ApplauseftAdele 4,730 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 This entire era has been weird for me as a LM... not just because of Gaga but the movie too. i feel like ASIB has almost become a pop culture phenomenon in a way. I mean the movie itself isn’t exactly super interesting (I never even heard of ASIB until this movie) but everyone is talking about it, and I’m assuming it’s a combination of it being a great movie and everyone being surprised by Gaga’s acting. I feel like this never really happens in movies these days, like when has a GOOD movie (aka non blockbuster) gotten this much attention? Or maybe it’s just cause I’m surrounded by Gaga fans who talk about it all the time, but I feel like this movie is getting INSANE coverage despite it not being the classic blockbuster. Obviously it’s a good thing it just feels weird. Another weird thing is the music’s success. Like on today’s top hits playlist on spotify, ALLY is the person on the cover. This feels just kinda weird, like there has never been a MOVIE CHARACTER on the TTH cover. Also the soundtrack has potential to get actual radio play and Shallow could definitely be a hit. im really glad Gaga had such success this era, but maybe it’s because it’s 2018 and movies like this normally don’t have this much coverage and impact, but (idk if I’m explaining this right, I can’t really put it in words) the ASIB era just seems so weird overall with the amount of success it’s getting. My theory is that it’s become a modern “instant classic” like Titanic? Like it’s almost universally praised and the soundtrack is like everywhere... but idk. like imagine if ... let’s say Beyonce did a movie and everyone praised it and her movie character’s face was on TTH cover and her soundtrack was slaying the charts. It’s just a weird concept that I can’t get used to it feels like a dream I hope that made sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe that Warner Bros is inve$ting a lot to make ASIB look like a cinematic masterpiece (as Titanic is; as one of the most impactful movies of all time), when it's not. Do not mistake my words, the movie is good and i enjoyed it, but that's it. It achieves it's goal, but its no game changer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris Walz 2024 1,451 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 If felt that way with C2C because it was such a departure from her previous work but it was a genuine and heartfelt era and so is this one. I wouldn't worry about it too much and just appreciate the work she put into it and Bradley and their teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katie14 4,828 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I only heard 3 different groups of people talking about it. 1. My co workers were talking about how they loved shallow and were excited for more music. 2. My acting teacher. My scene partner had a line about Madonna and my teacher was like, "are you all too young to know who madonna is? Its lady gaga now I guess. Speaking of lady gaga have any of you seen asib? Is it good?" Some people in my class saw it and said its good. 3. My parents told me they heard it got good reviews. Everyone definitely isnt talking about this movie.

MEM 2,937 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 You know why it feels weird? Because the world has been lacking meaning and ASIB has just come to save it. The entire entertainment industry has been so saturated with political agendas and too much of the same thing. ASIB brings back the “greatness” of what Hollywood used to be. A simple love story filled with touching music - the root of humanity. Bradley and Gaga are two humble, hard-working artists who, while legendary in their own ways, have been ‘slept on’ over the years. This is truly their moment and they really deserve all of the acclaim. They’ve made a masterpiece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
