Hello world, my name is Eminem, and let me tell you that as a musician myself, this movie is amazing. Even the name, a STAR is Born…you know someone is about to make some great music. Music carries the movie throughout, and this is why I am such a huge fan. From the opening scene (which features Bradley Cooper singing Black Eyes), there is explosion of high energy awesome music, take a look!
As Bradley Cooper’s character (Jackson Maine) has a very exciting and awesome intro to the movie, Ally (played by Lady Gaga) has an amazing intro of her own. She shows why she is the perfect partner in crime to Jackson.
Ally shows her true ability here, and it’s this humble beginning which is the foundation for her personality. This is what I really enjoy about this movie; both Jackson and Ally are humble people at heart, and are not ego-chasing maniacs. Ally works a normal job in NYC to start out, while working at this music club at night. She really has no true path of being a true professional until Jackson comes into her life. This is what makes her so relatable to so many aspiring artists out there. Many talented individuals are doing their thing every day and have the talent to make it, but not the right opportunities. Ally took advantage of hers, and met her lover along the way.
Jackson and Ally’s relationship is another part of this movie that is really awesome. Although Ally comes from a more humble start in the movie, they are both very similar comparable. It is ironic that throughout the course of the movie Jackson becomes overshadowed by the on who he brings into the industry.
It is really interesting to me to see this movie depict the hardships that a performer can go through. Not every famous musician goes through trials like the ones Jackson Maine experiences in the movie, but there are struggles that anyone can go through, and this is shown throughout the movie. Specifically, is his battle with alcohol, and how it has consumed his life.
In matter of fact, Ally is the reason why Jackson goes sober during his relationship with her, as he does not want his bad habits to come in the way of them two. It is awesome to see his character develop, especially in the scene where Ally sees him recover.
As a musician, you can always respect when someone works hard to obtain their goals. This is exactly what Ally does…she becomes a number #1 best seller in the US Ally’s character development is one that is somewhat expected (in the name of the movie), but she is very likable and relatable to she diffidently won me over. As Jackson’s alcoholism returns I personally felt so bad for him. He had so much potential as a person that was wasted through his addiction. It is a shame that Ally can’t be with her love, and that Jackson chose to take his own life to stop hurting his love (which ultimately hurt her the most).
All in all, I give this movie a 10/10. Amazing music, storyline, character development, and it had me in tears at the end. I listen to Shallow all the time, and although i there are no raps in the movie, I still think it is amazing!!!
