Brief review: "Earth Song" is considered by many to be the best music video Michael Jackson has ever shot. Michael Jackson plays a lost savior in the film. He weeps for the environment that has been destroyed by humans, the wild animals that have been innocently slaughtered, and the world that has been devastated by war. The most shocking and dramatic scenes of the film appear at the end: everywhere The traumatized people joined Michael Jackson in calling for divine power in an ancient and strange ritual on the scorched earth. Mother Earth finally responded. In the howling wind, lightning and thunder, and in Michael Jackson's almost desperate scream, the dead are resurrected and all things are reborn... The music video uses a reverse camera shooting technique to complete something on the screen that can never be realized in reality. Dreamland. This innocent and sensational short film caused a stir in the world. However, the real way to save this world, which is already full of crises, lies in mankind's own awakening, immediate action and unremitting efforts.
