Michael Jackson is a modern-day prophet' says Elizabeth Taylor as she praises his new film on Twitter


Dame Elizabeth used Twitter to praise Michael Jackson's new film



Tweeting: Dame Elizabeth used Twitter to praise the new Michael Jackson documentary This Is It. She said his lyrics were those of a 'modern day prophet'
Premiere: A preview of This Is It was shown at the end of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards last month. The full documentary will premiere tonight

'It is the single most brilliant piece of film-making I have ever seen. It cements forever Michael's genius in every aspect of creativity.

'To say the man is a genius is an understatement. He cradles each note, coaxes the music to depths beyond reality. You owe it to yourselves and your loved ones to see this again and again.


Taylor, who recently broke the news about her minor heart surgery on Twitter, said she wished her vocabulary 'encompassed' what she felt.

'If you listen to his lyrics, they are those of a modern-day prophet and it beseeches us to listen to him and what he sang,' she wrote.

'We must take his words of responsibility seriously. We cannot let his life be in vain.'

Taylor's messages went out to her 174,526 Twitter followers. This Is It, showing Jackson's rehearsals for his planned O2 arena concerts before his death in June, has its premiere tonight in screenings worldwide, including one in Leicester Square, London.


The documentary was put together from 100 hours of footage of Jackson and his team rehearsing in Los Angeles.

But the film has already sparked a backlash from fans, who have accused the firms behind the video of hiding the stress Jackson was under before the 60 planned London shows. The star died of an overdose of prescription medicine on June 25.

The group of followers have set up a protest group in a bid to raise awareness about the true state of Jackson's health in the last few weeks of his life.

Protest website this-is-not-it.com says people should watch the film 'with different eyes', although it stops short of calling for a boycott.
