Anyone watched this? I thought it was really well done. So gut-wrenching to see him in the throes of such an awful disease, but joyful to see that twinkle still in his eyes and the sense of mischief.

I thought the way they cut clips from his films into him telling the story of his life was very clever.

Hey, I watched this last night and cried loads as I can relate to it so much.

I have a medication induced neurological involuntary movement disorder called tardive dyskinesia that was caused by some prescribed off label antipsychotic during a breakdown. This was after a head injury and post concussion syndrome. It's a bit like Tourette's and Parkinson's disease combined.

I thought the film was brilliant and Michael is my hero even more now. He was so stoical, so humble, so philosophical. He inspires me to keep going when I get overwhelmed with how my body doesn't work at all and when my involuntary movements are too much.

Life is so hard and unfair for some people like him. I think he's done brilliantly in spite of all his tribulations. I loved the film 💖🥺💖

I’m sorry to hear of your health issues @NooNooHead1981.

I’m glad you found the film a good watch, I agree he seems very humble I’m not sure I’d be so “at peace” in his situation.
