Outstanding Movie, You need to see it if you haven't.

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2020)

I did not want to see this movie, but my mom drug me to theaters because she had seen Kris Kristofferson and Barbra Streisand in the 1976 version of A Star Is Born growing up. After seeing it the first time I absolutely fell in love with the film. It has become one of my favorite movies. The way Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga are able to show their affection for one another gets me teary eyed, I admire the way they show their love. A lot of movies that star couples shows how perfect their relationship is and how they live the perfect life. A Star Is Born does a good job in showing how they struggle in their relationship when Bradley is suffering from drug and alcohol use.
As many of you may know this movie is also very well known for the soundtrack that came out the same day as the movie in 2018. During the Oscar award ceremony in April 2019, the song Shallow sung by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper won the best original song. During the movie, Jack Maine, played by Bradley Cooper, pulls Ally, also known as Lady Gagaonto the stage and sings Shallow together for the first time. By the way they look at each other and the way their voices harmonize together, this scene shows that they are starting to fall in love. When they sing with such confidence it made me get the chills watching how talented they are.
Bradley Cooper has also starred in a lot of other films including The Hangover and American Sniper but I think his acting in this film has been the best work he's done. He played all of his parts perfectly. He had to show generosity, because he is the one who made Ally a star. He showed love and commitment while also playing his role of being a drunk. At the end of the movie when Jack commits suicide it sends such a powerful message to viewers. Jack loved everything about Ally. He knew that by being with her she would never succeed in her career, so what he did was out of his heart. Lady Gaga did very well but I can't say she blew my mind. It was her first big movie so I give her credit but I would say she needs some more work. Don't get me wrong, still very well done and still better than most people could have done but that would be my biggest flaw of the movie.
In the end I think A Star is Born would get a 9.5/10. I would definitely spend the money and go see this film. It gives you a new perspective on things you wouldn't have thought about before. It shows a side of love that many couples don't experience. Because they are both singers and songwriters Jack and Ally have an instant connection and are able to connect in a way a lot of people can't.
