Culture news Homage or money pump? The first images from the film about this deceased singer leave fans perplexed…
Many fans believe that this film about this late singer is unnecessary, others think it is a great tribute. In other words, this feature film has not yet been released, but is already causing strong reactions.
These days, it is no longer rare to see biopics appear in cinemas. It’s a way to discover the life of a famous personality from a new angle, and above all to pay him a poignant tribute.. We can notably cite Elvis which was born in 2022 and which allowed its main actor Austin Butler to be rewarded with a Golden Globe. This type of feature film also aims to introduce younger generations to a star who died long before their birth.
However, the subject of biopics in cinema is sometimes controversial. Indeed, some wonder if it is really necessary to exploit a person’s life to make a profit.. When the cause is noble, the question does not arise, but when it concerns a personality who has suffered from his exposure to the media, the debate is relaunched. This is the case of the film which retraces the life of singer Amy Winehouse, the first trailer of which was unveiled yesterday.

Amy Winehouse biopic is already controversial
Named Back To Black, this film claims to depict the life of British singer Amy Winehouse who lost her life in 2011 at the age of 27. This feature film stars actress Marisa Abela in the role of the artist. Even if the first images seem to highlight the most notable aspects of this celebrity’s life, many do not appreciate the idea of having made a feature film of it. For good reason, Amy Winehouse has long suffered from her media exposure, just like her personal problems such as those of addiction and her love life. Her fans know that she only wanted to be known for her voice and her talent, but not for her image and her setbacks. Reason why this film is already the subject of debate on the Internet.
“It’s so sad to see that even after death, the media continues to exploit Amy” or “That looks horrible. “It’s a bad cosplay and Amy deserves better”, we can read on social networks. However, some seem convinced by the first images and believe that this can constitute a decent tribute to the singer. In any case, this film will be available on April 24 in theaters, if you wish to watch it.
