The musical romantic R-rated drama ‘A Star is Born’ was released in theaters on Oct. 5 and is ready for a nomination at the Oscars. Soon-to-be best motion picture starring actor Bradley Cooper and singer-songwriter Lady Gaga astonished viewers with strong, soulful vocals and impressive acting talents beyond any expectations. The chemistry between the prominent roles, Jackson Maine and Ally, spontaneously ignited and produced a decent, yet endearing, love story. 

Cooper, also the director of the movie, plays the role of Maine. Maine is a country musician who struggles with an alcohol and a drug addiction in order to cope with problems concerning his image in the music industry and a fear of losing all his hearing due to a physical condition called tinnitus. Ally, played by Gaga, is an artist who is unaware of the raw and pure talent she possesses.

Throughout the movie, I was in complete awe of how Cooper and Gaga uniquely transformed into phenomenal characters that audiences had an immediate connection with. Maine first discovers Ally in a drag bar and drag queens can be seen in the short scene that provides the long-awaited, new element of diversity to many.

From the moment they met, it was charming to see how Maine recognizes her beauty and how gifted Ally was when she does not see those qualities in herself. I was overcome with emotions as the two became an inseparable couple who sings in harmony together.

As Ally reaches success with stardom, Maine falls deeper into old habits of alcohol and drugs. Despite the crippling addictions, the pair hardly fights and is mostly seen lifting each other with their undying love and with songs genuinely sung from the heart.

Bring plenty of Kleenex tissues, buy a large-sized popcorn to eat your feelings and cry your eyes out until you can cry no more on this emotional journey you won’t forget.
