In fact, it is quite similar to "Rocketman". Elton and Judy are both love-deficient people. Even when they are old, they are like children. One is harmed by family environment, sexual discrimination and goddamn agents, and the other is made by Hollywood stars. , consumerism and the damned LB, the difference is that Elton and her husband are still living happily, but Judy has long since died of a drug overdose at the age of 47.

The classic narrative technique and visual style in the film are excellent, with a gentle and tolerant tone, not overly accusing the star system (but it deserves over-criticism!), but also extremely caring about each character, Judy, tragedy and highlights coexist (see to the phone booth where the daughter "abandoned" her mother Judy, tearful). The most moving thing is Renee Zellweger's god-level performance that must be remembered in history - Oscar, please listen to public opinion!

At the end of the film (tears), Judy smiled like a child in the spotlight. Facing the cheers from the audience, she asked: "You won't forget me, will you?" Then she whispered: "Promise me you won't.”

I promise.

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.
