The beauty of the world is intertwined with you ❤️

Your heart is clear and not judged by how much you love

But it is cut off by the breadth and depth of the love of others.

—— "The Wizard of Oz"

One of the images that stuck in my mind was when Judy learned from her ex-husband that her two children wanted a stable life and agreed to live with their father. So much so that she couldn't wait to call her daughter when she saw the phone booth, and she didn't dare to speak for a long time when she heard her daughter's voice. She asked her daughter for confirmation. In the process of waiting for the answer, Judy's eyes were full of anticipation, her face was full of tension, and her hands kept rubbing. move, while waiting for her daughter's answer. The world seemed to stand still, and she understood that she had lost her goal and everything was meaningless. On the last stage she kept begging for, her back was bent more than any other performance. Even though life has been so bad, Judy still maintains her love for the stage and her singing is still mesmerizingly pure.

What moved me the most was that she was sitting near the audience, but her eyes were looking into the distance, and she seemed to feel the beauty of the past from her eyes. The famous song "Over the rainbow" resounded throughout London. Judy Garland is always creating beauty, which makes her sublime beyond the average sufferer.

"Promise me, you will never forget me!" Judy seemed to use her last stubbornness to say to the audience.

“Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true”

    Probably this year's "Bohemian Rhapsody" (or "The Wife"), which was lackluster in every way. Only then did I know that Judy Garland had such a rough relationship and was surprised by the number of ex-husbands.

    Without seeing the movie, I wouldn't have known "Friend of Dorothy" was a euphemism for LGBTQ because they were considered culpable in mainstream culture at the time. Judy Garland is so pathetic QAQ

Judy quotes

  • [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.
