The protagonist of this film, Judy Garland, was the highest-grossing star in the 1940s and played Dorothy in the famous fantasy musical "The Wizard of Oz" by MGM. The American Film Institute was named one of the "Greatest Actresses of the Century". At the age of 17, he won the Academy Award for Teenagers, the Tony Award for Drama at the age of 30, the Golden Globe Award at the age of 33 and the Grammy Award at the age of 40. Grand Prize...
But these honors are crowned with thorns, breaking her body and mind. This film intercepts Judy's life trajectory in the first six months of her death, interspersed with memories of the teenager's rise to fame, and interspersed with reality to show the audience this The fate of celebrity tragedy, it is more appropriate to say fate, it is more appropriate to say "fate". Because all the tragedy is doomed at the beginning of the film, when young Judy talks to the MGM boss while auditioning for The Wizard of Oz:
"You do not want it?
"No, I just need a little time, maybe I just want to go to the movies like the other girls"
"But those girls will only grow up to be supermarket cashiers, farmers' wives, elementary school teachers, and do all the housework... Do you want that? Judy, willing to be housewives? Put your voice down there and forget Your presence, and here, with us, your voice will make you a million before you turn twenty..."
As everyone knows, the gift from God has already been marked with a secret price! If life could be restarted and Judy had a chance to make a new choice, would she rather be a farmer's wife, with a cottage and two or three children, sweeping the courtyard in the morning, and raising the smoke from the kitchen at dusk, maybe this would be happier , who knows, but the path that Judy chose was a road of no return. MGM's early star-making program used an almost destructive approach, relying on diet pills to keep them in shape and stimulants to keep them on set. Long-term shooting state, and then use sedatives to ensure sleep. So, when we saw this superstar in the movie, she was already struggling on the brink of mental and physical collapse, afraid and hated the stage, but had to accompany the stage; divorced four times but still believed in love, because apart from her lover She doesn't have any friends she can rely on and trust; she loves her two children deeply, but she has to give up the custody of the children because she is heavily in debt and has no fixed place to live. Di, as if all the lights were out.
Renee Zellweger won the 92nd Academy Award for Best Actress for this film. Many people feel sorry for Scarlett Johansson in "Marriage Story", but in fact this result is not unexpected. In the first place, you must be willing to sacrifice your own image. The more thorough the subversion, the better. For example, Charlize Theron, who can associate the charming Dior goddess with the unkempt "The Devil", so She won the 72nd Academy Award for Best Actress. Renee in this film, can you imagine that she used to be the plump, lovely and optimistic young single woman in "BJ's Single Diary", although the iconic pouting is still there, but when the beauty has passed away, her face is full of ravines Under the vertical and horizontal, there are only vicissitudes and bitterness. It turns out that Renee is also fifty years old, three years older than the actual age of Judy in the film. Luckier than Judy, if "A Star Is Born" played by Judy Garland won that Oscar as she wished, would her fate be different?
This film did not use the original sound recording of Judy Garland, and the great heroine sang throughout the whole process. In addition to admiration, I still want to say: This is really a pity!
