Amy

22 May 2016

Since every person now has a smartphone, documentaries of people living today will much easier to do because so much film material will be available on each person. Compared to the documentary on Bob Marley that I covered earlier, a lot of film material was available on Amy Winehouse. Relatively cheap digital video cameras were around when she turned 14 and she and her friend started to interview each other like teenagers do. Documentaries on popular musicians are generally wonderful because we love to hear the music again that accompanied our own lives. Amy is a rewarding film to watch.

In 2004, I reported this story, “TWINS REUNITE AFTER 20 YEARS about twins who were separated at birth and found about each much later. The story repeated itself in 2013. This time the girls are not living in the same city about half way around the world.

Michael Lewis is an amazing writer. I say this even though I have never read a book by him. I watched two films based on his books.

An alternative title for this music documentary could be, “Grandpa and Grandma rock!” For music lovers this documentary by the German filmmaker Wim Wenders is a charmer.

Not everyone was happy that Clint Eastwood made a film following a very skilled American navy seal, Kris Kelly, on his four military tours of Iraq.

The Imitation Game

This is the 2nd film about a famous British scientists this year. Stephen Hawkin is probably better known to the public than Alan Touring. But Touring probably has changed our lives more than Hawkins.
