Los Angeles - Dame Elizabeth Taylor wants the world to see the new Michael Jackson movie.
The 77-year-old Hollywood legend took to Twitter Monday to gush about "This is It," calling the late King of Pop a "modern day prophet" and the flick the best she has ever seen.
"I was honored with the great privilege of seeing 'This Is It' last week. I was sworn to secrecy, but now I can let you know about it," she wrote. "It is the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen. It cements forever Michael's genius in every aspect of creativity."
She wasn't done there.
"To say the man is a genius is an understatement. He cradles each note, coaxes the music to depths beyond reality," she tweeted.
"You owe it to yourselves and your loved ones to see this again and again. Memorize it and say to yourselves, 'I saw genius in my lifetime.'"
Taylor, who recently broke the news about a minor heart surgery on Twitter, said she wished her vocabulary "encompassed" what she felt.
"If you listen to his lyrics, they are those of a modern-day prophet and it beseeches us to listen to him and what he sang," she wrote.
"We must his take his words of responsibility seriously. We cannot let his life be in vain."
The superstar's messages went out to 174,526 Twitter followers on the eve of the movie's premiere in Los Angeles.
