Mary, Watch this youtube link when you can, especially if you haven’t already watched “Amy”. So many things killed me about that movie. First, was that I felt like I participated in her death because I read EVERY single news story about her, her relationship with Blake, her cancelled tours, etc. I was in love with her music, but also her crazy persona. I feel awful knowing that I was watching someone fall apart like that and clicking on the stories that helped do her in. Secondly, it reminded me so much of my first few years of marriage to Levi. We had her music on non-stop. I’d say Amy Winehouse’s music and the tv show “Six Feet Under” remind me the most of 2005- early-2008. It was before we bought our house and before we started trying to get pregnant. It was that enjoyable era when we had disposable income and time on our hands. We ate such crappy food and had lots of fun. I wouldn’t trade any of my life now, but listening to her music as we watched it together last night made me remember a lot of fun memories of our early years. Also, from a cinematic standpoint, I was really blown away by the documentary and the way they chose to structure it. There were no sit-down interviews. The director only used voice-overs and used real footage of Amy, of which there are hours and hours. Her father and ex-husband were such villains, yet the director simply showed you footage and let you draw your own conclusions. Yes, she made her own choices, but nobody important in her life tried that hard to do anything and instead just rode the gravy train. So sad.
Anywho, if you want to walk down memory lane, check it out!
