"Judy" as a biopic, I think it is a failure, but as the best actress Oscar, Renee Zellweger's acting is a success.
The whole film tells about the last period of Judy Garland's life, interspersed with the memories of his youth, and revealed the tragedy of the life of a generation of superstars. A former female star who became a victim of capital competition in the era of big studios, Judy was required to look perfect like a commodity when she was young, and she was lonely and helpless when she was old.
But if you don't understand the story behind the movie, or don't understand the real actor Judy Garland, especially for the audience who haven't seen "The Wizard of Oz", the conveying of the story is a bit like a running account, not strong enough and not resonating. Focusing on the result and despising the root cause, the film has too much space to show Judy's five-week theater performance. Showing the stage charm is Judy's highlight moment. It was still a great success, but the stage brought everything from time to time, but the audience was unhappy because of drug addiction and insomnia. The performance on the stage showed that Judy was still a talented artist, but since the director interspersed with it. Memories, but everything is shallow, and I have never answered directly how such a talented superstar Judy has become a miserable, self-abandoned, drug-addicted status quo? This is the question point of the audience's doubts, the key point of concern, and the source of this person's fullness of characters and the audience's empathy.
In addition, regarding Judy's motherhood, the film Judy claims to be a good mother, and it is portrayed in this way, but precisely because of the lack of the root of Judy's childhood pain, the four marriages and the last marriage are also very superficial. , so she has a good mother character and is not convincing enough.
But as "Judy" heroine Renée Zellweger beat out her widow in Marriage Story for the best actress Oscar, she deserves it. Renee Zellweger's self-doubt, nervousness, and panic state during the performance, as well as the different states of singing in front of the public, are vividly displayed, making people convince her state at this time. Through the screen, we can feel the price of success behind a superstar, and also see the fragility, fear, confusion, chaos, pain, and bravery behind the star's fading light.
This also precisely shows the two sides of life: fairy tales are fairy tales, and reality is reality.
At the beginning of the film, Judy, as a teenager, faced the olive branch thrown by the big producer with cowardice. On the set of "The Wizard of Oz", he spoke the lines that decided the fate of a girl, and the gaze that Judy received during the audition, a group of self-righteous people. The judge and a nervous and confused little girl convey a sense of oppression everywhere in the audio-visual language of the camera, but weave an irresistible "dream" for a girl who is not beautiful enough but talented.
"Judy, is that what you want? Just being a housewife, being a mother?"
"Your singing voice will make you millions before you turn 20."
"Ordinary kids, loved in every way, but you're different... If you want to be one of them, the rest of America is just waiting to devour you and forget about you. , like raindrops falling into the Pacific Ocean."
At the end of the film, "Over the Rainbow" caused the audience to chorus, which is the climax moment of the film.
A lyric from "Over the Rainbow":
"As long as you dare to dream, your dreams will come true"
the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
I hope everyone can stick to what they like, work hard for it and achieve results, and gain happiness and happiness at the same time.
