Some where over the rainbow, way up high.
The wizard of Oz is my favorite movie since I was a child, and I have watched it countless times; when my daughter was two years old, I bought her a pop-up book of The Wizard of Oz, and she also started watching Judy when she was three. Garland's The Wizard of Oz, listening to the story of The Wizard of Oz, is still countless times now.
While I absolutely loved the movie and had my daughter watch it, I never really got to know the girl who played Dorothy. Until this drama - Judy. I didn't know that there was so much inhuman abuse behind the performance I loved so much. He was only allowed to eat chicken soup and black coffee every day, took medicine every four hours to support his body, and was forced to smoke 80 cigarettes a day. Finally, I controlled my weight and starred in "The Wizard of Oz". MGM used drugs to control these child stars, allowing them to perform extraordinary performances with more energy than ordinary people. Treating people like commodities is almost the same as training animals to perform. There is no such extraordinary performance. The huge profits extracted from child stars have allowed these film companies to train, control, abuse, and violate child stars so ruthlessly. This movie is scarier than a horror movie.
Why can't Judy come out? She has such a wonderful singing voice. But it was this song that made these wolves, tigers and leopards covet her, eagerly wanting to take her as their own.
When Judy wondered whether she should be a part of The Wizard of Oz or choose to be a normal girl, the MGM boss told Judy, those girls, they might grow up to be cashiers, farmers' wives or elementary school teachers; But their skin gets rough from the housework. Is this what you want? Just being a mother? a wife? You can be one of them, just get out of my door. Everything you want is right there. The rest of America is waiting to devour you and forget you, like raindrops falling into the Pacific Ocean, and no one cares. But you're not like them. Your voice can take you to Oz, a place those pretty girls can't go.
MGM coaxed her into controlling her step by step, using her performances to make a fortune. When she was too tired to remember her name because of the 18-hour work, the MGM boss humiliated her again. Your original name is Francis Gum. You are just a fat country bumpkin with messy teeth. Your dad is gay and your mom only cares what I think of you. Do you still know who you are?
Judy, who was pushed into the fire pit by her own mother since she was a child, was about to perform on stage when she was two years old, and was forced to take doping by her mother to keep her performance energy at the age of ten. So she loves her children very, very much. It's like living with your heart on the outside of your body Judy was poor later, but in order to fight for custody of her two children, she had to go to a foreign land in London to perform to earn money, hoping to have enough financial support to take back her children. Her ex-husband went to London to find her and wanted her to agree to live with him in the future. She said angrily, "I'm a good mother." I know what it's like to be an unqualified mother, I've lived with her. But the reality cannot be changed. Her children finally chose a stable place to live with their father, which was a fatal blow to Judy.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high.
The Wizard of Oz is so encouraging, the scarecrow pursues a heart, the tin man pursues a head, the cowardly lion pursues courage, and the little girl Dorothy is not afraid of difficulties and kindly helps others defeat the bad witch, and finally finds her way home. The magic and beauty of Oz made Judy's success and fame, but it did not bring her a happy life.
When finally Judy got on stage and sang her last song, Above the Rainbow. She said, it's not a song about something, it's a song about where to go, a song about hope. When she was so sad and excited that she couldn't sing any more, her die-hard gay fans helped her pick it up, and the whole audience helped her to complete this song that tolerated differences and gave people courage and hope.
I hope this is a play that generally has a happy ending, and Judy, who fell to the bottom, should be able to get back on her feet and return to subversion. But this is a true biography. Judy ended up on the stage in London because of a long-term physical and mental illness and a blow to life. After half a year, she died in a foreign land.
"A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others."
The size of a person's heart is not determined by how much love you give, but by how many people love you.
To Judy Garland
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I've heard of Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to Dream really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds Are far behind me
Where troubles melt Like lemon drops Way above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why, then, why can't I?
If happy little blue birds fly Beyond the rainbow Why oh why, can't I?
