I felt absolutely drained and depressed after watching this film about Amy Winehouse. As soon as I heard her voice back in college I knew she was a phenomenal artist and could become legendary. But I only ever saw her life through the thick filter of the media. She always appeared drugged-out and crazy. But that wasn't the real Amy, that was the product of celebrity-ism. Fame really doesn't work for most people, especially artists who just want to do their craft. It is no wonder that so many celebrities turn to drugs or become depressed. What else do you do when you can't leave your house or go anywhere without cameras shuttering and people yelling at you? Our capitalistic/consumerist society is literally killing people who have so much to give our culture.
