 All right, so let's see now if this movie is worth all the hype. My name is Brandon Keith Avery, and this is just my opinion. Hey, what's going on everyone? Thank you so much for tuning in to my opinion slash review for A Star Is Born. I really do appreciate it. Now this film A Star Is Born is a remake of the 1937 original film of the same name which I have not seen. And actually this is the fourth film that is being remade by this same title. The interesting thing is the past three films, one of the main protagonists in the film which Bradley Cooper is playing in this new age one in 2018. His name was Norman, but in this film here his name is Jack. So that's one of the differences that I noticed when I was trying to look up some information. And Bradley Cooper is the writer and director of this film. This is also his directorial debut and I'll just go ahead and say that he did a damn good job. You know, he actually said in the past that he wanted to get into directing before acting but sometimes things just don't work out the way that we planned. But you know, of course he's a great actor and I can now say that he is a great director at least based on this film. Now there has been a lot of buzz with this film right here. It debuted at I think it was the Venice Film Festival earlier this year in August 13, August 31 of this year. After the film played, after it finished, you know, they got a Bradley Cooper Lady Gaga. They got a standing ovation for about eight minutes and there's been so much Oscar buzz around this film just saying, you know, how great the performances is and you know, all that good stuff and it is going to get some Oscar recognition. And I will go ahead and say that I do agree with that. I'll just go ahead and say that this is a fantastic film. It's a beautiful film. I would be pretty surprised if it did not get any type of Oscar nod, nominations or even win. But why not only because it's a great story but we have some great performances by both Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga herself. Now I am not necessarily a Lady Gaga fan. I don't have anything against her but I can say that after watching this movie right here, I am a fan of Lady Gaga. I mean, she did a great job singing on stage, on screen and she did a great job performing and this movie right here is going to make me want to pay attention to her work going on now in the future. But like, why is this movie good to me? Why is it so great? Like I said, it's a great story. It's full of passion and emotions. And I'm just really fond of like where the film focused. What it's about is Bradley Cooper's character, Jack. He is a seasoned musician. He has some alcohol and drug problems that he's dealing with. But he's still a fantastic musician. And just by going around the block or by look or however you want to say, he runs into Lady Gaga's character by the name of Ali and he just sees something in her and just wants her to reach these heights. He wants her to reach these goals of being the best new song writer slash musician and he's just kind of helping her along the way. Now, this film right here could have copied on a lot of the cliche tropes. You know, three act structure of a film to where, you know, you see the rise in the fall of, you know, a sad actor or actress or, you know, performer musician or something like that and how it focuses on, you know, how they try to, you know, go into the media and try to cater to everyone and become like the next best pop star and things like that. And how it tears them down, you know, on the inside out and things like that. You know, this film didn't really focus on that at all. What it focused on was the characters themselves and their relationship. And, you know, just kind of how they dealt with things. And I was just about to give a spoiler, but I don't want to do that. But, you know, the song choices in this film right here are just beautiful. I mean, they really had a lot of weight to them and meaning. And you felt it when, you know, they were singing on stage. And Lady Gaga also said in the past interview that she is tired of looking at movies to where the actors or actresses are trying to pretend and lip sync with the real songs and they really just don't do a great job of that. And of course, she will have a great eye because she is a real life, you know, recording artist. So she kind of knows her stuff. She knows her lane as far as that's concerned. So her and Bradley Cooper did get together and practice singing live on stage, you know, off camera and on camera. And, you know, their practice paid off because they just made a great duet on screen on stage. And, you know, I just thought it was really fantastic. Bradley Cooper also said himself in a couple of interviews that he took singing for granted because he just really did not know how difficult it was. But he did take some voice acting, not voice acting, but voice lessons just to, you know, really hit the nail down center home, you know, to give a great performance. But, you know, like I said, the film didn't focus on all that extra crap. It really focused on their relationships and the demons that they have to deal with. And, you know, when we're with me, a regular consumer, a regular person or whatever, when we see Beyoncé or Little Wayne or Lady Gaga or whoever the hell that is performing, whether they're on a movie screen, a TV show or recording artists or whatever, we got to put them on a pedestal that they're just like the perfect being and they have their life together and just does nothing wrong. And they just wake up every day freshly bathed, don't even have to wipe under their arms and put on deodorant. And just everything is just, you know, great and wonderful for them. But no, this film right here kind of just takes it, gives you a different perspective of their life and just kind of shows you, you know, everything that, you know, these normal people, you know, have to deal with. There was even a couple of scenes to where, you know, like it's kind of rude to where when you see a celebrity, you kind of just jump all in their face like, hey, can I take a picture? Can I take a picture? Yada, yada, I mean, that, you know, like they just want to eat their hamburger and fries too, or whatever, you know what I'm saying? Like everybody else, they don't want to be bothered. And the film kind of dealt with it. And I like the way that they dealt with that. I kind of said that back to back. Another thing that was just kind of fascinating to me is just like their relationship. And, you know, just kind of how they handle just certain situations that, you know, they had to go through and like different hardships and things like that. And one of the things that spoke to me the most when I was watching this film is something that I can relate to, something that I did with going up is always worrying about what other people think of you and that you shouldn't do that. It's just really none of your business. You know, do your thing. Don't worry about what other people think. And if you really have, if you truly really just have somebody that's down for you, like a down as chick or down as dude or whatever, you know what I'm saying? That just has your back no matter what. There's your support system right there. That's all you have to worry about as far as somebody worrying about you. All the other stuff is just, you know, random noise that you can, you know, just let go through one ear and out the other. And, you know, this film really put that on the forefront. But it was a beautiful film, great performances, great acting, great singing, great passion, great emotion. I didn't tear up or anything like that when I was watching it, but I can hear all the sniffles and, you know, running noses and all that. When the theater, when I was watching it, people just getting really emotional. And so I really do recommend you see this film is like I said, it's fantastic. It's just the beautiful film on so many levels. And I would really be surprised if it did not get any type of Oscar attention. If I had to rate a star is born out of a one out of 10, I would give this a 9.5 out of 10. Yes, a 9.5 out of 10. But guys, that is just my opinion.
