anonanon 932 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 This was an interesting thread to read through. I have a lot of opinions on the film in general, but I didn't find it Bradley Cooper heavy to the point of vanity. Considering the amount of involvement he had, it actually seems a little more balanced compared to other films I've seen where the writer also directs and acts. I do agree that Jackson is the protagonist and I was a little surprised by how much male energy it had. Not that it is a bad thing, but just unexpected based on marketing, which I think maybe is part of your point? Edited just now by anonanon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oriane 21,045 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 No, I liked that finally, an emphasis was being made about his character and his problems, I found that the other versions were treating that in a shallow way. I've always thought that this was what the story was about : how her rise to fame is impacting him. I prefer seeing it from his point of view than an external point of view. how I didn't notice that Gaga's character was less important, or had less screen time or anything. I only saw it once though, I'll try to pay attention to that if I watch it a second time. And she was pretty much already taking the spotlight with the music, it's good that there was a balance and Bradley could compensate with the acting.

LOVE JUNKIE 3,299 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 My initial reaction when I first saw ASIB in theaters was "I feel like a lot was cut out". Perhaps the film was more balanced or even more Ally-centric before it reached the editing room. on a three day bender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
