It's also the memory of my beautiful youth

I just watched it yesterday, and I was really embarrassed. . . Such a great singer has a glorious but short life. Back in the media, I have also seen photos showing her weight loss after taking drugs, but in the documentary for the first time I saw her standing behind Bobby Brown and yawning, I was shocked. There are a lot of precious family videos in the film, even including her mother saying that Janet Jackson is a bitch, and she herself thinks that Paula Abdul sings out of tune. In the past, I simply thought that Whitney was taken by Bobby, but after watching the documentary, I learned that she had a childhood of being sexually harassed by her aunt, a father who regarded her daughter as a tool for making money, and a gay couple who had been entangled for many years. The brother who took her to suck the grass from the beginning. . . The documentary also includes a catastrophic performance after her comeback. . . Puffy body and terrible voice. But in any case, she is one of the greatest singers, "I Will Always Love You", is also the highest-selling female singer so far. . . Interestingly, even Saddam Hussein used the Arabic version of this song in his "campaign" rally. The film introduces the background of the turbulent era, and a lot of news fragments flash into it. . . There are even tank man shots. Whether she is her or MJ, including Mariah Carey before the deterioration, the memories of these singers are actually my best memories of my youth.

Whitney quotes

  • [first lines]

    Whitney Houston: There were times when I would look up to God and I'd go, "Why is this happening to me?" And then these dreams... I'd have these dreams about being on a bridge and the bridge going back and forth and swaying. There's a big storm coming... I'm always running from this giant. I'm always running from this big man. I know I can make it. I know I can make it. I know I can make it. My mother always says, "Oh, you know, that's nothin' but the devil; he's just trying to get you. He just wants your soul." And in a sense it's true. There's been several times the devil has tried to get me. But he never gets me. And it's funny, when I wake up I'm always exhausted, from running.

  • Gary Houston: We had a good, tight-knit family, but there were always a lot of secrets in our lives. When you don't resolve things, when you don't deal with things, they never go away. They never go away.
