I love Whitney Houston sooo!! much I think her music was legendary and when I found out that her daughter died not long after her death It had me thinking if it was just coincidence or if it had a deeper meaning. The coroner report states that Whitney had been found face down in a water filled bath tub with drugs nearby and her daughter dies the same way faced down in a bath tub. This was always strange to me and I was interested in knowing more about the family and I loved watching the Whitney Houston biopic and when I found out there would be one about her daughter I had to watch it.
The start of the biopic Bobbi Kristina sadly tries to commit suicide and her mother, Whitney Houston saves her then it continues on to show Whitney Houston committing suicide but the movie does not show exactly how Whitney Houston actually died. A big fight also happened at the start of the film between Bobbi and her mum Whitney before she committed suicide ending with Bobbi telling her mother she hated her. Another thing I noticed is that when Whitney dies Bobbi Kristina's father does not come and see her in support right away which i found sad strange.
The character I liked the most was the role of the aunt played by Vivica Fox I feel like the role fit her perfect as she looked exactly how the real aunt did and spoke like her to her acting was great overall she was my favorite character and most believable.
What I learned from watching the biopic was that Bobbi Kristina introduced her school friend to her mother Whitney after the divorce between her mother and father Bobbi Brown. This was a vulnerable time for both her and her mother and they saw the friend as a male protective figure so they invited him to live with them as he was already a close friend to Bobbi Kristina. Whitney took the boy in and treated him as her own child, his name was Nick Gordon.
After the death of Whitney, during the reading of the will Bobbi Kristina was given her mothers estate and Nick was shocked that even though he was not a biological son to Whitney Houston he still felt entitled to some part of the will. Bobbi Kristina reassures Nick and tells him that whatever is hers is also his as she saw him as a close friend and brother. The film made Nick look like he was only interested in money and that he was a opportunist. After her mothers death it came to Bobbi Kristina's birthday the film showed that she was still down about her mothers passing and that she did not want to celebrate her birthday, but Nick was persistent with telling her she needs to have fun, this is when he persuades her to go to a party. At the party it indicates that this is the first time that Bobbi Kristina tries drugs and indicates that Nick was the one that introduced her to drug taking.
After the parting the film went on to show how they both became a couple which I found really odd. He went from being a caring brother like figure to him being in love with her and they started a relationship this was weird to see how it was portrayed in the film. It seemed that allot of sad things were happening to Bobbi Kristina another person close to her died her friend called Shannon had an overdose it appeared that people around her were dying. Through the movie it showed her struggle with substance abuse in the form of drugs and lean.
A close friend of hers Taylor warned her about Nick and said that he was using her and that he would use stolen credit cards. Then it went on to show that Nick was abusive the film showed a fight between the couple where Nick punches Bobbi Kristina after arguing about her ignoring his phone calls to her while she was out with friends,after the abusive fight Bobbi Kristina confides in her friend Taylor and stays with her at her house. While at Taylor house which she shared with her mother Bobbi tries to hide the bruises on her face from the punch, but her friends mother still notices and asks Taylor, her daughter questions and tries to call the police. But her daughter begged her not to call the police she listened to her and ignored that Bobbi Kristina has bruises on her face and turned a blind eye which I was amazed to see. In addition to this when Nick came to look for Bobbi Kristina at there house she just left with him and never called the police after when it was evident that something was not right.
Another point is that she had an amazing voice but she just never had the right people around her and trusted Nick to also be her manager which got her no where, whereas if she let her aunt be her manager it would of been better as she has more experience but then again Nick wouldn't allow it when she tried. The movie displayed that she loved music and it was her passion and towards the end she wanted Nick and her to be clean from drugs and wanted to move from Atlanta to LA. Overall Nick seemed to be a disturbed individual as he would post images of himself with guns online her aunt would always try and make her see that he was not a good person for her and a fight even broke up between Bobbi Kristina's cousin and Nick about how he was speaking to her at a family function.
Nick genuinely seemed to be a jealous person in the movie and he even came with Bobbi Kristina when she meet her dad for sushi which is normal but it seemed to be strange as if he wanted to know everything at every moment especially when it came to her family members.
Before her plan to leave for LA she sadly finds out that Nick cheated on her which lead to an abusive fight between the two and he hit her once again. The ending scene then shows her going into the bathroom and locking her self away from him. On the 31 January 2015 Bobbi Kristina was found face down in her bath tub which lead to her being in a coma for 6 months she then sadly passed away on the 26th July 2015. A year later Nick Gordon was found civilly reliable for her death and ordered to pay $36 million to her estate.
In my opinion the movie was an okay rendition of what happened but I am unsure if it really showcase her life story in the right way however the overall point came across. I now understand why her father Bobbi Brown wanted to stop the movie from airing on TV. This really is a sad story I will always love Whitney Houston and her music and if you have the time to check out the movie you should, I recommend watching the Whitney Bi-op first just to get more of an overall idea of her story and I love the acting in that Biopic looked really believable. Check out the trailers below for both.
