Cooper and Lady Gaga have amazing chemistry, and from the moment you see the two on screen together for the first time you feel the connection. The characters of Jackson Maine (Cooper) and Ally (Lady Gaga) drive the entire story in what is essentially a film with only half a dozen notable characters. Perhaps Cooper was more inspired by performance, rather than aesthetic, as the acting is one aspect out of many that shines in Cooper's version. When Streisand and Kristofferson remade the film, (for the fourth time at that point) in 1976, they broke one of the aforementioned expectations, as they both took home Golden Globes for their performances. Director and Co-Star Bradley Cooper's film seemingly borrows more from the Streisand/Kristofferson iteration of A Star is Born (the last time this story was retold), as the dynamic between the two lovers hinges on the music industry. The two fall in love, but while their relationship develops, their entertainment careers go in different directions. Every version of a Star is Born follows a broken celebrity, in the Winter of his career, damaged by years of drinking who is suddenly reborn when meeting a young ingénue. (Or remakes of remakes of remakes.) In order to make the venture worthwhile, the film makers not only have to stay close to the ideas of original film, but they have to have a reason to retell the story. Change, however, is a key word when it comes to remakes.

They certainly don't take home any major awards. They certainly don't capture the praise critics. Those remakes might capture some audience members, but those films almost certainly don't capture the audience's hearts. Where you wouldn't be surprised if one of the large studios announced a remake of the Godfather or Citizen Kane. We live in an era where even Ghostbusters is no longer sacred. If you're even a casual moviegoer, chances are you have already heard the argument that originality is dead in Hollywood.
