It seems like we have been hearing about A Star is Born for like ever, and now we are getting our first glance of the movie that comes out on October 5th. The movie that stars Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga is a remake of the 1976 film that starred Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson which was a remake of the 1954 one with Judy Garland and James Mason which was a remake of the original one that came out in 1937.
Therefore, this is a movie that has pretty much be done for every generation with one of the greatest singing voices of that generation. This time it is Lady Gaga. They tried to make her look like a plain Jane, but I think it is the best she has ever appeared. Soon we will find out if she is as good as she looks in the film that I am sure will get a lot of Oscar noms with barely any wins.
When it comes to the feature in general, it feels like a very ’70s Rock’n’Roll movie. One we have seen before as in The Rose and The Jazz Singer. Which to me now are something I would watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon on TV. Is that good thing, yes and no. Yes, I was to see it, but not in a movie theater. Unless it was an old school one that looks like art house, has uncomfortable seats and goes completely dark. This just does not feel like something was made for 2018, it feels very 1978 when Rock’N’Roll and Disco were battling out on the music scene and on the big screen.
