A Star is Born

A man who is someone finds a girl who is talented and ambitious at the same time. The girl reaches the peak with the help of the man. At this time, the once tall man has declined by comparison.

This is a favorite theme for a class of literary works. I read such a story in Pirandello's Lemons of Sicily. Doris Day's love me or leave me repeats such a story, while Judy Garland and her daughter Lisa Minnelli, respectively, A Star is Born and New York, New York, which constantly deduces this story.

Stories like this are always sad, in which you can read the cold and warm nature of the world and the cruelty of human nature, but the helplessness of the changing world is the final tone of this story, like a star fading and another new star born, or a daughter When I grew up, my father was old, and thousands of sails passed by the side of the sunken ship. The cruelty and helplessness of the rotation of old and new gave this kind of story an eternal charm.

But A Star is Born is the sweetest and saddest movie of its kind I've ever seen. New york, New york has the calmness and restraint of adults. Although Love me or Leave me also contains understanding and tolerance for people, Doris Day is always more mature and colder than Judy Garland. The Sicilian lemon, on the other hand, is a ruthless critique of human selfishness. But there is no ungrateful, or a female star in a dilemma between career and family in A Star is Born. Judy Garland has always been the kind and gentle little girl that people are familiar with, who knows how to think about others and bring joy to people. Even at the height of her career, she never forgot who made her what she is today. She always cares about her husband, respects him, loves him, makes him happy, and the two "I just want to take a good look at you again" scene at the beginning and end, Judy Garland in James Mason's slightly overhead subjective point of view , always presented as a daddy's little girl. Because of Judy Garland, this film is very touching and sentimental.
