The video is good and the song is even better. An instant classic that will never be forgotten. This video has a very important message that will always be relevant. Which is why you cant give it anything other then a perfect ten rating.

Eye opening and great video of history and brings awareness to want to help!

In 1988 as a kid I remember this hit from Michael called "Man in the Mirror" and watching the music video was even more touching as it went along with the lyrics even more. The clips are a montage of the world and it's current problems of poverty, showing homeless people, starving kids, and it showcases the deaths of "MLK" and "JFK", plus it shows images of the "KKK" as it's a cause and shout out for race relations awareness. Still it's message is that of hope and wanting to help for change and need as it starts with yourself and that's the man in the mirror do something about it to change and help society and save souls. Overall great song and excellent music video that goes hand in hand to bring awareness to society showing that love, kindness, and help is needed to save the world.

Significant, but superficial

This one here is the music video for Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" from over 25 years ago. It runs for 5 minutes and includes several important personalities from their time and age, many of these got assassinated. We see John Lennon, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy and more, but we also see people, mostly black children, suffer from poverty. It's certainly a good intention, but honestly I believe that this music video is style over substance. Maybe Jackson tries to be too relevant with this one as there is no story here, just pictures and recordings of famous people. I also cannot see a real parallel between the song and the video. However, the song is catchy and certainly elevates the material, which is why all in all I give this one a thumbs up and hands down, Jackson was always a bit too much in his music videos. Okay watch here, better listen even. Recommended.
