I went into this film not sure what to expect. I had see all the previous renditions of this film and wasn't necessarily disappointed by any of them. The only thing going through my head before was yet another remake. However, the fact that Lady Gaga was starring was big enough of a draw to pull me in let alone Bradley Cooper. From the moment the film started it had my attention. It was filmed flawlessly and the story was fantastic. It really does a good job at showing a plethora of feelings through amazing acting and story telling that we in our millennial generation have been denied until now. It combines the great parts of old Hollywood's story telling style, removes the parts that don't work, and creates a storytelling hybrid fit for any audience member of any generation. Perhaps even better is the music written for this film. It was done so well that you literally felt like you were there live at the concerts.
Regardless of if you think Lady Gaga is your style or not you need to go see this movie. It is an amazing story of triumph over adversity and the sad realities of trauma in many respects. This film really truly is the best piece of cinematic work I think I have ever seen in 26 years. In a side note, this is deffinitely an adult movie and not meant for the kiddies. If you get a chance to as well, see this while it is in theater still. The experience of it on the big screen is incomparable to any other experience. The sound is without a doubt amazing.
