Recommend this movie similar to Life of the Roses

There are really too many similar tragedies happened, Elton John, Judy and many different forms of art performers, all gained applause and success in pain. The most hilarious thing is that many choices cannot be decided by themselves. They are tied to the pressure of real capitalists and the emotional pressure of the audience on them. They really can't see themselves. It seems as if they were imprisoned in the fog of reputation from the beginning to the end, living their lives for others, and when they found that their world was full of thorns, it was too late. In fact, I was thinking a long time ago that the public's approval, love, and expectation seem to be based on the pain and helplessness of talented artists. The best example is that the more emotionally and tearfully the singer sings, the more the audience approves and loves it. But who has thought behind the scenes why they can sing these songs so emotionally? Because they are in pain, because they are lonely, because they can't find themselves anymore. . .

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.
