Let's go back to Amy's girlhood, and the movie starts by affirming her musical talent. When she was in her teens, she sang a birthday song for a friend, and the spirit in the song seemed to be mixed in nature. Amy's image throughout the film has been set in this film - spontaneity and natural talent. Tragedy is born from here. When the audience knows that the ending must be death, the director will show the beautiful nature of the character at the beginning, and the purpose is to let everyone witness how this beauty will gradually die. What follows are clips of Amy before she became famous. The purpose is to let the audience realize that many things have been revealed from the beginning: Amy's creative talent has been shown from a very early age, and before she realizes that she is actually writing She has written a large number of poems when singing songs; the record company boss praised her as special and impressive; when she first debuted, she was on camera and unabashedly showed that she did not understand her hostess. Dissatisfaction with music; she had an early habit of bulimia and marijuana. All of this seems to be a foreshadowing that she will become a superstar and will struggle with the media and drugs. And the most ironic and most prophetic sentence is when Amy said in an interview when he first debuted: "The more people know me, the more they know that the only thing I can do is make music. So please don't bother me, I will make music. Good." But unfortunately, people just don't know the real her, and they don't let her continue to have the opportunity to make her own music.
The film undoubtedly targets the media that is chasing her wildly and Amy's father and ex-husband who are constantly consuming the name Amy. When Amy released her second album "Back To Black" and quickly became a big hit, the movie There is a saying "The whole world want a piece of her". The ex-boyfriend who originally abandoned her and returned to his old girlfriend returned to Amy's side and became her ex-husband. Because of him, Amy began to be exposed to first-class drugs; it is not clearly stated in the movie, but through the words of the ex-manager, it seems that It is implied that Amy missed the golden opportunity for recovery because of the obstruction of her ex-husband and father; when Amy's condition continued to deteriorate and she desperately needed space to recuperate, the media did not let her go for a moment. The degree of madness even went so far as to dress up next to her hotel room. bug; and after Amy swept the Grammys, when she really got off drugs and took friends and a new lover to the island to recuperate, when it seemed like everything could start over, her father took the camera team to film him On her own show, her ex-husband accused her of changing her mind on TV. In the past three or four years, Amy's physical condition has been repeated repeatedly, and there are always thousands of spotlights flashing in the picture, and even the audience feels tired as if they are ten years old. , the fact is, before everyone could figure out where things were going, Amy's physical condition had dropped a thousand miles to a very fragile point. The accusation against the media, her father, and her ex-husband is very strong, no wonder Amy's father kept criticizing the film for inaccuracy and distorting his image after the film was released.
However, what is most controversial is that the director spends more time investigating Amy's private life and seems to ignore her musical achievements, and he boldly places some of the blame on Amy himself. The director's handling of her drug addiction didn't elevate Kurt Cobain's drug use as a way to add artistry to the work, as Brett Morgen did in Cobain: Montage of Heck; instead, in this film, the director believes that drug use has severely damaged Amy daily life and creative life. In the film, Amy is also portrayed as being very dependent on men, especially emphasizing her wrong love for her ex-husband and father, which made the film attract feminist critics. But in fact, the reason why Amy's creation is so moving is that she has transformed the source of pain into creative inspiration. After we have all experienced all the struggles she has experienced, we realize that she can skip Gu Ying's self-pity, and become so detached from the ground, Communicate with yourself purely through music, and find the sincere self in music that is not easy to see in reality. The purpose of this film is not to praise Amy and make people miss her forever, but to openly reveal her short 27 years of life in front of the audience, and then let people find out what the problem is and let the audience rediscover this How the world treats this talented woman. When we see Amy's flaws and we can all reaffirm that she is a true musician.
AMY is a heartbreaking tragedy, but looking at it will surely burn Amy as a girl to my heart, as vivid as the tattoos on her arms. There is a scene in the movie that I will definitely remember for a lifetime: Amy, who just debuted, and the first manager were walking on the street, and the manager was photographed standing a little far away, raising his head, closing his eyes, enjoying himself. Sunshine Amy, she just stood quietly in the sun for a few seconds.
