The film gets, easy, among the 10 best of the year, until now.

Rating: 7/10 (19 October 2018)

A musical that tells a tragedy in an almost masterly way. Touching deep issues such as the vice that comes from depression, and suffering as a result of the disease.
Bradley Cooper surprises us with a captivating performance and an amazing staging. Without underestimating the excellent work of Stefani Germanotta, aka: Lady Gaga as Ally in this work based on another film of the same name from 1954.
What delights of this tape, besides the protagonists, is the very best way to handle the secondary characters. Like Lorenzo and Bobby Maine who were the most important part in the development of our protagonists. I really loved the scenes of Anthony Ramos (Ramón) because he gave life to a specific type of character that was generally created to be forgotten or to give him potential and then to waste it.
Sam Elliott (Bobby Maine) has the shortest and sad scene of the whole movie.
I have to give my congratulations to the makeup team, but it was right in several points I want to enhance the excellent work with Cooper's face, which really makes the alcoholism notice, if you see a real life photo and another interpreting Jackson Maine, it surprises the difference of details on the face.
Not only the music and the soundtrack (which by the way is great) but how they sound. To express myself better I would say that what matters here is the setting, if you see this movie in the cinema, in the scenes where you play songs you will feel that you are in a real concert.
But the big prize, the prize for the best of the film is left by the cinematographer Matthew Libatique, only to appreciate a frame, a frame of a scene was admired with the ideal of lighting, the exactness of the focus, the detain the camera and what killed me, the color palette, an image of this tape makes you fall in love with it!
Although, this movie has a lot of feeling where you see it, there is a small detail that disturbed me, so to speak, in a moment; and is that, the first time Ally sings on stage, is an emotional and inspiring scene, she had just fulfilled her dream, was very nervous and that is transmitted to the viewer. But the next time you go on stage is a similar moment of nervousness but now this is not represented with the same magnitude but the scene cuts when it enters, begins, and then when they have finished, as if it were already professional.
That was my only personal conflict with the film.
I do not need him to win, but if Bradley Cooper is not nominated for a better director at the Academy Awards, I'm going to complain about the entire awards season.
Actually I never applaud in the movies, and this time it was not totally different. But I must admit, I loved the movie, and the end made me give 3 well-deserved pats.
Two hours and sixteen minutes that start looking inspiring but end with a high note, although depressing.
One of my favorite movies from 2018 until now, with one of my favorite actors (in my previous blog I explained that I do not have a favorite one) presenting myself this time as a protagonist, director, writer and even producer.
