In 2007, he was scheduled to fly to Austin, Texas to see Amy Winehouse perform as part of a major music festival. More than a month before the festival, Amy had already announced the cancellation of her arrival in the United States due to "clinical exhaustion." She was too talented, but mostly too young.
We attribute romance to the 27 club, but forget how sad it is. What pure beauty of creation the world has missed. Those who really love Amy will love her as she really was and not in the artificial version of the new movie. "Back to Black: The Amy Winehouse Story" is out on DVD and Blu-ray on Friday, September 14. For more information, visit www.tulipentertainment.com/Amy-Winehouse-The-Back-to-Black-Movie-is-out-on-DVD-and-Blu-Ray-On-September-14-13-13. The film is also available on Blu-ray and DVD. Amy Winehouse's voice, like Freddie Mercury's, was one-off, and the attempt to reproduce it by a human was doomed to failure. The implicit subtext is that she didn't want to be famous, and fame killed her. The film mainly centers on Amy's relationship with her infamous lover Blake Fielder-Sibyl (played by the excellent Jack O'Connell), who becomes the real villain of the film. The one who comes out very cute in the movie is Winehouse's father, Mitch, who is played by Eddie Marsan, whom we have seen in so many small roles in movies and series (including in the role of Shimon Peres), and as usual, he gives an excellent character role. One can ask where he was during the time he was in the film, and it could equally be argued that without Blake, he would not have written the music that made her a legend.
