Judy's actual experience aside, the dinner with Gay and the episode of Over the Rainbow at the end moved me, but the emotional resonance was shallow. If you don't understand LGBTQ or Judy's life, it's actually hard to resonate. People who don't know Judy's life may even be a little uncomfortable watching 2/3 of the movies, because they can't understand why Judy is so "sloppy" about her work, not rehearsing, being late, or even responding to the audience, but in a flash The inserted clip of Judy's childhood doesn't make people feel the sadness of Hollywood child star to the bone. Maybe as an audience who is used to seeing celebrity anecdotes today, you may even think that celebrities who enjoy a high-quality life should be like this. ". In this era, if you want to get the halo, it seems that you should endure the hard work and hardship that very people can put in. The film's narrative isn't great, but the actors' performances feel real. There are too many things that the film wants to express, but everything is just a taste. The only thing I feel in the whole film is the chicken feathers in life, the fragility of human nature and the instinctual struggle in fragility. Going back to the two scenes mentioned at the beginning, it is precisely the scene that reflects the struggle of vulnerability. Judy and her gay fans met each other in their miserable lives and hugged for warmth. When they couldn't hold on, they stood up and sang the song full of vision and hope. The glimmer of humanity is also here.

  • Judy Garland: [Drunk and dealing with a heckler] How am I supposed to do this up here with you harassing me like that down there? Why don't you come up here and you do the show? And I'll take the chair and do the fatuous back talk, you goddamn fucking baboon!
