People never realized that this woman was also a great dramatic actress. She could do it all. Here, she proves that she really is,The Worlds Greatest Entertainer.
Yes, she could do it all but people needed to find flaws because she couldn't just be a triple threat, it was impossible for people to understand that. People rarely talked about her as a dramatic actress for this very reason.
This woman was a brilliant actress. She was robbed of an Oscar for this role. I watch her scenes in this & she is a revelation. And that Voice- Pure Perfection
I recently watched a video about this. How in reality no one truly won. Everyone was devastated for Judy and so no one was happy for Grace. What a shame they did this to dear Judy at no fault of Graces either. Such a heart breaking story. May Judy rest in the arms of angels
I think she was exactly that: the greatest movie actress the world has ever known. And the amazing thing is that she was also the greatest singer of songs the world has ever known. And, as Lucille Ball so graciously pointed out, she was the funniest woman in America. I just don't know how it could all come together like that in one person. Doesn''t seem fair, does it?
This makes me cry every time I watch this scene. The level of depth and emotion. At the time she filmed this movie she was going thru her own battle with addiction to pills. I'm sure much of this monologue she pulled from her own personal stuggles at the time. Only reason she lost the oscar was because she was acting out and the studio heads wanted to punish her for missing days on set. This movie was one of her best dramatic and comedic roles. Personally I thought she deserved to win and was cheated out of her oscar because studio heads wanted to control her and make a point. You can still make this right hollywood and give her an honorary oscar now. He children would appreciate it. The fans like me would appreciate it. This is a heart wrenching scene for sure. Another moment was when she sang The Man That got Away. That destroys me every time I hear her sing it. This version no disrespect to GaGA and Barbara is my favorite A Star is Born movie.
My stepdad is an alcoholic. He struggles to get well. She is right. Sometimes, love isn’t enough. They have to want to get clean. No one can force them into sobriety. They have to do it themselves. This scene is really heart-wrenching. Judy was amazing.
Amazing at 4:36 how she goes from a despondent scowl to a Hollywood smile as she goes into the final take of the song. She was so terribly underrated as an actress. If this scene was the only thing she ever did, she would still be one of the best actresses we have ever had.
Judy tears the heart out of the viewer in this scene. Despair, rage, love, fear, empathy, and then some. She should have gotten the Oscar just for this scene. Grace Kelly for The Country Girl? Ridiculous!
Isn't it quite ironic that in one of her most celebrated roles, she was essentially cast to play out the complete opposite end of her life and problems? It's almost as if through this role, Judy confronted and fought her own demons on screen. Maybe this is what makes this performance so brilliant.
God this scene breaks me, it’s just so amazing and she’s so good. When she says that she hates him I break a little every time. She could so easily be talking about herself
God. This scene broke my heart. I have issues with sobriety. I've watched loved ones with the same issue and had similar responses. I just think about what my wife must think of me. I try, but God, it is hard. The line " love isn't enough " really sticks with me. I always thought that if I found my soul mate, I'd get over my alcohol issues. I found my soul mate. I love my wife so much. I can't imagine a life without her, but I can't stop drinking. I'd do absolutely anything for her, but I can't stop drinking. I've been in therapy for some time. Hopefully, I will get to the point where I can stop.
The edited version of the film removed all the lead-up to this emotional scene when she’d been cheerfully running through the entire upbeat and perky “Lose That Long Face” musical number. Losing all that reduces the poignancy of her return to the stage at the end to force herself back into fake happiness again.
This and the hospital scene in “I Could Go on Singing” are her best dramatic moments. Interestingly, they are both self-referential. Here, about her own addictions and the other about the pressures of performing.
Interesting that they chose to use the take where she accidentally knocked her hat off. There were others where this mistake didn’t happen, but I guess this looked lighthearted and more fun, to contrast more starkly with all the trauma that had just occurred.

Why do you think that is?
Yes, she could do it all but people needed to find flaws because she couldn't just be a triple threat, it was impossible for people to understand that. People rarely talked about her as a dramatic actress for this very reason.
Her abilities as an actress were also what made her a great singer. She was interpreting the words of songs and the emotion the way an actress does.
that "I hate me too" just makes my heart drop

A revelation? She always was a brilliant actress!!!
One minute, soul-tearing anguish and the next, soaring and smiling and she simply must be the greatest actress the world has ever known.

Oh Judy,... you commanded, you dominated, your star will never fade.
Judy's performance was electrifying in this scene. I get chills everytime I see it!

It's deeply Unfortunate that Hollywood studios treated Judy as a Disposable comodity.
She was a brilliant actress
No disrespect to Grace Kelly, but even her father said, "There should've been two statues awarded." Judy was robbed.

She really looks like her daughter Liza in this.
I was going to write the same
Liza looks like her you mean
I thought the same thing!
The director pulled her aside before shooting this and simply said (you know what this is about! YOU really know)
Cukor went full method
True.
i cant imagine what judy was thinking when she was having to perform this scene
Hopefully she was having some insight into her own addictions and her inability to get "clean".
Director George Cukor said to her “You know what this is about” when they shot the scene.
She was amazing.

If you can't imagine what she was thinking then you're blind.
I couldn't help crying with her as she performed that part. You could feel so much of how her pain was deep it was absolutely heartbreaking.
One take from when she's pouring coffee to the knock on the door. Extraordinary. No matter how many times I see this, it breaks my heart.
It’s hard not to use expletives because she was so f*cking brilliant and exceptional
And lost the Oscar. That was BS.
This scene should be required for acting classes.
God this scene breaks me, it’s just so amazing and she’s so good. When she says that she hates him I break a little every time. She could so easily be talking about herself
Iconic, loved, remembered, celebrated: Judy Garland!
She was also speaking oh herself when she says” I hate me too for failing” the tears started to come down her face.
‘Bright future predicted’ on the stacks of paper behind. This is a great great movie
God. This scene broke my heart. I have issues with sobriety. I've watched loved ones with the same issue and had similar responses. I just think about what my wife must think of me.

As cliche as it sounds: one day at a time. Wishing you all the best.
Robbed at the Academy Awards.This was her life!
Truly great acting. What an amazing performance.
This scene alone is an oscar winner but robbed
What an actress!

Jeez Loueez what a performance!!!!!!!
Fantastic actress

I’m watching this movie right now BRILLIANT!!!
Powerful stuff!!
Ironic that when she was playing this scene she could literally be talking about herself. Beautiful lady outstanding talent.
Oscar worthy and Oscar robbed
OMG she's talking about herself........
Interesting that they chose to use the take where she accidentally knocked her hat off. There were others where this mistake didn’t happen, but I guess this looked lighthearted and more fun, to contrast more starkly with all the trauma that had just occurred.
Judy’s acting was just as good as her singing
❤
I never thought that Judy cosplayed Luffy way back before.. kidding aside, what a performance!!!
She was 1 vote short of tying with Grace Kelly for an Oscar.
How do you know the number of votes? The academy doesn’t disclose that information as far as I know
I believe it was 6 votes.
@@thatguy20861 why do you think that?
