I think it would be an interesting story to hear if you could tell the true story of Michael Jackson. I think it's pretty obvious Joe Jackson beat the youth out of him and managed to replace it with being the most famous person on the planet since he could form memories. That's the type of thing that's going to create a type of person who has never existed before and may never again. However I think by being so successful for so long too many people who bought the myth ended up in his sphere making it difficult, if not impossible to get down to "the truth"
He obviously had a very complicated relationship with youth, identity, and fame. I think focusing on his doubts, internal conflicts, and personal challenges would be the more interesting movie, but probably not more profitable
