How to spot a lie—Kenny Ortega Part 4

Here is a more recent interview with Kenny Ortega: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdKbXZng89g. It is from February 2010 by Lovefilm.com.

This is what I see:

0:05 Throughout this part he keeps shaking his head “no”. He says it was made for the fans, and then he shakes his head “no”. He says it was made for their depth to understand and appreciate what Michael was doing was doing with the show, and then he shakes his head “yes”. The real interesting part is when he says Michael set out to do a show, and then shakes his head “no”, but then stops when he says it was for the fans. I’ve always said that I believe This Is It was never meant to be a concert show, that it was meant to be a movie, and it seems like Kenny Ortega agrees.

0:35-0:50 I’m not sure what to make of this part. He shakes his head “yes”, then “no”, and then he shrugs. Maybe he believes that the film won’t show what all the goals were. Later, though, he says he hopes fans see what went into the development while shaking his head “yes”, so I’m not sure what to make of the head shake “no” and the shrug.

1:25 He says, “This wasn’t a project I set out to do”, while he shakes his head “yes”. He then continues shaking his head while he says, “Certainly, This Is It was.” What other projects are we talking about? Concert vs. movie? Whatever project he said he did not set out to do, he really did according to his head shake.

Believe.
