Film 1685 - A Star Is Born

Intro: Il caso cinematografico e pop del 2018, ovvero imperdibile!
Film 1685: "A Star Is Born" (2018) di Bradley Cooper
Visto: al cinema
Lingua: inglese
Compagnia: Jenny
In sintesi: onestamente ero molto, molto scettico. Sia perché non trovavo necessario il terzo remake di uno stesso film, sia perché la scelta di Lady Gaga come protagonista mi pareva discutibile. Col passare del tempo e considerato il successo globale riscontrato, una parte di me era assurdamente curiosa di capire come potesse essere successo che un titolo a cui avevo dato così poco credito potesse aver trovato un riscontro tanto sensazionale.
Ora diciamocelo, "A Star Is Born" non è un capolavoro, ma sicuramente ha il grande pregio di combinare intelligentemente una storia vecchia come il mondo - lui famoso e su una strada difficile, lei sconosciuta e talvolta indifesa, ma estremamente talentuosa: si innamorano e collaborano - con una colonna sonora molto contemporanea e ben riuscita grazie a una Lady Gaga in formissima e un Bradley Cooper sorprendentemente dotato. Detto questo, a mio avviso i grandi prodigi di questa pellicola terminano qui. Gaga è brava a fare Gaga, ovvero una cantante non convenzionalmente bella, ma dalla voce e il talento pazzeschi, il che non sminuisce la sua performance, ma di certo non la eleva a indimenticabile. E fino ad ora l'ho sempre vista vestire i panni dell'eccentrica o della dotata, che sia qui, in "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" o "American Horror Story: Hotel". Insomma, mi pare giocasse un po' in casa. Mentre ho trovato eccessiva la fine riservata al personaggio di Cooper, Jack, a tratti quasi scontata;
"A Star Is Born" mi ha lasciato una buona impressione generale, anche se non ho stabilito una connessione con i suoi personaggi protagonisti o la storia in generale. Mi aspettavo il finale drammatico visto il rimando quasi didascalico di una scena iniziale e nonostante tutte le mie buone intenzioni non mi sono innamorato della coppia Ally + Jack come, invece, ha fatto il resto del globo. Col tempo, però, ho imparato ad apprezzare "Shallow" che, ammetto, avevo inizialmente ignorato e anche con un certo stupido snobismo.
A un anno di distanza da quando ho visto la pellicola al cinema, comunque, sento di poter dire di aver in parte rivalutato la mia prima impressione su questo remake che no, non è un capolavoro, ma è certamente meglio di quello che sarebbe potuto essere stato (ovvero un disastro. Tra i tanti considerati anche Beyoncé, Tom Cruise, Will Smith e Jennifer Lopez...).
Cast: Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Chappelle, Sam Elliott, Greg Grunberg, Shangela, Willam, Ron Rifkin, Michael Harney, Halsey, Alec Baldwin.
Box Office: $435 milioni
Vale o non vale: Fan di Gaga buttatecivi come se non ci fosse un domani; fan dei musical qui c'è pane per i vostri denti; fan di Cooper non rimarrete indifferenti al suo fascino da bello e dannato (e pure un po' abbrustolito visto il livello di pigmentazione cutanea facciale). Per tutti gli altri questo "A Star Is Born" è un esperimento che può piacere per innumerevoli ragioni, come non. Io mi aspettavo di meglio sicuramente, ma col tempo ho imparato a riconsiderarne certi aspetti sicuramente ben riusciti e realizzati.
Premi: Candidato a 8 Oscar - tra cui Miglior film, sceneggiatura, attrice protagonista (Gaga), attore protagonista e non protagonista (Cooper e Elliott) - la pellicola ha vinto per "Shallow" come Miglior canzone originale (Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando, Andrew Wyatt). 5 nomination ai Golden Globe (anche Miglior film e attori protagonisti) e premio per la Miglior canzone. Ai BAFTA il film ha vinto per la Migliore musica su 7 nomination (anche qui Miglior film e attori). Ai Grammy di quest'anno la pellicola - candidata anche per Record of the Year e Song of the Year - ha vinto 2 premi per Best Pop Duo/Group Performance e Best Song Written for Visual Media per "Shallow"; ai Grammy 2020 il film ha ricevuto 3 ulteriori menzioni: Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media e Song of the Year e Best Song Written for Visual Media per la canzone "I'll Never Love Again".
Parola chiave: Musica.
