Judy movie review

The script of "Judy" is relatively bland and not very brilliant, but the superb performance of the heroine Renee Zellweger adds a lot to the film. Judy is a typical "Tortured Artist". Being trained to be a big star since childhood, you can't eat a bite of cake, you can't sleep for a while, and you use drugs to maintain your weight. To become famous, a child has lost his happiness, freedom and health since he was a child. Behind the high-profile attention is the manipulation of interests and money. She dedicated her life to the stage, but no one really cares about her, no one cares about her joys and sorrows, and the people around her only care whether Judy can give her. They bring benefits. She has been bright, embarrassed, laughed, sad, longing to be loved all her life, but not being able to love her all her life... Zellweger is very good at Judy's character, she is not a perfect character, sensitive and emotional, inferior and self-conscious , These character flaws also caused her career and relationship to be like a roller coaster with ups and downs. She longs for the understanding and tolerance of others, but she can't open her heart and be sincere to others. She loves her children in every possible way, but she doesn't understand their true thoughts. This film tells us about a star's fall lamentation, every song in the film sings Judy's own mental journey, behind the bright and beautiful longing to be loved and to be remembered, "You will not forget me. , right? Promise me you won't forget..." At the end of the film, the black screen lights up a line of small characters: A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others. How much is judged, but judged by the breadth and depth of the love of others. - "The Wizard of Oz"

Judy quotes

  • Louis B. Mayer: Your name is Frances Gumm. You're a fat-ankled, snag-toothed rube from Grand Rapids. Your father was a faggot, and your mother only cares about what I think of you. Now do you remember who you are, Judy?

  • [first lines]

    Louis B. Mayer: What do you see beyond this wall? Picture it. You've got an imagination; go ahead. What I see is a small town in the Midwest. A handful of churches, somewhere for the farmers to get drunk together. Maybe a salon for their wives to do their hair on the holidays. I visit these places. These are the people who send us our profits. Who send us your wages. I make movies, Judy, but it's your job to give those people dreams. The economy is in the gutter, and they pay for you. And I'll tell you something else: In every one of those towns, believe me, there's a girl who's prettier than you. Maybe their nose is a little thinner at the bridge; they have better teeth than you; or they're taller, or slimmer. Only you have something none of those pretty girls can ever have. You know what that is?

    Young Judy: No, sir.

    Louis B. Mayer: You have that voice. It will maybe take you to Oz. Some place none of those pretty girls can ever go.
