A Star is Born 1954

So there were three version of this movie. The one i watched was the one in 1954. The movie was 3 hours long. Yup that long.

It was a show within a show. 
Pretty normal of like a girl rising into fame, marry the guy who makes her famous, and the guy lost his job and commit suicide in the end. So yah, pretty standard storyline in today context.

Lots of songs as Esther Blodgett was found by Norman Maine singing a song. So it was all about the music. The songs and dance the etc. I like the part where they just show photographs with background speech, makes it more real, like a documentary.

I love the part where he propose to her and she said no, thank you. He asked why not she reasoned. He said stuff, she said he wouldn't be Norman Maine if he does that. Then asked if he really go do all that for her if they got married and he say no, then "that's too much public a proposal to me to say no to, i accept."

The news and paparazzi are told bout them about to get married and stuff. See, no such thing such a nice thing.

It was great that she did not give up. So, its something to learn there. Never give up. And when a star rises another fall. It is quite true isn't it? Like no two person can take the fame.
