Andy Warhol said of Judy Garland: When you're around them, you forget that you have your own troubles, that you are deeply involved in theirs. They are in a situation all the time, and everyone is happy to help them out of it. Their troubles make them even more charming.
In his description, Judy Garland would laugh out loud and sing "Somewhere~over the rainbow" while filling her mouth with spaghetti. Judy Garland would take the trouble to talk about her tragic childhood story. For example, Mr. Louis B. Meyer of MGM hired her a psychoanalyst, tasked with brainwashing her: "Don't argue with your employers—they love you."
In the film "Judy", Judy Garland, whose face could not hide her tiredness, is no longer the little girl in "The Wizard of Oz".
She is a mother and her children are her weakness. In the original words of Judy in the film: (having children) is like exposing the heart.
She wants to protect the children's childhood. But it backfired. A mother who was in a poor financial situation, had no fixed abode, and was taking psychotropic drugs for a long time was simply incapable of taking care of her children.
So, the scene of the opening scene appeared. In the middle of the night, just after the end of the show, Judy, whose costumes had not yet faded away, was rejected in the hotel lobby. The reason is that her bills have been outstanding for a long time. She had to take the tired child and came to her ex-husband's house. When leaving, she also had a big argument with her ex-husband.
Judy's trip to London to say goodbye to the children at her ex-husband's house is particularly moving. The small wardrobe has become the "Wizard of Oz" for the mother and son. Judy can't take the kids to London, but maybe she can turn into a bunny and hide in a closet - it's spacious enough to play tennis! The reality is that the mother and son hug each other tightly in the closet, choking silently.
