    "People think of me as a neurotic kid, full of fits and depressions, biting my fingernails to the bone, living under an eternal shadow of illness and collapse. Why do people insist on seeing an aura of tragedy around me always? My life isn’t tragic at all. I laugh a lot these days. At myself, too. Lord, if I couldn’t laugh at myself I don’t think I’d be alive".
    -Judy Garland
    Despite everything that happened to her, she tried her best to stay positive and get through her troubles with a smile. Bless that woman for her optimism.

      @1chienandalou 4 роки тому +15

      You really believe that? I mean it’s cool, and I don’t doubt that she laughed, and believed what she said here at times. But if she saw the world that way all the time or even the majority of the time, she wouldn’t have spent her life as unconscious as possible. It is exactly the sort of thing People who struggle with addiction and mental illness say when they are good mood, and is very unlikely to be a stable or consistent state. And yes I know she started drugs early, and it was gonna be an uphill battle for her. I’m not trying to criticize, but pointing out what we all know, that she didn’t manage to conquer those demons. She was a performer and knew what to do or say to make you (audience/fan) feel the way you do, and herself as close as she could feel to be “loved“. That’s what she primarily wanted, as we all do. And sadly, just like her feeling loved, what she describes here wasn’t likely to be a consistent thing. Otherwise maybe she would’ve had a better chance with her mental health and addiction issues. Life doesn’t have to be all tragedy for it to still be tragic in some ways.

      1chienandalou I agree with both of you, and yes, your right about a person that struggles with addiction...I am one. That’s hard to admit, but it’s true. I’ve been clean for four year’s, and I struggle every day, some more than other’s. If I was an entertainer, and also still dealing with the struggle, I would’ve said the same, probably mainly, because I wouldn’t want people in my business like that. Being that she started so young thanks to her mom, she probably died not really knowing her true self, her real identity, and personality. I hope not though.

    • @lindseysanders3656
      @lindseysanders3656 4 роки тому +2

      cici moore I agree with you. I don’t think she knew who she truly was. She could only relate to others in what they could do for her. She didn’t have a chance to fully mature, even though she grew up too fast st the same time. Most people think she was abused by her mother and others, maybe she was, we don’t know. I think she was allowed to do what she wanted to at a very young age without considering how it would affect her later on. Children can’t make career decisions.I think she also had a way of talking to move things in her favor. It seemed to be the nature of her mental disorder. She couldn’t take responsibility for her own actions. She drove herself to her own demise sadly. I don’t think she wanted to die and didn’t think she would, but it had gone too far.

      @@corettaha7855 "She should have listened" is such a non-statement. Everyone knows that, it's just common sense. If it was that easy, "just listening" then we wouldn't have rehabs we'd have talk centres for addiction. Don't blame the victim, and that's exactly what she was. A victim of her circumstances, a child-star thrust into amphetamines and into continuing when she simply couldn't. Until it was her entire persona, that she thought she was nothing without showbiz. Because, perhaps, that's the only time she ever truly felt loved.

    It's crazy how talented this woman is! She has Judy's mannerisms, her talking voice sounds just like Judy, & when you watch the scene's of Judy's most famous performances it's literally like watching the real Judy. She didn't act like Judy she became Judy Garland. Love this biopic so glad I found this. RIH beautiful angel the world lost one of the most talented women that's ever walked this earth. No one since Judy could ever compare to her. Her voice was so so special. I watch her famous performance when she sang over the rainbow live dressed as the bum & I still cry. The emotion she exudes & when I see the tears roll down her face I always get goosebumps. She definitely had some serious issues but she still to the end gave everything she got. Gone too soon.

      BlazinBritBrat: I've often thought the same thing...Where the heck were her sisters? I can only speculate that, once she was able to get away from her overbearing Mom, she steered clear of ALL family. Also, this particular story was written (originally in book form) by Lorna, so it kind of makes sense that we see Lorna as being the main "helper" to her (since that's naturally how Lorna remembers it).
      When my Dad died, it was SO odd to hear my own siblings tell stories about some of Dad's adventures (he lived a very colorful life) - As I don't remember many of the stories they swear are true. And they, in turn, think that I make up some of the memories I have about Dad.....My point is, that even if people are in the same house at the same time, kids tend to remember events much differently from each other. It's so weird how that happens.

      The day of Judy’s funeral in NYC, was the day that the Stonewall riots started between the gay people and the NYPD, who were as homophobic then as they are racist now...(certainly not all of them, but definitely a fair share). Having talked with many of my gay friends about them adopting the rainbow as their symbol, after Judy’s funeral and the riots ended, I was told that Judy became a gay icon, because like Judy, gay people back then, felt and were, rejected by the majority, having a sense that there was no place for them to just be accepted, just like Judy’s life story.

    Whilst she was in concert i London my father worked with her in the orchestra - a big show Palladium or something. For all the talk of pills and booze and bad behaviour, my father for a whole month said she was the most professional woman he ever worked with. He said she wore slacks and a jumper, perched on a stool and tapped the music out on her knee with her finger. She sipped water from a cup. She never complained if someone played a bum note, just raised her hand. And when the concert finished she said goodbye to the whole orchestra. Later he worked with Lulu who complained bitched, threw hissy fits and would only sing in one key. She made the whole orchestra miserable and to make things worse would only play them a third of their salary. They had to sue for breach of contract. My father couldn’t believe it. He said ‘Do people actually like this girl?’

She was always doing one show or another. Sometimes more than 4 a year. She was super human and the greatest star of her day. Ann Miller and many others loved her and talked about her great talent. She may have been late on the set but she didn’t need a lot of takes and so the filming went quite quickly. I

    Judy is just another victim of Hollywood. They tell these stars they need to be prettier, thinner, work harder, and when they do that, they destroy the person behind the actor. The studio, her mother, and all of the other people in her life never cared about her, only the money. Judy was a means to an end, and that's why they never attempted to get her some real help when it was apparent she was sinking. It's sad as this still occurs in the industry today.

    Judy was fucked up from the start now that I look back at this movie. Everyone around her wasn't concerned of her well-being except her children, particularly Lorna. Everybody else was just worried about getting their piece of cash when it came to Judy. It actually breaks my heart how she relied on Lorna to look after Joey because she knew she wasn't capable and strong enough to. Show business can make or break a person. It was definitely Judy's downfall.

    No matter what they went through and no matter their troubles the love between Judy and Sidney never left their hearts. A man that truly loved the mother of his children, even after their divorce he still took care of her in his own way. The children cared for their mother because they were brought up with love, she didnt toss them aside to work, she didn't want the worst for them, didnt want them to suffer the way she did, despite her addiction and them seeing it day in day out they knew how much she loved them, I'm sure they had amazing times with their mother that we didnt see not just the hard time portrayed in the film. She was ruined by fame, we have seen many celebs go down this path and tragically lose their life in the same manner. It's all down to money and celebs are used to gain it. We see the lights and action of celeb life, it all looks fun and great, see all the fake smiles, see how much money they can spend, but money dont buy happiness and we dont see behind the scenes or behind their closed doors. I have a couple of actor friends and I have seen them struggle just trying to find their next job because once they've been used and spat out that's where they're left until a lucky break comes along. This was a fantastic film and will will hopefully see it without it being in parts. Great job to all the actors/actresses they were fantastic, cant knock them for that.

She just had the misfortune of everyone around her (except her father who died young) including her mother trying to cash in on her voice to the point of drugging her as long as she was performing and producing cash. Even when she had no money she never tried to use her children as cash cows like her mother and studio did to her which she could have easily done with Liza since she did have a great voice and wanted to be a "star" This is probably why all her children still spoke well about her years after her death and loved her so much. She had good intentions and a good heart but her upbringing ruined her good judgement always thinking she was less than anyone else and was loved less than anyone else.

And I think it's so great that her children, even today, only speak of how great of a mother she was. I think that was because unlike her own mother, she was never mean and nasty to her kids despite what she was put through all those years. To me Judy Garland had a great hear and pure intentions. It was what she was put through starting at an early age that made her judgment not so great and which ultimately lead to her death. People using her for a check is what made always feel less of a person in my opinion and she just wanted to feel loved, and I'm actually happy that she got that from her children through it all.

      unfortunately judy was constantly searching for her father in men. so much so that 3 out of the 5 men she married turned out to be gay, just like her father. the other two gave her the illusion of safety; she felt protected in their company. unfortunately they used her and abandoned her just like everyone else in her life did. luft invested the most into her because he was dependent on her for money. its true he got her the deal for 'a star is born' and her palace performance, but he got just as much out of it as she did. and he gambled away millions and left her in debt to the government. judy never experienced a healthy relationship so she never knew what to look for.

      It is a terrible thing, when you want to be loved, and that love, is always elusive. It seems such a little thing, until you don't have it. Acceptance, appreciation, commendation, validity, confidence, or whatever else you can name that blossoms from being loved, are not easy to self generate. That desire, or need, for love drives many to do things extraordinary to feel it. For many, love just does not come in this life. Yes there are takes and other willing "to give" what is desired. . . and take all they can instead.. The desire to be loved, is too great, for most warnings. Love is far too valuable and cherished.

      Judy was extremely close with Sinatra. Frank was one of her biggest fans and even stated himself that he couldn't hold a candle to her talent. Judy and Frank even had a brief love affair during the 1940s. He would visit her in rehab. Judy and Frank were far more intimate and shared a far deeper bond than he shared with Grace. So it doesn't make since that Grace simply being "connected" to Frank would earn her an Oscar when he was much more deeply connected to Judy and had much more complex history with Judy.
