At the beginning of the film, there is a girl with a slightly confused and green face, with unease hidden in her big eyes, and a little helpless. An old, majestic man's voice rang in his ear, telling the girl that she was by no means the prettiest, but because of her naturally good voice, that made her different and made her stand out. The man asked, "However, I am not. I heard that you are still unhappy?", then turned and left incredulously, the girl chased the man's back and said anxiously: "I just want more time." Standing under the porch of the studio, Judy's figure looks smaller and thinner in contrast to the man's fat body. This overwhelming gesture is like the girl's current situation - being held by the MGM studio in front of her. Doorman Louis B. Mayer firmly grasped. Louis B. Mayer brainwashed girls with the theory of success: you should cherish your talent, don't learn from those ordinary girls, "Why do you need so much time"? In fact, the big film studios create and produce so-called "stars" just to extract the maximum economic value from them. As the famous film scholar Dai Jinhua said, "During the contract period, the so-called 'star' and the studio are in a relationship that is almost personal. The story of slavery' blood and tears." Under the big studio system of Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s, "stars" were just dreams created by the studios for the public, while movies were utopias that allowed the public to temporarily escape reality and soothe their souls. It is the cruel laws of money that govern. This year's Oscar-winning film "Judy" is based on the real life of a generation of Hollywood child star Judy Garland. Judy Garland collaborated with MGM for the first time in 1935. Garland, who was only 13 years old at the time, was immature and ignorant. Her performance in the film "Every Sunday" was not amazing. She took the nickname "Little Humpback". Until 1938, because Xiulan. Temple's schedule problem, Judy Garland was lucky to get the role of Dorothy in the movie "The Wizard of Oz", and she became famous in one fell swoop. The song "Over the Rainbow" sung by Judy in the film was also widely sung. Since then, Judy has shot a series of musical films for MGM. From young actresses to musical stars, Judy's film career has flourished all the way. However, behind her success, she is under enormous mental pressure. After the movie "Judy" started, the plot jumped directly to the life of middle-aged Judy. She arranged clothes for the children in the back kitchen of the restaurant. For the appearance fee of $150, she brought her two children on stage to perform together. Under the dazzling lights of the stage, Judy smiled brightly, but still revealed a trace of desolation. After the late-night performance, Judy returned to the hotel with the children tired, but due to the long-term arrears, her room in the hotel had been checked out, and she had no choice but to send the two children to her ex-husband's house. This series of miserable situations can not help but cause many questions from the audience: How did a rising star fall to this point? At the beginning of the film, the girl Judy gave up the ordinary and stable life, and why did the glitzy world she pursued with all her heart finally become empty? Faced with double failures in her career and family, how will Judy face her future life? The film does not seem to be in a hurry to give an answer, but starts with Judy coming to a London hotel to sing in order to pay off her debts and fight for custody of her children. With the halo of a former Hollywood superstar, when Judy first arrived in London, she was warmly welcomed by everyone and wildly sought after by the spotlight. Judy smiled and responded calmly, as if returning to the peak moment in the past. In reality, since her childhood debut, Judy Garland has been abusing various drugs for a long time in order to control her weight, fall asleep, and wake up. In order to perfectly present the "personal design", she is like a marionette in the hands of a big studio, playing the "role" set for her along with the "pull and pull". All this destroyed her body and destroyed her spirit a little bit. Judy Garland has been in regular psychiatric therapy since she was 18. In 1951, 29-year-old Judy was fired by MGM, and many films were also titled "Drug dependence leads to confusion" Because of her rejection of her participation, her acting career hit rock bottom. And Judy's performance in London was not all smooth sailing. This is the stage she loves very much. It has the attention and applause she expects, but it has also become the source of her nightmares. Half a year later, Judy Garland died of a drug overdose at the age of 47. She left a wonderful singing voice to the world and added a desolate footnote to the "Golden Age" of Hollywood. Renee Zellweger, who played "Judy" in the movie "Judy", staged a "gorgeous turn" in reality. After six years of silence, she won the best actress at the 92nd Academy Awards this year. In this film, Zellweger fully expresses Judy's pain, confusion, entanglement, struggle, desire and attachment to "love" and the stage in the final stage of her life from all aspects of expression, posture and tone. It is her wonderful performance. Let this slightly old-fashioned movie shine with a different brilliance.
