They cage the animals at night

Una dintre cartile preferate ale lui Michael (desi mi se pare greu sa alegi o astfel de carte, si banuiesc ca Michael a avut mai mult), pare a fi They cage the animals at night, scrisa de Jennings Michael Burch. Informatiile de pe Wikipedia sunt foarte putine, dar aflam ca Jennings Michael Burch a avut o copilarie dureroasa, mama sa lasandu-l, din cauza greutatilor la casa de plasament, dar de-a lungul timpului acestea au devenit 32 la numar. Acesta s-a mutat de multe ori si a fost plasat multor familii adoptive, singurul prieten fiindu-i un catel din plus numit Doggie.

Michael a fost invitat la Neverland in, iar Michael Jackson i-a luat un mic interviu.

Se pare ca parte la aceasta intalnire a fost alt Michael adica si Bryan Stoller.
Un alt prieten al lui Michael; cel care a scris scenariul filmului Cast Away, in care apare si Michael, Miss Cast Away, si autorul cartii "Filmmaking for Dummies".

“Miss Castaway” Bryan's comedy feature film in the style of “Airplane” and “Scary Movie” stars Academy Nominee Eric Roberts and Pop-icon Michael Jackson as "Agent M.J., and is currently at Blockbuster Video and Netflix

.

Lasand la o parte filmul si pe domnul Stoller, din pacate lucrurile bune sunt in bucatele mici, asa cum este si interviul de mai sus. Oricat de mult ai purica Google, in lung si-n lat nu gasesti mai mult de atat (iar daca mai exista o continuare a interviului, filmata, de ce a fost aceasta parte cu aceasta intrebare aleasa pentru publicare), iar asta ma face sa ma gandesc ca, discutia a fost mult mai mare, si totodata, si mai interesanta, asta se poate vedea si in secventa forte emotionanta de mai sus, dar cred ca nici unul dintre participanti nu a vrut camere in nas si fire agatate de haine, ci mai degraba o discutie deschisa intre doi oameni care au in comun o copilarie afectata de decizile parintilor, despre greutatile fiecarei copilarii si dorinta de a deveni ceva in viata. Si ambii au demonstrat ca se poate. Pacat, pentru noi, ca nu putem vedea discutia in intregime. Ori este inexistenta inregistrarea video, ori foarte bine ascunsa, si cum nu are nimic din chirurgie plastica, animale salbatice sau alta tema senzationala, nu prea a interesat pe nimeni. Poate daca stam cuminti, va aparea la un moment si alte parti ale interviului.

Revenind la Bryan Michael Stoller, dupa articolul Michael Jackson's Unrealized Dream: Career in the Film Industry, Michael ar fi dorit sa ecranizeze aceasta carte.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that three months before Jackson’s June 25th death, the singer had signed on to put up $8 million and co-direct an indie film about foster kids to be titled They Cage the Animals at Night that was based on a book by Jennings Michael Burch. Writer/director Bryan Michael Stoller tells the Reporter Jackson felt close to the story because his own childhood was tumultuous: “Michael told me often he felt like he grew up as an orphan, like a foster kid, because he never was in one home. To him every hotel was like a different foster home. He said he used to sit in the window and see kids playing outside and cry because he couldn’t be part of that.”
Though Jackson insiders deny the singer had an official agreement to work on the film, Stoller says Jackson brought author Burch to Neverland for an interview, which Stoller filmed and is looking to release now. The writer/director adds he and Jackson watched many movies together at Neverland, and To Kill a Mockingbird was the star’s favorite.

Filmuletul exista, intalnirea dintre cei trei Michael la fel, dar nu stim daca cei doi mai tineri erau asa de buni prieteni sau daca planuiau asa ceva impreuna. Dar, daca luam in considerare Miss Cast Away cine stie...

"I dream of belonging to someone. You know, have them to took me in bed and kiss me goodnight. It's dumb, I know, but I dream about it sometimes."
