A Star is Born (2018) is a remake of the classic tale of a rising star and a falling star. It has all the elements of a country song: the thrill, the bottle of booze, the addiction, the sex, the love, the ultimate disappointment, and the tragedy. Of course there are the cowboy boots and hat, the exciting concerts, the rock n' roll, and a little country flavor without being tacky. In the end it's a well told and acted love story.
It brought me fond memories of Nashville, though music City is never even mentioned... the closest they get is Memphis. What surprised me? Bradley Cooper's deep voice. Lady Gaga looking normal. The powerful moment of Shallow... a very (!) rare event of goose bumps for me. The melodramatic end and the corresponding sobbing around the theatre.
