Just Leave Me Alone



When I was little I think I watched this music video a gazillion times.
I thought Micheal Jackson was cool and I loved animals and weird
stuff so this music video fit me to a tee. I especially loved the "shrine
to Elizabeth Taylor" and that he destroys everything in the end.

I think this may have become my standard for judging all other
music videos ^^;

  1. I liked MJ too when I was little and I first saw this music video in his movie "Moonwalker" and to be honest...it scared the heck outta me! XD
    I don't know why but it did.
    Although it did make the young me inquire as to just exactly who Elizabeth Taylor was and I found one of my favorite movies from that search.
    Cleopatra! XD

  2. Really is scared you?! I will admit that certain aspects unnerved me as a child. There was a feeling of despair that, as a youth, I was unable to articulate.

    Which now I understand is the director's effort, using symbols and images, to CONVEY the despair and oppression of being turned into a...spectacle.

    And I never saw Cleopatra! But I loved "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" I've only ever seen her in two other movies ("Suddenly, Last Summer" and "Taming of the Shrew) but that one is probably my favorite.
