Slow down, Amy.

A carefree smile, thick smoky makeup, fluffy and bursting hairstyle, small nails shining on the lips, a mouth that bulges out a little, and a hoarse and sexy voice. This is Amy, a wine glass that shatters too fast.

Interview + various performance songs + unpublished private video. The whole documentary is interspersed with the above three forms to present a real Amy to the audience. Before her death, the impression she left on the masses was that of a drug-addicted, alcoholic, and infatuated actress. Maybe geniuses really don't have a warm childhood, and Amy's childhood was miserable. Even if she grows up and becomes famous, she is still regarded as a cash cow by her father, and her rare father will bring a film crew to shoot. The husband, who once loved each other deeply and regarded as life by Amy, left her resolutely. She has never really gained the love of the man she loves, and such a life can never be said to be happy.

I can't love like her, even if I show the media such a bad her, none of her friends don't like her. She is also such a cute and casual image in private shots. She never thought that she could succeed, so she was shocked for dozens of seconds when she announced her award. She is not confident enough in herself. This is not the state of your average star now.

Because of this documentary, I went to listen to her songs, and her lazy and bewitching voice is intoxicating. Like the comments said, if Amy is still around, the pop music landscape doesn't know what it will be like. If time could be reversed, Slow down, Amy, just slow down.

Amy quotes

  • Yasiin Bey: I became aware of Amy in 2004. I'm a big jazz fan and I really liked what she was doing. I thought it was unique, I thought it was edgy. And sincere. And that's the thing I like most about Amy. She didn't have any airs. She was real... She was just a charming, sweet lady. I had a bit of a crush on her, to be honest. She was raw, she was fast with a blue joke, could drink anybody under the table, wasn't afraid to roll a smoke. Had a big, giant laugh, and was just a sweetheart, you know?

  • Amy Winehouse: Success to me is not success to the record company or whoever. Success to me is having the freedom to work with whoever I want to work with, to always be able to go to the studio when I have to go to the studio... I think the more people see of me, the more they'll realize that all I'm good for is making tunes. So leave me alone and I'll do it. I will do the music. I just need time to do the music.
