There is one month left, and 2018 is about to pass.
Did everyone make up for the movies owed this year?
The end of the year means that the award season is getting closer and closer to us, and many movies that have received much attention have begun to appear slowly.
Today I will give you Amway a movie that is very likely to sweep the awards season.
"The Birth of a Star"
A Star Is Born
This IP can be traced back to 1937, and it will be reproduced every once in a while, and it has achieved a good reputation.
The 2018 version is the fourth remake of this IP.
As Warner's sweet pastry, he attaches great importance to every remake.
The most important point is reflected in the cast. The leading actor must be a powerful and topical star in Hollywood.
As early as 2011, it was reported on the Internet that Clint Eastwood directed and Beyoncé starred
The candidate for the male lead is simply a screaming lineup: Xiao Lizi, Will Smith, Christian Bale, "Uncle Wolf" and Brother Tom.
With the launch of Beyoncé because of the pay, the male lead's position fell on Bradley Cooper .
Cooper has been nominated for Oscars many times and has appeared in "The Hangover", "American Sniper", "American Hoax" and "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Clouds".
Cooper not only starred in the film himself, but also served as producer, screenwriter and director .
After his decision, the final candidate for the heroine fell on the queen Lady Gaga .
Facts have proved that the casting is correct, and Lady Gaga has become the biggest highlight of the film.
In the film , she played Avery , a singer-songwriter who was unsuccessful and unconfident.
I once dreamed of becoming a star by relying on my talents.
As the so-called ideal is full, reality is very skinny.
Just thinking about being a celebrity can't eat as a meal, to make a living, Avery had to go to the restaurant to serve dishes during the day.
In the evening she would sing in a transgender bar.
It was there that she met the man who changed his life- Jack (Bradley Cooper).
Jack is a talented and bohemian rock singer whose career is in full swing.
After a concert, he randomly came to a roadside bar, which was the bar where Avery was.
In the bar, he was attracted by Avery's singing on stage.
He hadn't heard such a beautiful song for a long time, and even after listening to it...cry.
I have confirmed singing, and I am a person who understands music.
In the background, Jack and Avery had the first close contact.
Gaga with heavy makeup removed must be the first time you have seen him, with deep and bright eyes.
Avery said that because of her big nose, everyone concluded that she could not become a star.
Jack doesn't think so:
You look good, and your nose is also good.
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to stroke Avery's nose, and matched it with the timely music.
The music gave them endless words.
In Jack’s eyes, Avery’s eyes hide the starlight of the entire universe;
In Avery's eyes, Jack's blonde hair gleamed like California gold.
Next, Jack took Avery around on tour.
Jack believes in her talent, she just lacks a stage to show off.
So Jack brought her the stage.
When she opened her voice, she immediately slayed the audience.
The two shared a microphone to sing, and the lights shone on them, as if they were covered with a layer of starlight.
Jack's eyes were full of love, and his smile was full of pride.
That night, he and millions of audience members witnessed the rise of a new star.
For Avery, Jack is not only a big star, but also his bole, mentor, and lover .
As soon as Avery became famous, many music companies came here and expressed their intention to sign her.
Release an album, hold a concert, and win a Grammy Award.
A proud career, a bumper harvest in love, and getting married with someone he loves makes Avery's life a smooth journey.
"It's all ideals to become a bride after changing the sky in the end," she was talking about.
It's just that she didn't realize at the time that the birth of a star was accompanied by the fall of another superstar .
After the film was released, word of mouth became popular across the board.
IMDb reached 8.2 points , and was selected into the IMDb Top list, ranking 233.
Freshness of rotten tomatoes: 90% .
In addition to getting high scores from major film and television websites, it has also won many awards so far.
In the 2018 National Critics Association Awards, he won best director, best actress, best supporting actor, and was selected as one of the ten best films of the year. At the 23rd Golden Satellite Awards, he was nominated for Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actress, and led the way with 11 nominations. The 22nd Hollywood Film Awards Annual Photography Award. ...
This has been very successful for Cooper, who became a director for the first time.
Gaga, who has always been eye-catching with flamboyant shapes, completely got rid of her popular impression this time, showing a clean and tidy face.
The character of Avery combines strength and weakness .
Gaga, who has a similar experience with Avery, is more like a true character.
In the first performance, he panicked, plucked up the courage to seize the decision to seize the opportunity, persistently chasing dreams, and loving someone with all his heart. Through his performance, Gaga enriched the character of Avery.
There are more than 20 original songs in the movie, which is comparable to a concert .
All songs are sung and recorded live. I believe that if you watch this movie, you will definitely add these songs to your playlist.
The first half of the movie is fascinating, and the chemistry between Cooper and Gaga is very good.
Just like "City of Philharmonic", the two people who need warmth the most come together and encourage each other to chase music and dreams.
This should be an exciting and exciting story.
But the inspirational story has a tragic core behind it .
On the surface it is talking about the birth of a star, but it is actually talking about the fall of a superstar.
Jack is the fallen superstar.
He used his personal connections and music influence to help Avery succeed.
But with it was his own music career declining.
Avery walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage;
Jack changed from front of the stage to behind the scenes, and finally became the background board of Avery.
It was he who personally sent Avery on the rocket of fame, and now Avery soared into the sky, leaving only Jack to stand still.
With this huge gap, Jack felt at a loss, he could only rely on alcohol to paralyze himself.
No matter how high Avery flies, how much Jack falls.
It has a similar beginning to "City of Philharmonic", but no similar ending.
If the ending of "City of Philharmonic" is embarrassing, then the ending of "A Star Is Born" is sighing.
The song "Shallow" that appeared in the first half of the story, when I heard it for the first time, I felt that it was a depressing sound from the mountains and running water.
But when you read the whole story and then listen to it, you will feel like you want to cry.
It's a sense of powerlessness that fate makes.
Tell me something girl (Bradley Cooper) Tell me something girl (Bradley Cooper) Are you happy in this modern world? Or do you need more? Is there something else you're searching for I'm falling In all the good times I find myself longing for for change And in the bad times I fear I am afraid of myself when I am in trouble Tell me something boy (Lady Gaga) Tell me something boy (Lady Gaga) Aren't you tired trying fill that void Or do you need more Want more Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore I'm falling I'm falling
This song sang the entire mental journey of the two people along the way.
The two became acquainted with music, but when their dreams shine into reality and the choice between love and career lies in front of them,
They are like what is sung in the song: We're far from the shallow now . (We are far from the shallow shore)
The choices of Jack and Avery in their music careers reflect the cruel survival of the fittest in the American entertainment industry.
If you don’t understand this, what Jack does in the second half is what we usually call "killing."
In insisting on the original intention or catering to the market, Jack chose the former.
Music is his life, music is his belief, he has given all for music, and he is always pursuing what he thinks is pure music.
Because of this, he fell in love with Avery.
After Avery became famous, he never saw the original intention of music from Avery again.
His belief in music was severely shattered by reality.
Jack hasn't realized that there is a generation of popularity from one generation to another.
I can't integrate myself, I can't keep up with the times, I'm destined to be eliminated, and everyone is lost in the end.
If it was just a vulgar love story between a gifted man and a beautiful woman, this IP would not have been remade so many times.
It is precisely because every time it remakes, it closely follows and pays attention to the plight of artists in the current American music era.
Each era has a different interpretation of the music industry and Vanity Fair, making this IP always have something to say and continue to rejuvenate.
"The Birth of a Star" is destined to be an IP of iron hit, the starring role of Liushui.
But what remains unchanged is always the persistence of chasing dreams and the beauty of love .
If we have to say goodbye,
Then please let me look at you again.
