Amy Winehous Documentary: Review


Yesterday, you and I went to see 'Amy' the movie. At first when I saw commercial for the documentary- -'I thought oh no, it's going to be a so tragic.' But then I remembered how sacred the act of art is. And Amy Winhouse was one the most brilliant musicians of the 21st century-- so far. She wanted to be known as a 'jazz artist.' Interesting, how correlated addiction and art is? That is what this documentary touched on. The limelight can kill a passion. And the energy of fanatics from all around the world-- essentially throwing themselves at you, because your an Aphrodite. The males closest to her could have been her abusers too, all that greed of drugs & money (they go hand & hand.) But again she was an artist, the fame that came with her talent contributed to her addictions; clearly. But her main vice was love. Any documentary that draws attention to the trauma that makes art is really profound... that's what this was.
