Over the rainbow

I watch a lot of movies, of various genres, and there are very few unique biopic documentaries.

After the operation, my eyes have been very dry and lack of tears. My friend recommended watching "Judy".

I have always felt that Judy was a very responsible mother. She was destitute and had to take care of her children, take them to hotels, run shows, and had nowhere to sleep in the middle of the night, so she had to go to her ex-husband. Her love for the child is unquestionable, but she thinks that the child can't be separated from her and needs her, and finally she realizes that it is herself who is really inseparable from the child. Although the children still love their mother, they want to be comforted and stop running around.

And her last marriage was held in London in such a hurry, and she never thought of letting her children and relatives participate. Is she unwilling to share, or does she want to book it as soon as possible, because it is too insecure? The last husband was so much like Sam in supernatural. Couldn't resist acting.

She was so mean to the agent girl at first. I can't think of the reason. Is it because of drugs or jealousy of the 28-year-old? People in their 40s will indeed be jealous.

When Judy had nowhere to go to a party, she asked a girl (the girl later called her mom, is she the eldest daughter? Why is she so miserable?) if she was nervous when she was performing on stage for the first time. The other party said that it was the same as usual, and there was nothing special. This is in stark contrast to Judy's insomnia, nervousness and medication to escape before she goes to the London stage. She started performing at the age of 14, and into her 40s, she still gets nervous. Is it the shadows of childhood or the influence of drugs?

Judy was finally made by herself and had no chance to perform. But there is still one last performance. I'm not touched here, I'm going to scold my friends, what about tears? When she began to sing over the rainbow, and she could no longer sing, the same-sex couple stood up to sing a cappella, and when the audience stood up to sing together, tears suddenly fell. She said you won't forget me, will you? No.

Six months later, she died of an overdose. I think such a day will come sooner or later.

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.
