re: Back to Black (Amy Winehouse Biopic)

The "inner demons" trope about singers and comics is such bullshite. That's just something the entertainment industry keeps putting out to make themselves appear more deep and profound. I loved Farley, but he wasn't tortured by inner demons to the point of death. He was a fat guy with no self-discipline who liked to get drunk and high. And eat a lot. When Bill the plumber dies of too much alcohol we don't wax poetic about his internal turmoil that pushed him over the edge. But when a singer like Winehouse destroys herself it almost gets portrayed as a noble accomplishment. Fun fact: talented people are irresponsible losers, too.
