A STAR IS BORN
“Look, talent comes everywhere, but having
something to say and a way to say it to have people listen to it, that’s a
whole other bag.“- Jackson Maine
Life as a star turns out to save unpleasant times. So fragile, so broken, even though from camera shots, everything looks fine. This picture that you will find in the latest Hollywood film titled A Star is Born. A Star Is Born is a United States 2018 romantic musical drama film directed by Bradley Cooper and produced by Bradley Cooper, Todd Phillips, Bill Gerber, Jon Peters and Lynette Howell Taylor. The script of this film was written by Eric Roth, Bradley Cooper and Will Fetters based on the film A Star Is Born in 1937 by William A. Wellman, Robert Carson, Dorothy Parker and Alan Campbell. The film stars Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga, Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Chappelle and Sam Elliott.
Jack (Bradley Cooper) lives from stage to stage to channel his hidden talents to chant the tones and lyrics that he created. As a star, Jack is always able to give the best to his fans. Every show, always watched by fans. However, on the one hand, Jack is a fragile figure. He could never quit alcoholism. The snare that can't be released when he still has the best chance to change. His brother Bobby (Sam Elliott) was not able to do much. As a more mature figure, Bobby even felt something was missing from Jack.
Moreover, as we get older, it makes Jack more and more "out of control". His opium and his love for music never stopped. It's just that, not a guitar that becomes a tandem in letting go of desire. There are more things than guitar, stage and audience that should make Jack let go of his desires. However, the arrival of Jack in a bar changed everything. He sees "the future". The future that can be his hope in melancholy becomes a tone of love and enthusiasm. Opium to change his life for the better than now.
Love is of course the main language of this film. However, it is packed with strong portrayals of characters from this film. Bradley Cooper may not be as perfect as Kris Kristofferson who played John Norman Howard in the film A Star is Born in 1976. However, Bradley Cooper was at least able to adapt the story of a musician who was upset at the present time. He is indeed not a true musician, but the way he plays himself as a musician deserves a thumbs up. The style that is messy, the hobby of getting drunk, to being very afraid of losing true love is a picture of a musician who often escapes reporting.
The future of Jackson was appear and it is named Ally (Lady Gaga). A restaurant employee who distributes his talents by singing in bars. She only complained on the notes on his head. She never did it seriously.
A song called "La Vie en Rose" which was hosted by Ally, made
Jackson keep looking at him, hoping, as well as shyly hinting at love.
Although Ally works as a waiter but his main passion is writing songs and singing. Because it is often considered bad and has a nose that is too big, he is not confident and chooses to hide his talent. Jackson encouraged Ally to appear and take her duet to the stage. Jackson's little help makes Ally confident and finds herself as a pop star. Conflict arose when Jackson became increasingly dependent on alcohol and drugs, while Ally became increasingly busy so that many communication problems arose.
There's more, depression! Issues that are often ignored, but become one thing that is vital in life. At least this is played nicely by Bradley Cooper as Jack. The dark past, the loss of the father who became his idol can be said as the origin of Jack unable to combine opium and love in the tones of life. Then, what about Lady Gaga? This is his first experience playing on the big screen. Although it still has shortcomings, however, Gaga has performed optimally in this film. His passive figure and his way of climbing fame like other pop stars have been well played. Everything blends into the intricacies of the drama that is interesting to watch.
This film is able to make the audience amazed with all the chemistry, songs, and the depth of character displayed. As a result, in several important moments such as when Ally first appeared in front of thousands of spectators and the final scene, the audience's emotions were turned upside down and not a few people in the cinema shed tears of emotion.
Even a brief meeting with Ally still looks very careful. However, afterwards, this film will flow to capture the journey from the lives of Jack and Ally. Although never sharply describe their lives briefly, but in this film you will be taken slowly drifting in the stories of Ally and Jack. Starting from the ice wrap in hand until the first kiss that landed from Jack's lips to Ally has begun to tell the journey of the two main characters in the film A Star is Born.
