destruction and birth

I remember that I watched this movie on my mobile phone when I was playing outside, but the appeal was not weak at all. I fell asleep after thinking about it for a long time at night, and when the sun sets on the beach, a man listens to his beloved. I fell asleep in the resonance of the song going to death, and that kind of emotion makes people hang their hearts for a long time and cry for it. Tears (to be honest, my English is very poor, and the subtitle version doesn't translate the song and dance parts, but it doesn't seem to weaken the emotion at all), I want to say that the movie seems to shape the characters and the situation too well, Judy Garland's performance It is so sincere and moving, which is not only the talent of director George Cook, but also Mason's acting skills. These two roles jointly shaped the birth and destruction of this heartbreaking star. After watching it many times, every time Once at the beginning, when Mason woke up in the bedroom, the melody of "Gotta Have Me Go With You" sounded softly, and the visual sense shook him extremely strongly, as did the destruction in the sunset song at the end.

I don't like the way the ending is handled, I've watched it multiple times and always choose to end where Mason goes to ruin, which is the emotional climax of the movie, and it's not very good to extend it. The singing and dancing part is wonderful, but not how well planned or how new (the bedroom part is exquisitely planned and full of new ideas, but other than that, it is only traditionally used to narrate and express characters). The first "Gotta Have Me Go With You" opened, funny, but it created a strong sense of sight somewhere; the subsequent "The Man That Got Away" was amazing and extremely romantic; and then "Here's WhatI'm Here For" "Lose That Long Face", "Born In A Trunk", and "Someone At Last" all express things in Garland's voice and eyes, and the beauty of the last song "It's A New World" is already unbearable. said.

    A classic musical, but beyond the scope of musicals, it explores profound propositions such as "artistic life" and "what is true love". Although life is like a drama and many hardships, fortunately, we have a sincere love for each other, and let a star continue to shine with tears! Completing and sacrificing each other for love, singing all the sorrows and sorrows of performing arts. Although the Oscar did not give any affirmation to the film, it did not damage the brilliance of the film, and Judy Garland is destined to be a star forever, her singing skills are really awesome!

    Why do so many people think this story is about showbiz? It is clearly about love and life, and it mainly explores the tragedy and pain of falling in love with someone with addiction problems such as an alcoholic/gambler/addict. It's true that this kind of person loves you, and is often charismatic and passionate about you when healthy, but it's also true that they are physically and mentally weak and can't control themselves, and will destroy two people's lives. Some couples with mental and mental illness do the same...it's an unsolvable problem. Poor souls.

A Star Is Born quotes

  • Norman Maine: Of course you're scared! We all are! What makes you think you wouldn't be?

  • Vicki Lester: He's in a sanitarium. He really wants to stop drinking, Oliver. He's trying very hard. I know he is. What is it? What is it that makes him want to destroy himself? You've known him longer than anyone else. Tell me what it is. Please. I don't care but just tell me.

    Oliver Niles: Don't you think I've tried through the years to know why, to help him? I don't know, Esther. I don't know what the answer is.

    Vicki Lester: Well, I've got to find the answer. You don't know what it's like to watch somebody you love just crumble away bit by bit and day by day in front of your eyes and stand there helpless. Love isn't enough. I thought it was. I thought I was the answer for Norman. But love isn't enough for him. And I'm afraid of what's beginning to happen within me... because... sometimes I hate him. I hate his promises to stop and then the watching and waiting to see it begin again. I hate to go home to him at night and listen to his lies. My heart goes out to him because he tries - he does try. But I hate him for failing. I hate me, too. I hate me cause I've failed, too. I have. I don't know what's going to happen to us, Oliver. No matter how much you love somebody... how do you live out the days?
