Judy's life

Gust 2022-10-21 22:54:06

Judy's life begins like a fairy tale. The birth of a talented child star has an infinite future, but behind the halo, many people may not know what this little girl has suffered. Working long hours, being used as a money-making machine to extract profits, being given drug control since childhood, and several failed marriages, what we see in this film is absolutely a tragedy. And it seems that such tragedies are not uncommon in the entertainment world. I don't know why I kept thinking of Britney Spears while watching the movie. If I make a Britney Spears movie in the future, it feels the same way, I just hope the ending can be better. Renee Zellweger is almost locked in the Oscar nomination, and whether she can win the award depends on other competitors. For now, it seems that the end of the film, you will really forget that in front of you is Renee Zellweger who starred in BJ's Diary of a Single. With a thin figure and a strong voice, she accurately interprets the fragility and struggle of middle-aged Judy Garland, which is a very devoted performance. The young Judy was also cast very well and looked pretty close to the prototype.

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.
