Plot summary

Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all died at the age of 27 between 1969 and 1971. At the time, the coincidence gave rise to some comment, but it was not until the death of Kurt Cobain, about two and a half decades later, that the idea of a "27 Club" began to catch on in public perception, reignited with the death of Amy Winehouse in 2011. Through interviews with people who knew them, such as music stars, critics, medical experts and unseen footage, the lives, music, and artistry of those who died at 27 are investigated with a bid to find answers.

Grave-dancing

Several famous musicians have died aged just 27. Fame doesn't neccessarily solve all your existing problems; rather, it creates a bunch of new ones and gives you access to near-unlimited quantities of drugs that are only going to make things worse. A well-rounded person might happily enjoy the money; someone with prior problems is more likely to exascerbate them. Individually, many of the stories covered in this documentary are moving and tragic; but collectively, what they have in common is actually so simple there's very little to be said. This particular program is made worse by the fact that its commentary is provided by a collection of talking heads who offer only the idlest of commentary, hackneyed and devoid of personal insight. The result feels ghoulish, dancing on the graves of the dead but telling us nothing we might learn.

I thought it was weak.

I'm a huge fan of music and the history of music, so the idea of this documentary appealed to me so greatly. I was looking for something to watch on Netflix and I saw this and decided I wanted to watch it.Gone Too Soon talks about the infamous curse of musicians dying at the age of 27. Though they're were many over the years the documentary focus on six specifically. Not just any Six, these are possibly the most famous six (Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Jimmi Hendrix, Janis Joplin ,Jim Morrison (the "big three" of the myth cause they all died the same year) Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse (last but not least). Note that the documentary is also focusing on the ones who's death can be explain heavenly by drug abuse. Even though, everything being said is vaguely true about all these stars, each one of them having childhood issues that lead to their outburst in music and wanting attention that becomes too overwhelming and they try to drown it with substance abuse, that goes too far.In a lot of ways I just feel that the documentary is a little unfair to the musicians that died simply because the stories being told are being told second hand from people who feel like they did not actually know any of these people personally.It really feels like just a group of people like you and me just gossiping about musicians they like. Despite the fact that these people are shrinks, music authors and professionals as well as substance abuse experts, they don't seem more informed than anyone on the street who just happen to be a fan of the artist. I especially felt this way about the first musician, Brian Jones. This could just be because, I was not as familiar with the terms of his death as I am with everyone else on the list, but they just made Jones look so depressing and how he seemed to matter so little. It set a tone for the whole thing that never goes away. Not fully the docs fault, cause I'm sure in perspective what they said is genuine. Yet still, it felt so geriatric that it's a little insulting to the memory of these people.I'm being harsh but with the exception of Jones, I know they have better docs that explain the death of these six with a little more heart and interest. I think VH1 did a doc called the 27 club that really goes into depth of the whole curse more interestingly (but Amy Winehouse was not part of this club at the time)

Nice

Ya it was a nice and light watch. Could have been better, and crispier protagonists needs to do better job. Who are you, who am I his idea is not there neither here. but does it matter?
