These are the stories of women from three different eras, discovering themselves in different eras.
Last year, a movie called "The Birth of a Star" can be said to be a sensation
was publicized by the media, saying that this is the work of LADY GAGA, it can be said that it has attracted the attention of the public
as a transformation of LAD GAGA For this work, Dogen also watched the old-fashioned tacky story of
for the first time, and after reading it, it made people feel very confusing. Later, I learned that this story is not the first time it has been put on the big screen, LADY GAGA The version is already the fourth version
Taking advantage of the enthusiasm, Dowon saw the other two versions at once
Let’s talk about three women in different eras and their stories
"The Birth of a Star" has been retaken four times, and the structure is basically the same. The over-tempered male star meets the young girl, and the two compose a love song. The young girl finally becomes a superstar, and the young girl finally becomes a superstar. The final end of the male star is the same.
This time I was fortunate enough to watch three versions, namely "Starry Dream" starring Judy Garland in the 1950s.
"Star Dreams" starring Barbra Streisand in the 1970s, and last year by the goddess LADY Starring GAGA ("The Birth of a Star"
After watching these three movies, I have a lot of thoughts. Why can this story be remade by Hollywood?
Of course, this story has its innate and moving qualities. The ordinary village girl turned into a superstar, the tragic love, and more importantly, the countless behind the scenes of the gorgeous stage, those ups and downs, struggles, shining stages, and depressed depression.
These three movies have successfully presented classics , An instant hit and popular magic moment, we witnessed the birth of a superstar
on the screen and the fall of another superstar behind it. This is a story written by Hollywood for ourselves. One superstar replaces the other, and Hollywood is always at
. In the old Fanghua, everyone has a short chance to shine.
The three versions of the heroines I have seen gave completely different performances, and the script also gave the three heroines completely different personalities. And background.
Judy Garland’s version is more traditional, and as far as the three heroines are concerned, she is most in need of a man’s help, because at that time Hollywood was a studio system and could not become a movie without signing a contract with the studio. Star.
Therefore, the help of the heroine is really necessary for her. Her role is a bit naive, and she seems the most passive among the three heroines. Although her acting career is still attributed to her talent, she does need someone to introduce her. Entering the studio at the time.
starring Barbra Streisand, she is articulate, clever, and confident in her singing. In this film, she responds to the actor with sparks
compared to Judy. In the Garland version, Barbra Streisand is more like a rebirth of fresh air for the male protagonist. Her sense of salvation for the male protagonist is stronger. Women have gradually changed from a passive role to a male redeeming role.
In the latest LADY GAGA version, she has evolved from a girl who lacks confidence in her appearance. In the relationship between men and women, she has gradually changed from a jerky amateur to a powerful woman.
is no longer just an introduced outsider, her salvation to the hero There is also less ink. The new version emphasizes the growth of the character itself. This is also the common point of the three versions. They all show a kind of growth in the film.
and compare the three heroines' plays together, You can also feel the progress of female characters in the movie, from passive waiting to proactive attack, from a puppet shaped by a person to finding their own voice Sounds, the heroine of each generation has more advanced and modern aspects than the previous generation. I think this is very interesting.
I think the end of the movie is the most exciting performance of the three heroines, but it is also the most impressiveThe last line of Judy Garland, a modern
, she introduced herself as "I am Mrs. Norman Maine" . In the morality of the 1950s, a wife who suffered a tragedy stood up independently and was very touching;
Barbra Streisand’s version, sang a song at the end, from the calm at the beginning to tears to regaining the calm, I think it is a very delicate and layered performance;
and LADY GAGA’s last scene I think is very outstanding Starting from the fragile voice expression, she interprets the process of finding herself on stage.
These are the stories of women from three different eras who discovered themselves in different eras, so the same tragedy has different meanings
because they faced the tragedy from different angles in their respective eras, from Finding power and self in tragedy is no longer an object to be discovered and dominated by men, but a woman who finally becomes herself completely.
and the three male protagonists are basically the same role. In the past few decades, the male role seems to have hardly changed.
They are more than happy for their partner’s success, and they care more about their prosperity. After all, no matter whether the heroine depends on them, redemption, or equal partnership, no amount of love will be able to save their self-devouring depression
This can be said to be a constant theme for men It can also be said to be the cruel reality of the entertainment industry. The birth of a superstar is always accompanied by the death of another superstar.
LADY GAGA has many tribute moves forward, such as inviting the previous version of the heroine Barbra Streisand to the new version of the filming scene, LADY GAGA's own Golden Globe dress, actually inspired by Judy Garland in the film A set of similar styles
in this classic story of death and birth, the real driving emotions are the two people who are in the relationship between death and birth. Their deep love for each other
but I can’t help but think about it. The version of this era is actually the self-consciousness of women in different eras, encountering the unshakable male self-esteem, and this whole comparison is very interesting.
"The Birth of a Star" is a very romantic movie, he has the most classic love words " I want to see you again" , "I like the way you are"
but in a successful woman and Among the men who cannot face failure, no matter how much effort the women make, during the birth of the superstar, the hero will always become a fragment after the explosion.
