do not forget me

It's been a long time since I saw a video that touched my heart. In just one short film, it tells the story of a woman's tragic, brilliant, lovely and pitiful life. A little girl has no freedom of choice since she was 2 years old, not only does she have no freedom to eat delicious food, she cannot even sleep peacefully. She has been on the stage since she was 5 years old, but "a short, fat and buck tooth girl from the countryside" has superhuman talent and love for music and the stage, which supports her to become brilliant, but also loses how many ordinary people can have at their fingertips. Happiness, 16-year-old works 18 hours a day, can't eat food, takes various drugs to control weight and sleep, and even loses his own child. She can give up food and sleep, but she refuses to give up the child. For the sake of the child, she has to leave the child and go to other places to earn money. When he was young, he was exploited by his parents. After getting married, his husband gambled on horses, so that when he got old, he had nothing. He couldn't give his children a stable life because he didn't live in a fixed place. In the end, his favorite child also decided to live with his father. All the people around her treat her as a cash cow, and no one cares that she loves her. The person she loves most in her heart is her first love, (the person she loved until the last marriage has the same name as her first love), she always thought that he rejected him, but at the end she recalled that she gave up on him for the stage and the audience. She was insomnia and alcoholism because of her love for her children, and she was late for many times. The audience threw food at her ruthlessly, insulted and booed her to step down. In the end, she still wanted to say goodbye to the audience on the stage, she said: don't forget 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.
