Across the rainbow, an embarrassing generation of actresses

When I watched "The Wizard of Oz", the most vivid impression was that Dorothy was so delicate and beautiful, but I never thought that Judy in real life would be criticized for her poor figure and appearance. It's truly sympathetic and sighing to see Judy's uncontrollable emotions and sleep problems that plague her in this film. As she said herself, everyone has their own problems, and she also has her own problems, but she has no ability to save herself, nor has she met the man who can save her. Therefore, she went to the end of her life early. The final performance became a swan song, and she wants the audience to remember her and not forget her. She is someone who loves the stage and acting after all. Her encounters and character shaped her life. Another Judy who is also famous, Jodie Foster, is not a typical Hollywood actress, not amazingly beautiful, but has achieved extraordinary achievements with wisdom and strength, and lived a wonderful life. So, Judy, if you were stronger, wouldn't the results be different? Across the rainbow, in that high place, there is a wonderland, I have seen it in the lullaby, across the rainbow, the sky is blue... Finally, I want to say that the performance of the female lead is great!

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.
