![]() This really isn't the type of movie I'd normally be into, and honestly from the trailers I thought it looked like s***, but hey, when it works it work, and this works. It's an over-the-top and melodramatic story, but somehow he directs it in a way that never feels that way, which is honestly a work of magic on his part. I think a big part of that is Bradley Cooper's direction, he makes the whole thing feel real and grounded and keeps us with him. There's something about A Star is Born that feels much more genuine in its motivations. It doesn't have the same sense of grotesque self-importance that something like This is Us on TV or any number of Oscar bait movies past have had in their tear-porn intentions. However, I can't deny that the manipulation works and I was weirdly never bothered by the manipulation. A friendship develops, then blossoms into romance before tensions increase as Esther's career takes off while Norman's continues to plummet. It's tear porn, and it's explicit and deliberate in is manipulative intentions. A Star Is Born (1954) BluRay 1080p YTS YIFY Norman Maine, a movie star whose career is on the wane, meets showgirl Esther Blodgett when he drunkenly stumbles into her act one night. Here's the thing: this movie is manipulative as hell, don't try to deny it.
