This segment of the article “Back to Black” raises interesting questions. To elaborate further, it has been noted by many that America is largely polarized. To make things a little more simple to fathom, there are two sides of the nation with entirely different views on an issue. An American actress Marisa Abela who plays Amy in a movie, tries to shed light on this issue. What is interesting is that she was able to charm so many with her simple personality, while she herself did not have it easy. Nonetheless, her singing voice told the audience to all sit-down and listen as it was exceptional. Those who like Winehouse aren’t oblivious to her turbulent life in fact they are very much aware of her addiction life and her life that was marketed to the media. The sequel to her life drama played out in 2011, during the summer which saw her die of alcohol poisoning aged 27.

“Back to Black depicts the era after the film was made without getting too cringy as it combines well with the album Frank which was under development after 2003 and was completed in 2006.” Please be advised, don’t expect to meet Amy, the musician, Amy the ‘human’. A lot of credits are owed to Taylor-Johnson and Greenhalgh for giving Amy the pain and suffering they’ve earned. Even though Larson was the film writer in the first instance still the film reflects Amy the drug addict Bottom Low, who never surrenders. She transformed the film into a biographic. That is correct, an era based around an album, a different but acceptable format for a movie, a movie which is called Back to Black.

Every music biopic definitely has some shared commonalities, especially in its target audience that enjoys the music. ‘Back to Black’ portrays that there are such performances where the audience can ‘hear’ a few of Amy’s songs, but for the most part, these songs are surplus and are simply treated as background music. Such instances can even more easily evolve to be mindless imitations of Amy simply as a singer as opposed to the person whom this facet of Tinseltown appears to have been intending to play this part. While spinning either album, the picture seems to have barely any interest in putting onward the next time to even the making of anything at all. There is hardly sufficient information that we get as regards what she undertakes as an artist a few bullet points at the best ‘I have style, I have a guitar and oh yes, I do.

The back narrative of ‘Back to Black’ features a narrative explaining her third studio album which greatly contrasts the image that Amy held. About the audience that she is making music for, even to them she is yet an unknown and would remain so until they hear her for the first time.

She has neglected to talk about how much she loved her motherland and how all her fame was spent in America.

The film does not address other factors that led Amy and her music to fame. It glosses over the timeline of her musical career and instead, puts a sad love tale interspersed with drug abuse and impulsively made tattoos at the center. There are a few moments of performance that seem to portray her struggles with addiction or some obsessive rush of being in a relationship. Quite a bit of this aspect is what Blake (Jack O Connell) cannot hold back to subject her to. There is only one more moment recorded on the tape of her over the edge and coked up recording the single for Back To Black. The documentary does even less than such hopes warrant remaining and lick at the subject of drug addiction which seeks to be the theme of the film. So they are quite properly suited to the rhythm very much because they assume that the audience always knows how to ‘play’ episodes of a story in the right order and therefore the details are superfluous. On stage Abela is seen giving her all in the quest to move around and recreate Amy’s look in photographs but in truth, she is substandard in doing that.

There was no interest in the movement of the body as a whole and, even if these are exaggerated, I find them rather irritating. Abela disappointingly attempted to impersonate Winehouse only to realize that the wig and the accent had nothing to do with the latter woman’s style of presentation but was only an aspect of her singing which is why it works.

Moreover, things like these and the pan shot that places Holywood’s focus on drugs are not something new as they have virtually been the last folder for the biography of Amy’s high life for as long as she can remember. A cig with a few puffs or a drink is a more discreet indication of what every individual now prefers. They started off with Amy being a seductive Lying Cunt who has always been cutting out half her heart by lying in a myriad of other people. This form of treatment was also meted out to Blake, who was perceived to be the focus of all that was Amy’s split personality but was not designed by her at all.

It is fairly well recognized that no one is innocent in recounting a narrative, and to limit oneself in terms of how much blame one could take does not absolve them. For instance, In these kinds of situations, it is a rather simple and quite unconvincing excuse.

In the film, Amy is portrayed as an angry woman, crushed in her own world, unable to accept herself and face the external world., however, she never sheds a sound. This raises the question in my mind: What was the point of making the film in the first place?

I do believe that in 2024 the perception will change in the pop industry but based on what I saw, the treatment of Amy is nothing short of disgusting. “Never again,” I say out across the room while reminiscing over how we treated Britney. Perhaps it is naive of us to expect after Winehouse died, people would begin to revere her for her contribution to art, but during her lifetime sadly that was not the case. However, this form of optimism does not help the audience as it sets up unrealistic expectations. Taylor-Johnson, for instance, makes a point of Amy’s distaste of paparazzi. But then adding such moments in the movie makes it as annoying as the cameras. Unparalleled, hyperbole romantic has nothing to say to the plot.

This view is just pathetic. Any woman case in point Amy can only be viewed as a zero unless she goes through the most legendary catastrophic states of her life and is criticized and turned to be censored and the fifth audience is the audience that truly wants some juicer stuff. Yes, Amy’s addiction has a slot in her narrativized life history, but for someone to create her life history in such a narrativized way while hiding her real self and other aspects of her life everything is quite disturbing and frankly unsightly.

The unfortunate thing is that Pamela Allison’s adoring followers are going to watch this film and the movie is certainly more outrageous than it is moving and the soft part is. And that is unfortunate. This ‘Back to Black’ confirms conventions and waits until the audience is tired of that applause and once again plugs into this woman more of that self-fulfilling expectations ‘I want to be remembered, I would be long gone.

This movie has a more unfortunate truth at its core. It heavily revolves around a feeling that is rather painful and wrenching. After watching, every individual who steps out of the cinema will perhaps feel disgruntled, to say the least. Rather than easing the sense of depression and shame that they came in, the movie increases it.
