Upon watching a Star is Born my overall thoughts of the movie was that it was fantastic. I would rate this movie an 8.5/10. The movie highlighted the struggles that celebrities face on a day to day basis. In the beginning of the movie, Jack first meets Ally at a drag bar and brings her to another bar after where people recognize Jack and beg to take photos with him. This happens another instance when they are in the grocery store and the cashier takes a picture of him without his knowledge. These scenes show that celebrities often times are not treated as normal human beings with normal problems that everyone faces as well. Going along with problems, throughout the movie we see that Jack struggles with alcohol and drug abuse. Many scenes shows his struggles for example, is in Memphis visiting a friend but didn’t make it to the front door as he was too intoxicated and ends up sleeping outside on the street. Throughout a Star is Born, it also highlights the struggle of finding yourself and being okay with the person you are. Before Ally was famous, her style of singing was more melancholy and emotional. After she got signed with a record label, she shifted into more of a pop theme. Her manager tells her that she has to change herself in order for her fans to love her. He suggests to go blonde and to change up her general style. In a performance she does alone she decided not to dance with her backup dancers and for that she gets yelled at. Later on she is preforming on a talk show with backup dancers. As her fame increases Ally is adjusting her life accordingly. What I loved most about a Star is Born was that it did not romanticize being famous and did not show Ally and Jacks relationship as being perfect. The movie showed them getting into multiple fights about numerous topics. It also highlighted Jacks struggles with his father and them having a rocky relationship ever since he was a child. A critique I would have for the movie is that at some points I had trouble understanding Jack and his father because they would mumble and they had an accent which made it a little harder for me to understand as well. The movie also had a tragic ending which made me sad but the ending scene of Ally singing the song Jack wrote for her made it a powerful movie.
