For a while, Amy realized the problem, went to the drug rehabilitation center that she had already rejected before and got better, but as the pervasive media distorted and exaggerated her image, lost her own space, and paid attention to her entertainment instead of music. She chose to substitute alcohol for drugs. I think it’s really hard to face those madness soberly. When at a music festival, when the audience is booed by the audience, this is just a news point in the media. The host who invited her to interview before ridiculed consumption. She is because this is good for the public, but every step pushes her to a deeper and unable to extricate herself.
The director deliberately avoided interviewing the current people, because it is relatively difficult to be objective for everyone to pass through, but all the previous materials are used to present the most contemporary AMY. The film allows people to understand how the masses and the media consume celebrities, which affects the occurrence of tragedies, and gives people a different perspective to re-recognize the image of a madman and grotesque post-poisoned person who pursues music and love from a different perspective. She is pure heartache, extremely real person.
I want to listen to rehab, back to black, tears dry on their own, love is losing game, not only the rare musical talent, but also a touch and sadness.
PS: The film happened to be watched at the Odeon Cinema in Camden, North London. She lived and sang until her death was nearby. She also saw the date when Amy’s death news clip was about to end. The ticket stub, only to know that July 23 that day, it happened to be the 4th anniversary of her death. . . It is even more regrettable that the brightest musical talent of this century and a purely true soul that have been lost prematurely.
