If you asked me who the greatest artist is for me, my answer would have been: Michael Jackson! 

I repeat this after watching the biographical film dedicated to him, which is recently being shown in Tirana and in cinemas around the world, a brilliant and very emotional achievement. I think it would not have been like this if his role, at first glance "impossible", had not been brilliantly played by an artist who has his genes, namely the nephew Jaafar Jackson, the son of Michael's brother, Jermaine Jackson, who in this performance brought his rare energy with a very similar appearance and facial expressions.

The film "Michael" dedicated to the "King of Pop" is a touching human story that sheds light on his early past, with his difficult childhood due to his abusive father, with the band "Jackson 5", where he performed with his brothers and when at the age of 5 he became known to 100 million people. To the best-selling solo albums in music history with absolute records and concerts with huge audiences around the world.

I won't describe the film, which I would recommend to everyone to watch. But I want to highlight another side of the coin. That of the cruel and unjust world that surrounds talents in every field and in every era.

Perhaps artists of this magnitude are born only once. They seem to have made a secret pact with God or the Universe, and no matter how much we other humans try in inhuman ways, we will never be able to undo the mark of someone who was born to make the world more beautiful.

And when such talents arise, the rest of us are simply lucky to have lived as their contemporaries or simply as cognizant of their transformative influence through the power of talent.
The value system or lack thereof in our societies, from family roots to the people around us, is present throughout the entire life cycle where feelings, dreams, education, destiny, career, and challenges float.

Perhaps the reason why great artists have the natural generosity to share their gift with the people of the world through the universal language of art, to influence humanity thanks to the power of their unique talent. They enrich it with irreplaceable colors and with eternal meanings and memories. At the same time, they contrast good and evil, giving us the chance to make a clear distinction between the two worlds. 

The icon of Michael Jackson still inspires today with the brilliance of his inimitable talent, and every time his wonderful art is heard and enjoyed, it will remind us that life is very barren without art and true artists.

As he himself said shortly before he left this life to live forever, "The world would not have so much injustice, crime, war and terrorism if every child were not robbed of their childhood."
