Jackson 5の頃のマイケルが、今のような奇妙奇天烈な人間になってしまうなんて想像できたでしょうか?この頃のマイケルは瞳にあどけなさと夢が感じられますよね。入った世界が彼をこうしてしまったのか、それともスターであるが故の孤独が彼の精神と肉体を蝕んで行ったのか。アタシには刹那を感じてなりません。
と、シミジミ語ったところで、マイケルの変貌を。まずはJackson5の頃。確かに歴とした黒人Boyですね。めちゃめちゃカワイイです。そして現在。あれ?右は何かって?親戚か何かじゃないですか?(笑)多分ホントで、多分ウソです。右は「猿の惑星」のヘレナ・ボトム・カーターです。しかし、兄弟のようですねぇ。3番目?これアタシはシカゴの現代美術館で見たんですよ。陶器なんですよ。しかもデッカイし。ひとつその時も今も思ったのはですね、相棒のバブルスですよ!バブルスって何?サルです、マイケルがこよなく愛していたサルです。バブルスは一説によると焼死したんだとか。焼死したサルを陶器でオーナー(まいける)と共に再現するってのは残酷・・・とシカゴで初めて見た私は現代アートを解釈したのですが、実際のところ、そんな深い意味はあるんだかないんだか(謎)
The 1st image is when he belonged to Jackson 5. How many people could predict his future as he is now? Look at his adorable face, and his eyes were shining. Yea... it's kinda sad. I dunno what things affected him and eventually made him be crazy, creepy, and weird.
ANYWAY, I wanna talk 'bout his metamorphosis a little bit. Well, obviously, his skin was much more brown than now, and it's very natural looking. But look at the 2nd one. Oh no... that's very pathetic. What? What's the next to him? Oh, it's his relative, I think. Haa haa, just kiddin'. It's Helena Bonham Carter in "Planet of The Apes" (Tim Burton version). Yea, they look like an indentical twins, don't they? The 3rd one is my favorite, actually. I saw this Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago 5year ago. The Mr. Monkey is Bubbles, Michael's beloved monkey. According to the rumor, Bubbles was burned to death. And ironically, this modern art is ceramic. The burned down monkey was reborn as a ceramic. Yes, yes, yes! He came back from FIRE!!! What the heck??? Hopefully my interpretation is right★
