A star was born
Bradley Cooper's directional debut happened in the "brand new" film, the so-called "A star is born". A lot of people were wondering if he can live up to the expectations not only in acting, but also in directing. According to the expert critics, we are not disappointed. I cannot do anything but share this statement. In my opinion, three things made this film a blockbuster.
First of all, the cast should be rewarded on its own. The two leading actors, Bradley Cooper as Jackson Maine and Lady Gaga as Ally, are the main pulling power in the film. The plot idea, which shows the love between Jackson and Ally, is well played by Cooper and Gaga. What's more, the two actors have different experiences in their life according to their role. In my opinion, these experiences helped them to play as a unit.
We should not forget about the songs that feature in the movie. They are a huge boost to the story. They can be heard just at the right moment, with perfect lyrics. In the opening scene, Black Eyes is about hiding Jackson's addiction. In the closing scene, I'll Never Lose Again is a big irony in terms of the ending.
Lastly, the plot itself is well written, even though it has been written before. The parallel but constrasting stories, the high highs, and the the low lows, are the key factors that separate this movie from the others. If we pay attention, we can draw a line between Ally and Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga's problems are shown in her acting role, for example, dealing with the ideal model.
To conclude, this is a film worth watching. To be honest, I don't like these types of movies, but this film was not overplayed at all. It managed to keep the attention with jokes or shocking scenes when it was necessary. I recommend everyone to watch it.
