Jester 6,314 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I saw the movie yesterday and I think reading reviews and watching all trailers, interviews and previews ruined it for me. I couldn't forget that I was looking at Gaga acting. And constantly thinking ok she did good here, ok Gaga I see your here, etc. And I knew how amazing the reviews are so I was kinda waiting for something to happen and shake me up, but it just didn't. And I never truly started seeing them as a couple. Titanic makes me tear up and ASIB didn't, I'm so sad tbh. And I see that the story is emotional and great and I should resonate, but it didn't happen. What's wrong with me, should I try again? Is it because of too much info before? Or maybe because I'm obsessed with the lead actress? Anybody with a similar experience? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aga Gydal 3,158 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Go watch it again with a less critical eye. I’ve ****ed up the experience before by being too critical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef 61,598 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I mean it’s hardly a surprise you didn’t become invested given that you kept viewing Gaga as Gaga and noting her strengths and weaknesses.  Maybe go again and clear your mind of all preconceptions Signature loading… 👹🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoebitch11 3,924 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 It's bound to happen, that gaga fans are focusing more intensely on the film. But it's kinda like if you had a sibling in a movie... it would be hard to like... be convinced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lextyr97 19,968 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I had the EXACT same problem. Give it a day or so, and you’ll love it and then rewatch it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S0436 10,215 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Watch the BR video first and then watch the movie, then you will see what a great actress she is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling 31,437 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I was LEGIT going to make a post for this as we had parallel experiences. I felt somewhat let down mainly because I knew so much about the film and the songs. I really wanted heartbreak at the end and just didn’t feel it. Going to see it again tonight (and tomorrow  ) with the advice of a less critical eye. Sometimes we are TOO critical of our Queen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAGAXO 32 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I felt a really similar way at first. I saw it for the first time on Tuesday and was a bit overwhelmed by gaga and I felt that I didn't feel what the movie was trying to make me feel because I was too focused on looking for moments for people to impressed by gaga. It was just bizarre. I felt like I was trying to please everyone in the theater even though I have absolutely nothing to do with gaga's performance or the audience's perception of it. BUT I saw it again last night and it was completely different. Now that I wasn't totally obsessed with gaga's performance, I was able to appreciate the message and impact that the film was trying to send and it so much more rewarding for me. I am seeing it tonight and Friday night and I feel like I am going to appreciate it more and more each time. SO to answer your question, yes I would try again and I think you'll be happily surprised with the outcome. -Patrick :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that I didn't believe in the emotional story that I was watching, I was watching two people play characters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
