Judy? Judy

In my reading, the least favorite is the biographical film, because the chronological review of time has no other interest than letting you find the light that is different from history in the sea of ​​historical knowledge of the past. Word. But "Judy" has deeply attracted me, from the first time she opened her voice, to her exile with her child, and finally she had to live with her ex-husband for the sake of the child, and then to her reappearance in order to regain custody. In the end, the wonderful "Over the Rainbow" is left to the world. In her life, she broke through her own growth in order to fight against the Hollywood system.

Story is the core of a film and television work, and in a person's life, there will be many fragments worth recalling, which is the value of a person. The film begins with a sci-fi traditional brainwashing close-up of Judy's face and her swarming in a Hollywood factory-style set, which catches my eye, and then the camera rolls around and she's taking her baby They're singing for over $100, and the contrast is really heart-wrenching and makes you wonder what's going on. As a result, the director doesn't tell you what happened in this woman's life, but starts directly from her old age to talk about her relationship with her ex-husband, her relationship with her children, her relationship with her new love, The relationship between her and her comeback can be seen in a single glance, and you can fully understand why she is here?

The tone of the film is actually not bright, on the contrary, it is a bit mourning. The distance between her and her daughter when she ran to her daughter's party and the teaching of being a mother and a teacher, even the uneasiness and helplessness of her daughter's surpassing her; she and her ex-husband. The helplessness in the struggle for child custody and the insinuation of the American patriarchal society; when she was constantly exploited by her agent and former boss to the point of annihilating her nature; she was taking antidepressant drugs and drinking alcohol to hide in her heart but still When she was running for the schedule; when her weak bones and the last bit of strength in her body was to be used by her last husband, etc., etc., all dissipated from the minds of the audience the moment she opened her voice, whether it was Judy It is the actor who plays Judy himself, and no one can refuse the courage and reconstruction in that voice. In addition, her tolerance for two same-sex friends is also a warmth that a big star can't match.

Many people say that Judy created the Stonewall incident, but in terms of the relationship between everything, everything has its own most primitive appeal and the endogenous power to break through the framework. The endogenous power of the Stonewall incident lies in that society and that era. Disrespect for a small group is just that there are not enough groups, so there is not enough voice. If that group is black, it may be another "Civil War". Therefore, in fact, the focus of "Judy" is not here, but her revelation to her own growth, and of course her criticism of the entertainment system. On the contrary, I encourage domestic artists to take a good look at "Judy" to see how they are not casual and how to break through to show themselves. For Judy, singing and acting are her favorites. It's her job, how do you treat her job? How to make yourself responsible in the society is something that many domestic artists really want to learn.

When the 92nd Oscars list came out, I blindly voted Black Widow, because she was nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, and vowed to get the feeling of getting a golden statuette. But after watching "Judy", I have to say that this vote is for Zellweger no matter what others think. From "Mr. Sweetheart" to "BJ's Single Diary", which I was asked to watch in finance, I don't have much impression of her. The only one who knows the actor's name is because of "Cold Mountain", but this "Judy" has to be Said that she is really too much like me, and that's enough. More Huang talked about her performance, that frown and smile, the grace on the stage, the aura that completely held the audience when she touched the microphone, and her last sentence, "You won't forget me, will you?" Deeply imprinted in my heart, yes, we will not forget you, Judy & Zellweger, remembering you in the vast sea of ​​people, maybe it is the proudest thing for you or me...

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.
