In Michael Jackson's MV, a child blows his father sitting on the sofa into the sky with a subwoofer.

Singer: Michael Jackson album: Danger.

This song is about race. Michael used this song to tell people that everyone should be equal, not racist. On MTV, Michael danced with African aborigines, then the scene switched to Thailand, western North America, Russia, India ... Finally, the car glass full of racial discrimination was broken, indicating Michael's dissatisfaction with racial discrimination and equality for all.

Introduction to singles

Black or White is about race, but it is not expressed in a serious and boring way. This song has a brisk rhythm.

At least in the song itself, Michael didn't show extreme indignation at those inequalities-although he still mentioned these facts, he completely ignored them and claimed that "I said that if you are' being my baby/it doesn't matter whether you are black or white' (I said that you want to be my lover/it doesn't matter whether you are black or white). Michael also tried to invite rappers to add color to his songs for the first time. L.T.B presented a rap in "Black or White", which inevitably criticized the darkness in society and expounded his attitude-"I don't intend to be a color all my life" (I don't live for a certain color in my life). In addition, this song has an unrelated opening overture. In the overture, the little sitcom of son and father brought joy to the public and added a relaxed tone (perhaps also disdain for racism). Of course, the overture is probably for Slash, and Slash has an improvisation in the form of a rolling stone. In the filming of the MV, Michael Jackson invited Macaulay King, the protagonist of Home alone, to give a warm family performance at the beginning of the film, and at the end of the film, he spared no expense to produce a sensational face-changing effect of all races. In short, singles and MVs are the best.

Lyrics and translation

Black or white? Black or white?

I took my children on holiday on Saturday.

The boy is the girl with you. Is this your girl?

Yes, we are one, yes, we are soul mates and become one.

Now I believe in miracles. Now I believe in miracles.

A miracle happened tonight. A miracle happened tonight.

But if you reconsider my children, but if you care about my daughter.

Whether you are black or white.

They published my news in Sunday Sun at the weekend.

I have to tell them that I'm not the best. I told them I was not the king.

I think equality is true. I firmly believe that everyone is equal.

Whether you are right or wrong, you can't change this fact.

But if you reconsider my children, but if you care about my daughter.

Whether you are black or white.

I'm tired of this devil. I'm tired of this fallacy.

I'm tired of these things.

I'm tired of this.

Try hard when you encounter difficulties, and you can only make up for them when it is too late.

I'm not afraid of your brother or your partner.

I'm not afraid of tabloid gossip.

I'm not afraid of anyone.

Girl, when everything becomes mean, baby, as long as everything makes sense.

[Los Angeles Times rap]

The protection of gangs, clubs and countries gangs, society and countries go their own way.

Causing sadness in interpersonal relationships, interpersonal relationships are constantly being traumatized.

This is a global territorial war, which is a world-class regional war.

I'd rather listen to both sides of the story.

Look, it's not about race. It's not about race.

It's just places. Faces are just about faces and places.

Where does your blood come from to understand your blood relationship?

Where is your space? Know your location.

I see the light getting dimmer, and I see the light fading.

I won't make a color all my life. I don't live for one color in my life.

[Michael]

Don't tell me you agree with me. Don't say you agree with me.

When I saw that you were still maliciously slandering me, you kicked dirt in my eyes.

But if you reconsider my children, but if you care about my daughter.

Whether you are black or white.

I said if you reconsider being my child, I said if you want to be my child.

Whether you are black or white.

I said if you want to be my brother, I said if you want to be my brother.

Whether you are black or white.

It's black, it's white, it's black and it's white.

They are hard to survive and hard to find.

It's black, it's white, it's black and it's white.

It's black, it's white, it's black and it's white.

They are hard to survive and hard to find.

It's black, it's white, it's black and it's white.

The last 4 minutes of choreography: Michael Jackson

The main actors: Michael Jackson, macaulay culkin, George Wendt, bart simpson and Homer Simpson.

Awards: International Pioneer Award "Best Special Music Video" and NAACP "Outstanding Music Video Award"

Note: Music videos were deleted because of a large number of controversial scenes involving sex and violence. In addition, there are two versions of Panther at the end of the music video: one with racial slogans written on cars and windows, and the other without slogans. They were included in the DVD released later.

Comments: The film premiered in 27 countries on June 5438+09911114. It is estimated that a total of 500 million people watched the film, setting a record for music video ratings. Only a few hours after the premiere, this music video became the headline news all over the world. Violent and suggestive scenes in music videos triggered a critical storm. In particular, parents are particularly dissatisfied with Michael's violence and simulated masturbation in the second half. Michael's spokesman later explained that Michael's dance part only wanted to describe and interpret the wildness and animality of the panther. Finally, Michael agreed to shorten the last four minutes and made a statement. But the sensation caused by this music video is not only the last Panther part, but also the "face-changing" stunt used for the first time in the music video. Prior to this, this technology was only used in two movies.

The film begins with Macaulay King, the protagonist of Alone, blowing up his father with a guitar. Then we saw Michael dancing with African aborigines, and then the scene was switched to Thailand, western North America … Michael jumped halfway around the world in his unique way. The most interesting scene is that he is with a beautiful Indian dancer. The dancer's graceful dance is very consistent with Michael's own dance. At a magical moment, you may even guess that something romantic will happen between them. But he soon flew to Russia and danced with a group of Cossacks ... Finally, we saw the famous "face changing" part. Then we were dragged to the reality-the shooting scene. A camera caught Michael wandering alone, and we saw him turn into a panther and sneak out of the studio to the block.

The first part of Black and White seems to show us an "innocent" side-a Michael accepted by the whole society. The second part reveals a "dark" anti-social Michael. This part has achieved the effect of stirring up a thousand waves with one stone-causing great controversy. Later, the paragraph was also deleted from the radio broadcast, but it still appeared in the later released music video version.

This passage encourages us to believe that we are about to see a pure Michael. He dances in the street at night ... no supporting role, no accompaniment, no harmony or even background music! In fact, we still see many special effects-exaggerated sound effects, photography skills and smoke makers.

There are other wonderful contents in the second part. Michael smashed a car covered with racial slogans, pulled out the steering wheel and smashed it into the window that said "Long live the Klan", and lifted a trash can and threw it into the window of a shop. Finally, he tore up his shirt, spinning at high speed, kneeling in a small mud pit full of water, splashing a lot of water on the fireworks flying overhead.

Other works of the director:

Michael Jackson's Thriller; Movies: An American Werewolf in London, Three Friends, Coming to America, Beverly Hills SWAT 3.

In the MV, we can see Macaulay Culkin, the protagonist of "Alone" which was very popular at that time.

Black or White advocates racial equality, and one of Michael Jackson's greatest achievements is that he transcends the cultural charm of race.

And this song "Black and White" is the best embodiment.

We saw Michael dancing with African aborigines, and then the scene changed to Thailand, western North America …

Michael skipped half the world in his unique way.

Scene changes of different regional cultures in MV (from Africa to India to Russia, etc. ) embodies Michael Jackson's concept of racial equality.

The final face change, the face change of all races can be said to be the "finishing touch" of the topic.

"Black or White" is also the third best-selling song in history, with 53 million copies sold!

(In the album "Danger" with a shipment of 30 million, in the history CD with a shipment of 1 80,000/.

Of course, there is also a single record that has sold 5 million copies.

Second only to Billie Jean (* * * sold 79 million copies) and Beatit (* * * sold 78 million copies).
