All we wanted to do was to honor and celebrate Michael.
61
You're going to see the process in which he took from becoming a young child star to becoming an adult star.
62
And I think, you know, the difference between us and him is that he had millions and millions of people watching him
63
as he was trying to go through the process of self-discovery, which is difficult for everyone.
64
And so the story is told from his point of view.
65
You really are inside of his mind watching the film, and I think that that's super important and amazing, and something new.
66
And that's the story that Graham King and Antoine Foucault set out to tell.
67
I think it's a blessing that I still will figure out later in my life
68
about exactly what I've been experiencing with Jafar.
69
He is divine.
70
He is love.
71
He is spirit.
72
He is dance.
73
He is truly the only one that could have played Michael in this film.
74
It's interesting.
75
I think the young generation are going to see a side of Michael they've never seen before.
76
They know him from the bad era on.
77
And we're going back to the roots into Gary, Indiana.
78
And I think the young generation are going to learn a lot about Michael that they didn't know.
79
You know, it was the performances, it was, you know, Motown 25 when he did Billie Jean, and suddenly you saw the moonwalk for the first time.
80
You know, and also just his personal story, because I think that's what's so rewarding for audiences, is they've seen great performances,
81
but they get to find out who Michael Jackson actually was and what his struggles were.
82
The concert scenes alone are incredible.
83
Like, if you never got a chance to see Mike in concert, this is as close as you're gonna get.
84
Jafar is out of this world, and Giuliano as well.
85
And those moments in between, you know, those little quiet moments in between, you get sort of a peek behind the veil and see the man, the humanity behind the icon.
86
I had a research book, over 800 pages, of just Michael's looks and the Jackson 5.
87
It was very important for me to replicate what was available to me in current day, as far as fabric, but even down to the rhinestones,
88
even the socks and the gloves.
89
And so I like to say his spirit kind of guided me through LA to find certain things
90
that allowed me to recreate his look almost to a T.
91
It's a spectacle.
92
It is an epic story with, you know, as loud as you could play it on the widest possible screen to see those performances
93
and to see him explode the way he exploded in life.
94
That's the way Michael would want you to see it, so you can feel that magic and I think it's important to get immersed in it through the big screen,
95
through the big sound and especially with the performances but also those little moments where you want to see that, the emotion in the eyes so you can only get that on the big screen.

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は？
このビデオは、マイケル・ジャクソンの映画の制作過程を描いています。登場人物が自身の経験や感情を語る中で、実際の演技や表現力の重要性が強調されています。このような実際のインタビューや制作の裏側を体験することで、あなたはリアルな対話の感覚をつかむことができます。話す練習を通じて、自信を持って表現力豊かな英語を話す能力が向上し、特に感情を込めた表現ができるようになります。英語の発音を良くするための良い練習材料でもあり、特に「shadowspeak」や「shadow speak」といった手法を使うことで、自然な言い回しを学ぶことができます。
文法と表現の文脈
このビデオで使用されるいくつかの重要な文法構造と表現を以下に挙げます：
- 「I had a lot of conflict with it」 - 「それに対して多くの葛藤があった」といった表現は、内面的な葛藤を表す際に非常に有効です。
- 「I could not imagine anyone else playing the part」 - これは強い感情を伝えるための表現で、他の選択肢が考えられないという決意を示しています。
- 「It felt like this bringing him back」 - これにより、復活させるという行為の感情的な側面が強調されます。
これらの表現は、特定の状況における思いや感情をより明確に伝える手助けとなります。特に「shadow speech」の技法を使用して、これらのフレーズを他のシチュエーションに応じて練習することが重要です。
一般的な発音の罠
このビデオ内で注意が必要な発音のポイントはいくつかあります：
- 「Michael」 - 「マイケル」と発音する際に、アクセントと音節の強調に注意が必要です。
- 「performance」 - この単語は、「パフォーマンス」ときちんと発音することで、自信を持って伝えることができます。
- 「legacy」 - 「レガシー」と発音する際には、最後の「cy」の部分がやや難しいかもしれません。ゆっくりと練習し、しっかりと発音することで、他の人にも理解されやすくなります。
これらの言葉やフレーズを「shadowspeaks」の手法で練習し、リスニングと発音を向上させることが、英会話のスキルを一段階引き上げる鍵となります。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
