A pointless (spoiler) tragedy

Rating: 6/10 (25 February 2019)

I could write a whole lot more, but hey - I've probably said it all in the title (sorry for the spoiler)
Some pretty good numbers, Bradly is always a refreshment and positive experience - though not at his best. I'd say he wasn't convinced either by the uninspired writing or the (non existent) chemistry, but most likely both.
Gaga is not an actress after all - but good try. Shouldn't be scolded too much.
Movie is looking for a point throughout it all, but it doesn't find it unfortunately, not until the end.
We're not convinced Gaga is a new artist from the get go, she's just too confident around famous singer, who she sees fit the first time in her life, and all of her movement that follows her singing shouts stage experience.
And, yeah, she's the one without chemistry.
Wonder how much better it would be with a better (and younger) actress.
Why did he have to die? What kind of catharsis has it brought to any of the characters? Yeah. Exactly. That's what I said in the first place.
Maybe it did make sense fifty years ago. Both pointless tragedy and old, depressed rock star. People were so much more serious in those days.
Old rock stars today just don't really die from alcohol or drugs, once they've made it past 27, it seems.
They seem to love their life to much to let go. My guess is - that's why they rock. They love sex, drugs and r'n'r. Not because they're depressed. They're simply the hedonists who give priority to satisfying their primal needs (and\or weaknesses, but that's another topic).
This guy could have been some other kind of artist, pianist maybe or some philharmonic instrumentalist or something, something - or ballet dancer. They seem to be so tense and competitive and under stress. At least that's what black swan wants us to think, I don't know, really.
