A Star is Born (PG) ****
Cry For Me!
Music fans the world over knows who Lady Gaga is. After
a few small bit parts in largely forgettable films the divine one
pulls off an astonishing leading lady performance as the central
character in A Star is Born. Presented across British Columbia
by Warner Brothers enjoy this bonafide tearjerker at Cineplex
Cinemas and Landmark Theatres across Canada’s westernmost
foremost province.
We all know Lady Gaga can sing. But who’s would believe
handsome chivalrous Bradley Cooper can give her a good run
for her money. Word in the street is that after Cooper saw and
heard our good lady sing a classic Eva Peron song at the elegant
home of a high-profile friend
the deal was sealed. Welcome to what I believe is the fourth
version of the classic love story that follows perfectly the prince
versus pauper story line
Cooper not only stars and sings in this two-hour
blockbuster but bares his soul and is very effective in his
directorial debut. Cast as the once on the top now struggling
rock star Jack Maine the boy gets smitten with a chance moment
listening to a low level like bug singer wannabe who moonlights
as a performer. Her name is Ally and when words each ears the
magic gets transformed. Lost in a real dream the two hit I off,
become friends, and embark on a road ready romance second
to none.
Money and fame can buy anything - but love. As gradually
Jane’s rising career shadow cast large over Jack’s diminishing
returns you just know there will be a day of reckoning. Through
it all we see the intimacy of two creative sounds explode on stage
and then engulf their outer world with riveting ramifications.
Standout singing, superb secondary characters anchored by the
always dependable Sam Waterson and a true to life larger than
last few romances converge to make A Star is Born any true
romantics wet dream fantasy a reality.
