After Judy

The protagonist Judy appeared on the silver screen when she was a child. In everyone's eyes, she is a pure and lively Dorothy, but in real life, she was severely forged and squeezed by a brokerage company to the point that her body and spirit were no longer healthy. 's "stage character" - eating like a normal person? no way to be thin as Dorothy; to have a lunch break agreed in the contract? no way you forgot that you are nothing, you are just a rural girl sold to the company by your mother; hungry? Take this medicine; can't sleep well after taking this medicine? I'll give you another medicine while you sleep... She has become a sick person caused by the agency. She is so eager for love, recognition, and unconditional support that she loses her discernment and has five unhappy marriages; She loves her children deeply, but she is unable to keep them by her side; she is sad in her heart, but she always pretends to smile, for fear of being disgusted, she keeps thanking and apologizing. OMG! Such a woman who is mentally unstable and suffering from insomnia and serious drug abuse problems, she also has a beautiful voice, but you only love her who can perform perfectly on the stage, otherwise you will drink her away with booze, and finally In the end, only two hardcore gay fans love her anyway, and the final touching chorus scene freezes.

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.
