Maybe It's Time To Let The Old Ways Die

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2018)

"Maybe it's time to let the old ways die, it takes a lot to change a man, hell it takes a lot to try, maybe it's time to let the old ways die"
A Star Is Born is Bradley Cooper's directorial debut and Lady Gaga's first leading role, and it is one that won't escape my mind and many others for a very long time.
Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper), is a washed up, drug addicted alcoholic, albeit very popular rockstar on the brink of giving up, till he meets Ally (Lady Gaga) a struggling artist, who has basically given up her dream of becoming a singer, until Jackson gets her to come into the spotlight with him. But as Ally's career starts to soar, Jackson's starts to plummet.
It is a heartbreaking, heartfelt, and deep story about love, fame, and how dangerous addiction can truly be. Bradley Cooper gives it 110% with his best performance I've seen, you can feel what his character is going through throughout the film. But I'm not done there, his directing ability is something to witness, I still can't believe he directed it. Lady Gaga will for sure be nominated for Best Actress come award season, and might even win. There is one scene in particular that should alone get her nominated, and had me snifflin'.
The Music is absolutely fantastic. There are so many songs that could be nominated for best original songs, but for me I think "I will never love again" will for sure be nominated, AND win.
4th time's the charm for this beautifully shot, directed, and acted remake of A Star Is Born.
10/10
