A Star Is Born premiered at the Venice film festival to great acclaim. The film, directed by Bradley Cooper and starring Lady Gaga, was bound to make some people talk, but no one expected it to get serious Oscar buzz. Maybe the initial hesitance was due to the fact that audience members tend to be more critical of actors-turned-directors, or maybe it’s because the movie is the third remake of a film that originally premiered in 1937. Whatever the reason, A Star Is Born has been at the forefront of people’s minds, including those that aren’t as involved with the film community.
A Star Is Born‘s presence on the internet is pervasive, with various social commentators turning it into one of the most anticipated movies of the year. The perfectly cut trailer, which has been viewed over 97,000 times, is also a contributing factor.
Showing the audience just the right amount of content to entice them, the clip features Bradley Cooper singing country music (??!!) and an under-dressed Lady Gaga that looks like a completely different person. When the trailer builds up to the part where she starts to sing, it’s hard not to get swept up by the grandiosity of it all — the beautiful sunsets, the romance, and all that screaming. Naturally, the memes started popping up in all forms.
