I watched the first half yesterday, and I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. This is a film (not a documentary which would mean it's impartial) featuring two guys claiming they were abused. If we were forced to take their claims at face value, we must conclude guilt, but there is no reason to take what they said at face value. I'll watch the second half this week but so far, this is the best take on the entire film I've heard:
Based on the above video, Wade can't be trusted no matter what he says.
Both men seem rehearsed, contrived, and unemotional. Their stories are a bit fantastic - experience sexual abuse while their parents are in a hotel room down the hall. This makes MJ seem both calculating yet immensely sloppy simultaneously. Any mention of indiscretions by either kid, even by mistake, and his tour would have been toast.
Near the end of the first half it does seem like the men and their families felt hurt and abandoned by MJ as they were replaced with new kids (Caulkin, Brett - both claim MJ was a good guy, with Brett apparently threatening to sue HBO) as props/gimmicks for his shows. They had grown to love MJ because he was like a child (one mother describes him as being another one of her sons) and he allowed them to experience the high life on his dime.
I'm still agnostic about his innocence or guilt but a movie like this is unlikely to sway rational minds. Why have a judicial system at all if people can come back, without evidence, only their words, and make claims against you, especially if you're not around to debunk them.
