Remember the time.
Michael Jackson is someone who requires no introduction. A master in the art of entertainment whose name will be remembered worldwide for days to come. Jackson’s musical video “Remember the time” takes the spectator in a time travel journey to the ancient times in Egypt. A spectacular setting, incredible costumes, great choreography as expected, and in it’s cast some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. From the beginning to the end Jackson and the producers, as well as everyone involved in it make the video entertaining and interesting, because it includes a story as well.
Setting is one of the most important characteristics of this particular music video. The music video is set on Egypt. It begins in a temple and then leads us to the roads of the city back and forth. The palace is impressive, the floor is neat and the area of the palace is spacious, as expected almost everything is desert sand color. In the palace gold is visible in a good amount to the eye of the viewer, in the roads of the city there is hardly anything gold around, they show a portion of a market and it was very well accommodated to make it look real enough.
Furthermore, one of the things that really show off in this music video is the costume everyone wore, from the servants to the slaves, to the pharaoh and Jackson’s costume they were all made right for the setting. Jewelry is something that is seen in the palace, the queen wears an exquisite gold/silk dress as well as a gold necklace and a royal hat made out of gold. Moreover, the pharaoh wears a greenish gold royal necklace as well, also made out of gold. Servants, slaves and soldiers they all wear mostly the same exact things. Choreography as expected is executed in style by Jackson and its partners, which in this case they are the servants.
It is not impressive to think that Michael Jackson had a lot of influences and
