I thought of watching this movie because Renee Zellweger won an Oscar for leading actress.
Biopics of music singers have a long history, and there are many excellent ones. Even purporting to follow history, there would be too much pruning and emphasis in a two-hour movie.
The background chosen for this film is unique: abandoning the epic of a lifetime, the camera basically cuts to Judy's 40-year-old singer career. At that time, I was stretched thin, and I had to put the children in foster care with my ex-husband and go to the UK to perform alone.
Like the blank space in a landscape painting, the movie hides the most climax of Judy's acting moments in life. The beginning is a drama-like childhood choice moment. The discerning MGM boss discovered her who showed her talent and let her choose between ordinary life and bright stars. From then on, she went to another life path.
When singing the road is confused, when the end is hesitant. Judy is not in good condition and is not popular in the American market. She lives in her ex-husband's house for a while. Even in the UK, with an unyielding vigour, the opening compliments could not be sustained for long.
Zellweger's acting skills are indeed very good, with a thin body, short hair, messy and neat, smiling eyes and thick lips often pursed, which is a habitual expression of greetings and communication for most of his life, floating on the cheeks and eyebrows full of fine lines, It is the loneliness of prosperity in withering.
But when she sings, she stretches, her body leans and exerts force with the song, which is the happiness and beauty of her life, and she suffers from the company's oppression for this.
The color scheme of the movie is very good, several songs are good, and the one I feel most is the Happy song at the fans' house. The muffled song reverberates in the small room, but this is also the moment when Judy connects with the fans and even the audience most intimately. They and we are all in pursuit of happiness, in ordinary or extraordinary ways, even with the shackles of life, we cannot forget those things that bring us happiness.
