I loved this movie!
The storyline reached reality, and it captured beautiful love scenes along with the horrors of addiction. By showing the tip of the iceberg of alcohol and drug addiction, it saved the movie. Had they shown the reality in its fullest, it would have overpowered the sensuality of the love story.
Lady Gaga was excellent, and Bradley Cooper was even better. The excellent close-up photography captured the ‘look of love’ in each actor such that I couldn’t imagine that this was not reality.
Awesome and then some!
I thought that I had seen the original movie, then I remembered why I didn’t.
Forty plus years ago, Elvis and Barbara Streisand were selected to play the leads. Later, Colonel Parker, Elvis’s agent nixed the deal primarily because of top billing issues. So, I couldn’t watch it because Chris Christopherson was no Elvis. LOL.
