Judy Garland is as famous as her "Over the rainbow", and then fame does not mean a smooth life, but "the crown covers the capital, and the people are alone and haggard." In order to maintain her figure, she started taking drugs when she was a girl , Gradually fell into the habit of alcoholism, and the bad mood caused by five marriages also spread to the concert. "Judy" tells the story of her singing in London before her death at the age of 47.

Renee Zellweger, who starred in "BJ's Diary of a Single", changed her sweetheart image in this film and tried her best to interpret Judy's fragility and strength: the precarious economic situation made it impossible for her to give her children a stable home. After being kicked out of the hotel, she was forced to let her children stay with her ex-husband; her extreme desire for love made her get married in a hurry when she didn't know each other, but she got divorced in a hurry; she flew to work in a city she hated, just to get it back Custody of children.

Renee Zellweger not only meticulously figured out the role, but also sang it herself. Although it is different from the original singing, her all-round acting skills and multi-level emotional expression have become a major attraction of this film.

It is difficult for ordinary celebrity biopics to gain the recognition of the family of the parties involved, and "Judy" is no exception. Judy Garland's daughter, Lisa Minnelli, never met Renee Zellweger, nor did she endorse or approve the film, according to the news. But the film does not create anything out of nothing, or focuses on gossip and anecdotes, but has a choice. Judy's youth and middle-aged experiences, in addition to accusing the MGM (film company) boss for forcing her to take medicine and distorting her body and mind, It also conveys her desire to be a dedicated mother, as well as her respect and love for her fans.

In the film, her interaction with gay fans, whether it is the three of them going to dinner together or the chorus at the concert, are all very warm clips, adding a comedy element to Judy's tragic life.

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.
