Sometimes what people see is not necessarily true. As a biopic, "Judy" uses the life course of Judy, a superstar in the 1950s, to show the audience the desperation of a star who has lost his star halo, and his obsession with child custody under his motherhood. . From Judy's life, we can see how much the star needs to pay behind the brilliance, reflecting the star's situation in today's society, the fierce competition and the persecution of people's body and spirit under the star system, which is becoming more and more more attention. The movie "Judy" reminds me of Tetsuya Nakajima's "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko". Judy has lived for the stage all his life. At the age of 40, he ran for his family and children. What he and Matsuko have in common is that both In pursuit of ordinary things, a family, love and understanding, they are all alone and without a place to live. The difference is that Judy does not face life as actively as Pine Nuts, which just highlights the strict control over the star's body under the big studio movies in the 1950s, which affects their life. The 40-year-old Judy still pursues love, loves children and Mickey, and finally found out that she has always been loved by people on stage. The film uses the method of interlude, and Andy's 40-year-old life is constantly interspersed with pictures from his childhood. At the beginning, there is a close-up of Judy's face as a child, and the shadow of the producer appears on the camera, highlighting the sense of oppression. When Judy was about to audition, the background cloth was emerald green, followed by Judy and the children staying in the dilapidated waiting area, which was also a dark green tone. The empty rehearsal hall and the hotel had a cooler tone, especially Judy's scores of staying in the toilet many times to smoke, look somber and low in blue tones. And the blue hue that Judy showed when she jumped into the swimming pool when she broke free from bondage in her childhood showed a short-lived freedom.

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.
