Seeing Judy thinking of Piaf

Renee Zellweger just won the Golden Globe with "Judy", and hurriedly finished watching this film that she had been wanting to watch but never watched. I once watched the musical "Chicago" that she and Zeta Jones starred in. Zeta Jones received musical training in the UK since she was a child. Before stepping into the film and television industry, she was famous all over the country for musical dramas. It's not surprising that Renee can sing and dance with Zeta Jones. It's amazing. This time, Judy, a big star of a generation of musicals, sang all the live performances of the film by herself without borrowing the original sound. It seems that she is running to compete for the Oscar winner again. In fact, she is indeed the most popular this year. The widow sister wanted to win the award with "Marriage Story", but she met a strong enemy. This biopic captures the last part of Judy's life, showing that she loves children, loves stage singing, but also smokes, drinks, drugs, and loves her brain. Renee's performance is remarkable. Judy himself died at the age of 47. I wonder how Renee looks so old in the film? She looks to be in her 60s, and her appearance has changed so much that she can hardly recognize her appearance when she was young. When I think of the biographical film "La Vie de la Rose" by the French singer Piaf, who was the same generation as Judy, she was also a superstar who died young due to smoking and drinking. She also had a love brain, and she only lived forty-seven years. Years old, these two are very similar. After Cotillard was awarded the Oscar for this film, he hoped that Renee, who had a strong comeback after a period of silence, could also do so.

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.
