Holy shit, Alex has to be careful not to get after Mitch physically (or personally either) :D


He definitely took after Mitch in terms of looks! Honestly, I was kind of surprised that he went to the premiere, since he seems to stay away from stuff like that.

Yes, and I don't understand that either, it seems that no one dares to stand against Mitch. If I don't agree with something, I could at least stay away from the premiere. And I don't understand how Janis was there either. In her book Loving Amy she struck me as a mother who is very reflective and intelligent. But maybe it's not so easy for her to be alone after her husband's death... I wouldn't accuse her of any bad intentions.

Janis does seem to be supportive of what Mitch does; after all, she was in the Reclaiming Amy doc with him in his attempt to “clear his name”. But yeah, who knows her true intentions; I don’t want to judge her either. But it’s gotta be weird for the Winehouse family seeing their daughter/sister up on the big screen in that damn movie.

I think the film was pretty good. Aside from some inaccuracies and the singing.

Honestly, I've got to agree. The singing is never going to compare for obvious reasons, but kudos to Marisa for trying. Some of the inaccuracies were really glaring as a hardcore fan, but overall I think the movie was... better than I expected?

Honest? Of course everyone can have their own opinion, but I find the film horrible, especially because it paints a completely wrong picture of her. People watching the film now believe that Amy's inspiration came from others and not her (Beehive, music). You see a woman who was enthusiastically supported by her family, which was not the case. Mark Ronson doesn't appear, nor do the Dap-Kings. Amy's vocals sound so smooth, no rough edges, her whole personality is smooth and flawless. And Marisa's singing, well no one could have done that, but when you hear the real Amy with the real song, Marisa sounds exactly like she plays - smooth and lovely. Amy's inspiration unfortunately came from the pain she went through, but that is presented cautiously. And after the movie, there are only two factors that were detrimental to her: Blake and the paparazzi, which is bullshit because she had so much more to contend with. And at the end, not a word about how bravely she fought against the drugs and won. It doesn't do it justice and in my opinion no film can do that. But it's not Amy's story, it's a fairy tale. And what's more, Amy was such a strong personality as a young woman, here she seems like a small child. Stop it! Kapadia's documentary was the only approach - no films, musicals, hologram tours (God forbid) and other shit. I'm sorry if this comes across as harsh, but this topic makes me freak out. I wish you a nice weekend.

 

And I'm picky about little things because that's how you can tell how carefully someone is working. And the singing is the main factor for me: that's what Amy was all about.
It's like you want to make a film about sailing and there's never any water there.
 
Does anyone remember the long, long pages on which Kapadia meticulously wrote down every possible piece of information? THIS is how you make films that deserve an Oscar!
 
I wouldn't have minded a feature film, even if it wasn't my favorite with Amy, if someone had had the courage and knowledge to portray her as she was. But that wouldn't be a Hollywood film. They wanted a film that was superficial, not too sophisticated and entertaining. And now it looks like this: Amy was incredibly talented, loved by everyone, but fame and Blake dragged her into the abyss. There you can after 2 hours of entertainment! go home quietly.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think of Amy as a victim, but she was brutally exploited throughout her life. The few who didn't can be counted on one hand (Saalam, Tyler, both Nicks). I couldn't do anything to stop it. But after she died, things got worse. And I will now always defend Amy if I feel she is being further abused. Because she paid the highest price and can no longer defend herself. If this had been a really good feature film, I would have been okay with it, but not that shit.

Marisa's singing sounds the same in all songs (logical) and I particularly notice her effort, which is natural. Where Amy sounds effortless, Marisa's veins bulge and her face contorts into a grimace. But that's clear because she can only sing higher, and the fact that Mitch didn't care if the actress could sing says a lot about him. I'm sure Mark Ronson knew how shitty the movie was going to be and that's why he insisted on not being associated with it.

I don't know, I think people are being too harsh on the movie. It was a truthful portrayal of Amy as a person to me. Amy only did what she herself wanted.

 

Kapadia's documentary made her look like a victim.

Definitely not for me, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. For me, Kapadia's documentary is still the one and only Amy. :D  :D

I don't think Kapadia's film portrays her as just a victim. Sure, she was surrounded by people who only took advantage of her. But I think it's always like that when you're famous. But Amy made some bad decisions herself, like we all do in life. She didn't have an inner compass that told her, don't do this or that, it's bad for you. One of Amy's mysteries: her clear vision in her songs and the confusion in her life. She used to be very organized, wrote everything down, made lists. To me that's a sign that there was so much going on inside her that she had to do this to keep track. And the more she couldn't do that, the more her inner chaos became apparent.
And unfortunately, I'm sure she would have had extreme problems even without the fame, it was just a catalyst.

It’s a grotesque insult for Back to Black to suggest Amy Winehouse died of heartache over her childlessness | Amy Winehouse | The Guardian
