A Star is Born is a film about a young woman who writes her own music and has failed to become a well-known singer because of her looks. Bradley Cooper, known as Jackson Maine, is a recovering alcoholic that has ran into a lady who would change is whole perspective in life and who he would inspire to pursue dreams and goals. One can call this a remarkable tragic love story about two people who found each other and made each other better. Lady Gaga, who plays Ally, is afraid of record labels pinning a face to her name because of her looks, Big Nose, rounder face, and freckles. In reality, Ally despite not fitting into the conventional model of what a women should look like, she is a beautiful and vibrant woman. She doesn’t see this and thus this stops her from taking action and moving forward with her goals. On the contrary, Ally’s character in real life, Lady Gaga, despite understanding the she has “very Italian features” she embraced who she was and did not let that stop her drawing her keyboard to gigs in the New York area and from sending demos to major record labels. She is a fearless and multi-talented warrior ,and her faith and persistence is what got her to achieve all the fame and recognition that she well deserves right now. In a Barbara Walters Interview with Lady Gaga, the songstress stated that “I had this dream, and I really wanted to be a star. And I was almost a monster in the way that I was really fearless with my ambitions.”(NBC). Miss Gaga has such ambition that she visualized and practiced her away into the music industry and forgot all about how different her looks were and embraced them, wearing vibrant and colorful makeup to showcase her looks. She even celebrated herself through fashion, such as the famous “meat dress”. Still, in the film, her character Ally has allowed her ambition to be crushed by old white men who do not think her looks will bring them in any profits. In fact, they are negating her true talent who will in fact bring in people. Ally has a beautiful powerhouse of a voice and she should still continue to strive to latch onto a record deal because she deserves it. I can see why Lady Gaga chose to play this character because its so different from her who she is and the faith she has kept all her life. She wanted to understand what it was like to be in someone else’s shoes and playing Ally, it was a whole other experience for her and that is why she could not get over her character. Recently, on the Ellen show she spoke of her character Ally and how she developed respect for her because she overcame her obstacles, no matter doing them on her own or having Bradley Cooper’s character help her on the rise to fame.
