sorry to make this a bit dark but when i think abt my sisters cat not knowing ive died, that's what stops me from killing myself. like nothing really goes well in my life i feel, so ive contemplated suicide way more than i should, but what always stops me is a) not knowing whatll happen to me, and b) thinking of never seeing my sisters cat bc i love her and i know she loves me. that sounds trivial lol, but the dog thing reminded me of that also sorry for bothering you a year later lol my b
rhiannon hookings the main writers where bradly Cooper and Gaga but for the country songs they also brought some of the absolute best country lyricists Jason Isbell (2 time America writing artist of the year) and Lukas Nelson (willie Nelson’s song who is huge in the alternative country scene) they are literally two of the best writers alive as of right now they did their research
The first song Jackson does on his concert is so good. I wish it was longer. You know? Like an 8 minute black sabbath song or sg. But it seems short to me. I love that song the style, the vocals, the riff👌
I can't help but feel like I've heard The deep end song a billion times in my childhood.. Like literally have heard it a billion times. My mom was a fan of old country music like that and I swear to god I've heard it before but nobody believes me lol.

I like the fact that this movie shows that love doesn't always rescue someone that's already too broken. It's not a "you rescued me from suicide" story. It's a very honest, real and true story, not sugarcoating anything and showing: Suicide happens even when love is around. You might love someone to bits but that won't be fixing them, suddenly. People blame themselves when they lose someone that way. But some people are so lonely inside, so lost and afraid, that you might have been a light for a few more moments and you might have eased the pain a bit - But you weren't the cure, neither were you the poison that did it. It's so extremely hard to describe and talk about. But always keep in mind that everyone is deciding alone. Doesn't matter which path it's gonna be in the end. Tough one. Sending love to everyone out there that really needs some.
I had thoughts about suicide last week, I didn't tell anyone. I was going to reach out to someone because I felt like I had to talk to someone about it but.. how? first, they wouldn't understand. second, it would crush them. third, it would crush them trying to understand. I really need to get it out so I'll just leave it out here I guess.

One thing he always does that I find hilarious is if there's a movie with a couple, it always reminds him of twilight. I bet he's subconsciously a twilight Stan lol.
I've noticed that too. Like, I find it amazing how whenever he does a movie commentary, no matter what he's always able to find something to relate back to twilight. I love it.

How I see it is they became such good friends, and she's a very smart woman I doubt she believed that he really thought that, so I think that made her all the more shocked. She must have known that was about her character and not her as a person, but no one but Bradley wanted Gaga to act in the film with him. It must have hurt a bit though, no thanks to how the media and paparazzi used to make fun of her
I couldn’t help but notice the red and blue throughout the performances (like you mentioned), went from happy to us not seeing those colors again until the cops showed up at the house
We see the red/blue thing through almost the whole movie and then... boom, he kills himself and then there's a lot of white lightning and I thought it was like a punch in the stomach
It hasn't been said so someone must. But all the scenes where Lady Gaga Sings, its real, she refused to record the songs and then dub them in. That's why the scenes feel so real and Bradley Coopers and Lady Gaga's voices blend so realistically. (obvs they recorded them for the soundtrack but the movies all real and makes u love Gaga so much more!!)
@711lila Yes, but most singers working on films will have their vocals recorded in-studio, and added to the scenes later during post-production. It's rare to hear someone's raw, unaltered singing voice in a film.
@@JuliaJiggs honestly the movie is really quiet or maybe my TV sucks lol but I had to watch it a second time because he mumbled like the whole movie when he spoke 😂
In the beginning, Ally wrote Shallow then Jackson help finish it for her. In the end, Jackson wrote I'll Never Love Again then Ally help finish it for him.
That last shot with her having a wet tear. Made me cry harder. It’s a call back to that shot of her crying at the wedding. When you cry, if the tear comes from one eye first it’s sad if it’s the other eye it’s happy tears. The wedding shot and the ending shot the tears came from opposite sides. Showing the happiness and sadness.
SPOILER: Notice how the lights where red and blue when they were performing together and he was alive, then when he killed himself the lights on gaga were only red. And in the last performance the light was pure white coming from up above, no harm but bradley defo shouldve got that nomination !!!
even more importantly, not just the lights on her were only red, but they did the red and blue thing for the LAST time with the lights from the ambulance. when he killed himself, he also killed the red and blue theme. that's so GENIUS, I love stuff like that so much. I agree absolutely, they REALLY snubbed him of that nomination, he did a fantastic job with all the symbolism, foreshadowing and continuity. that belt scene when he's about to kill himself alone is so outstanding. when I watched the movie in the cinema the whole crowd gasped when the belt was shown because everyone immediately KNEW.
@@MrArmedBurrito and on top of all that they really nailed the point home that depression and alcoholism are ongoing struggles and ILLNESSES that aren't easy to overcome and that need to be talked about more on a grander scale. they're advocating for mental health a lot with this movie and its promotions and as someone struggling with depression myself I'm really grateful for that.
Also if you didnt notice, the final scene of Ally looking into the camera is the first time she did the entire movie. She can't be seen looking directly at the camera at all through the movie, always off to the side or away from
TheNraveles Yes! It’s sort of like, she dyed her hair back to brown, is singing the type of music Jack always told her she was meant to sing. When she looks directly into that camera is when we realize (and maybe even Ally herself also) that a true Star is Born!
Oh boy... I actually have a minor problem in how Bradley and the cast keep on spreading this information, considering there IS another scene where she looks directly into the camera, and it's literally the scene where they first lock eyes with each other (at the bar when she's singing La Vie en Rose). 4:07
@@franks8462 she's actually not looking at the camera. If I remember correctly, both Gaga and Bradley said that they tried their hardest to have her, even if a BIT look off to the side or not directly centered on the camera. The ending is really the only time she looks DIRECTLY at the camera, but that scene is the closest to it
When I watched this on Netflix i used the preview thing at the bottom and peeked at the end to make sure nothing bad happened and I saw they were all happy together because of the memory montage so thought it was fine but they TRICKED ME. 😭
I watched this when it first came out, i.e. before Oscar hype, purely because I'm a Lady Gaga fan - and one of the things I unexpectedly enjoyed the most was the STUNNING direction, particularly the concert scenes. Its one of the film's major strengths. So I do think Bradley Cooper was unfairly snubbed for a directing Oscar.
I watched it in theaters too. Didn't know anything about it except she was in it. Thought it was going to be a cheesy love story- boy I was in for A RIDE
I mean...did you watch Roma? Sorry but when it comes to directing that movie deserved the best director oscar. Alfonso Cuarón is experienced and Bradley, while he did a great job, he's still new. Don't expect him to win an Oscar so soon especially when competing against Roma. That being said, he did deserve a nomination.
When you're attracted to someone, everything in them looks beautiful. My first compliment was from the guy I had a crush on. He told me that my ears were really pretty. I sat in front of the mirror for hours and just tipped my head from side to side, wondering if it was true. It didn't feel weird at all, just sweet and romantic. So, I totally get the line about the nose.
Great, now I'm crying again. I cry every time I watch this movie. UGH. Side note: the reason the audio is so perfectly synced up during the live shots is because Gaga demanded that they all be recorded live because she hates when she watches a musical and you can tell they are lip syncing. Also, the dog was actually Bradley Cooper's dog. Just a couple of fun facts. There are more, you'll love them, look them up.
They filmed at Coachella and Glastonbury festivals. "I just wanted to take another look at you" is a line used in all four of the Star is Born movies. The male lead in all four of the movies kills himself.
No I think he always did kill himself except the one with Barbra Streisand because she didn’t want that for the movie. Her husband also didn’t want it either I’ve heard somewhere.
I know I feel the same way....really sickening, isn't it? what the hell does it take? all the other directors had nothing on this movie...ugggghhh. Maybe they are making him pay his dues...anyway, it is just so wrong and so unfair. :(
The"I just want to take one more look at you" is a reocurring line in all the A Star is Born films. it's really sweet and meaningful each time it comes back at the end before "the sad scene".
They filmed the concert scenes in Coachella (Gaga was headlining) and Glastonbury (Kris Kristofferson was playing and he gave them like 5 minutes to shoot before his set, Kris was in the previous adaptation of A Star is Born with Barbra Streisand). Funny thing is they played the music without sound so a) they had clean audio and b) songs didn’t leak. For the Shallow scene and the final song they’re all Gaga fans invited as extras. And speaking of that last song, Gaga’s best friend passed away that very same day, she returned to set from the hospital and did the scene, it added a whole other layer of raw emotion. Glad you liked it!
And they had real audiences to make the concerts feel authentic. Also, how Jack and Ally met in the movie is basically how Gaga and Bradley met in real life, the whole "my nose is too big" scene actually happened to Gaga, Gaga's emotions during the final scene were genuine because she just lost one of her best friends, Sonya, Bradley was actually addicted to drugs and alcohol, Bradley worked for months to learn to sing and play the guitar and sound like Sam Elliot, AND Gaga's team was also Ally's team in the movie. Also, Ally's reaction to Jack calling her ugly was genuine; Gaga wasn't expecting that. 👏👏👏
it’s probably been said but every single song in the movie was recorded live rather than putting a soundtrack over visuals usually done in movies. props to bradley!!! and in the very beginning where lady gaga is walking away from work and the movie title appears, she was singing Judy Garland (she did the ‘50s version of the movie) and it was to pay homage to her.
I know that Bradley Cooper's tattoo sames silly but it's a reference to ww2 , soldiers used to draw that face on walls or on the ground for a remainder to stay positive or something like that, it's a known phrase "kilroy was here" it was adapted from another phrase used in in ww1 " foo was here" .
what if shallow was actually foreshadowing the ending. think about it. “i’m off the deep end. watch as i dive in. i’ll never meet the ground.” shes in the perspective of bradley and that he would go too hard and won’t be able to stop it.
No Floods is legit one of my favorite Gaga songs she's ever written. When I first heard the music of ASIB, and especially the message behind Shallow, I was reminded of No Floods. In a way, those two songs share a lot of the same DNA.
Before the final performance, Lady Gaga’s best friend had died. Gaga decided to perform and dedicate the song to her, so at the end, when Gaga sang. Those were real emotions.
@@RosiesTintedGlasses They didn't want it to be recorded and leaked, so they said only first 2 rows could hear the signing. Snippets of Heal Me actually were leaked. An extra also said they didn't want any sneaky drones picking it up.
i love how natural this movie feels though and that it's realistic in the sense that if someone is addicted to something or has their own personal demons love won't always save them... great reaction as always dylan!
It's not about him touching her nose. She had just told him that it was an insecurity and he THEN made it a point to tell her it was beautiful 🤦♀️ C'mon man, you're too cute to not get it.
What if some guy tells you your belly is really pretty but you're very insecure about it and then he starts stroking your belly.. Let alone having a drunken stranger caressing your nose. If you think that's normal; you are every predator's dream.
@@roddo1955 lol. Its a movie. She also got on a jet and performed with a complete stranger. In real life it wouldn't have gone down like that. Also, maybe think twice before describing someone as "a predators dream." Thats pretty fucked up my dude.
Chris McLain the truth is fucked up if that’s someone’s view on how things should be in real life then it’s just straight facts predators are gonna be after you if you think that shit is normal
@@roddo1955 No one ever said it was normal just saying the point of the subject and scene starting their relationship. Its not that deep and they didnt romaticize it lmao chill
Dylan, I’m not gonna lie, I think this is where you shine. As much as I LOVE watching you watch the teenie bopper movies, (that I grew up with) the reason I fell in love with your music video commentary was that you have such a good eye and POV when it comes to quality filmmaking. I love watching you love something. Would love to see more of this if you can/want to🙏🏾
I love the impact of the gaga close up at the wedding, and then again at the final scene. The tears, just opposite emotions. The one closer, the other slightly farther away. The wedding close up with light behind her, the final scene with darkness behind her... Really creates such an impact!
Best part in this reaction was at 1:57 when Dylan's face just changes so quickly when Gaga starting screaming, and he's like woah chill Gags. Classic dylan
They filmed the concert scenes at Stagecoach, Glastonbury, and Coachella. Also, all the singing scenes were preformed live. One of the many reasons this is my favorite movie of 2018.
Everyone kind of glazes over the award ceremony and that kills me. That is by far the most heartbreaking part of the movie. I have been her in that situation. Obviously not on national television, but at weddings, birthdays, parties. The love she has for him for holding and crying with him after he completely humiliated her is the most powerful kind of love. And it's leaves you absolutely gutted when the person you love is consumed by drugs and alcohol and becomes someone else.
Loving someone who humiliated you is not a a good thing. Him having depression does not absolve him of being an abuser. And I know this is not what you meant, but it sounds like you were idealising her love for him.
@@frenchgirl5878 The thing is tho, he didn't humiliate her intentionally. He wasn't capable of controlling himself at that point and I believe OP wanted to highlight the fact that instead of being mad and abandoning him because of embarrassment, she chose to stick by him and help him fight his battles with him as long as she was capable. And of course there's a line there that shouldn't be crossed and that people aren't obliged to stick by someone who's dragging them down. There are limits, definitely. And there are times when people go too far. But we can still acknowledge the fact that Ally's love for him was truly remarkable, selfless, and deserved praise. Especially because she wasn't just some doormat to him who'd adjust to his every wish. She didn't kiss the floor he walked on. She actually expressed her feelings and encouraged him to change and grow.
@frenchgirl5878 He was drunk. Why are you making this seem like he did it intentionally. She also forgave him, because he was sick and recovered (obviously not mentally)
Why didn’t it end with Ally finding out it was the managers fault.... then she punches him, and the closing scene her taping a bag of peas on her fist?! 👊🏻
I'm a guy- who doesn't really like romantic/musical films. But when i saw this film in cinemas, i completely fell in LOVE with this film, that Shallow song gives me goosebumps every damn time, this was my favourite film of 2018, it resonated with me emotionally so much, Bradley and Gaga are a power couple indeed!
This is by far the most beautiful version of this movie. And the fact that his death is a combination of mental illness struggles and a pure love being misunderstood thru that lens is far more touching than the other reasons for his death in the other versions
I woke up. I went on CZcams. I see Dylan watching 'A Star is Born'. I became happy. P.S I bought your friends book! It's amazing! I'm halfway through it!
Did you notice how he was telling her that she's not as talented as his dad and how she's embarrassing, but she didn't really say anything. But then he calls her ugly and she completely flips out (for good reason lol) and it pretty much goes back to her being so insecure about her nose and what people think of her. I feel like this is why she's so okay with changing her appearance and stuff. Idk just a thought lol.
I saw this at the theatres and bawled my eyes out. I was crying so hard I didn't think I'd be able to drive myself home. I vowed never to watch this movie again as it was so heartbreaking. Yet, here I am, watching your commentary and bawling like a baby.
I had to get myself together to drive home too. I immediately went to see it again the following week. It haunted me and I needed to see it. I still cry when I listen to the soundtrack and when I watch the movie (just bought it).
my exact thoughts. I watched the movie at the theaters and cried my heart out. My throat really hurt from holding back my tears . I literally cried an hour straight more or less. And so - here I am crying again
I watched the movie just so I could watch this video. I cried like a fucking baby. Also it’s crazy they hinted at him hanging himself at the very beginning of the movie!!! I barley noticed that.
The movie opens with Jack on stage and ends with Lady Gaga on stage. A star is born, but she lost who she loved.
why are there no comments? this is beautiful.
Wow❤️❤️
And now I am too afraid to see this masterpiece. It would break me, I haven't watched it yet but I'm crying already.
i love how he is Jack and she's still Lady Gaga
And he's a star in the sky.
Dylan: I want Jack to die.
Jack: *dies*
Dylan: *surprised pikachu*

When Bradley’s character calls Lady Gaga’s character ugly during the argument scene it was improvised so her reaction is genuine
Sophia Carina thats why it was so cringy lmao
@@knorenknor3493 cringey as in? I was so uncomfortable cuz she genuinely seemed hurt lmao
But her lines were improvised too. They were trying to catch that wtf reaction.
and what he meant by ugly was not about her appearance but by how she was acting because of what her manager turned her into
How I see it is they became such good friends, and she's a very smart woman I doubt she believed that he really thought that, so I think that made her all the more shocked. She must have known that was about her character and not her as a person, but no one but Bradley wanted Gaga to act in the film with him. It must have hurt a bit though, no thanks to how the media and paparazzi used to make fun of her
How to establish intimacy:
- Take off her eyebrows
- Touch her nose
-suck her finger
Don't forget that
You can cry, Dylan. It's okay
I really tried to. I was close to cry lol
I did
I couldn’t help but notice the red and blue throughout the performances (like you mentioned), went from happy to us not seeing those colors again until the cops showed up at the house
oh wow I didn't even notice that
shallow performance tho
We see the red/blue thing through almost the whole movie and then... boom, he kills himself and then there's a lot of white lightning and I thought it was like a punch in the stomach
Bruh, chills.
Holy shit
The dog growled when her manager showed up at their home. LISTEN TO THE DOG
The dog waiting outside tho 😭😭
And when he gave him the steak too :((
JustineYve - that’s what made me start to properly cry
That’s when I lost it
Bradley Cooper's actual dog 😭😭😭💕
JustineYve ikr!
“I’ll stay here, Okey Jennifer Lawrence”, omg I died 😂
Which part is that in the video??
Jolin To 21:27
I hope he sent her that part of the movie before it came out as an "in your honor" move hahahaha
It hasn't been said so someone must. But all the scenes where Lady Gaga Sings, its real, she refused to record the songs and then dub them in. That's why the scenes feel so real and Bradley Coopers and Lady Gaga's voices blend so realistically.
(obvs they recorded them for the soundtrack but the movies all real and makes u love Gaga so much more!!)
I mean yeah shes a singer
@711lila Yes, but most singers working on films will have their vocals recorded in-studio, and added to the scenes later during post-production.
It's rare to hear someone's raw, unaltered singing voice in a film.
@@JR-pf9in ohhh yeah thats so true!
“if bradley cooper wasnt an alcoholic he would have never discovered lady gaga”
i mean... hes not wrong
"It was you I idolized not dad."
I didn't hear that the first time!!!!!! I'm crying!!!!l lol
****I quoted it wrong but you get it lmao!****
that scene messed me up when i first saw it
muchamuchacha Every single time I see that scene I cry so much and idk why lol
How did you not hear one of the most iconic lines from the movie
@@JuliaJiggs to be fair I watched it for the first tume at the movie theater and his low voice made it hard to understand the first time. 😅
@@JuliaJiggs honestly the movie is really quiet or maybe my TV sucks lol but I had to watch it a second time because he mumbled like the whole movie when he spoke 😂
Most people: Lady Gaga
My theater loving self: ANTHONY RAMOS
Literally me when I watched this the first time: JOHN LAURENS!
I’ve been looking for this comment 😂😭
Luthien Tinuviel sameee
AHHHH IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A COMMENT ABOUT THIS
I’m glad I’m not the only one that was freaking out when I saw him😂
In the beginning, Ally wrote Shallow then Jackson help finish it for her.
In the end, Jackson wrote I'll Never Love Again then Ally help finish it for him.
Alex Tay fuck I never realized that..... that broke my heart
Exactly
yeah man... you can't just love someone out of depression...
Andrea Szidónia Szabó lmao when you put that in a sentence it sounds even dumber than the idea
Omnisis you clearly havent struggled with depression
: c I was agreeing with the original commenter 🤦🏿♀️
truth.
Ah...yes you can. It's just that you become very unloveable.
That last shot with her having a wet tear. Made me cry harder. It’s a call back to that shot of her crying at the wedding. When you cry, if the tear comes from one eye first it’s sad if it’s the other eye it’s happy tears. The wedding shot and the ending shot the tears came from opposite sides. Showing the happiness and sadness.
SPOILER:
Notice how the lights where red and blue when they were performing together and he was alive, then when he killed himself the lights on gaga were only red.
And in the last performance the light was pure white coming from up above, no harm but bradley defo shouldve got that nomination !!!
even more importantly, not just the lights on her were only red, but they did the red and blue thing for the LAST time with the lights from the ambulance. when he killed himself, he also killed the red and blue theme. that's so GENIUS, I love stuff like that so much.
I agree absolutely, they REALLY snubbed him of that nomination, he did a fantastic job with all the symbolism, foreshadowing and continuity. that belt scene when he's about to kill himself alone is so outstanding. when I watched the movie in the cinema the whole crowd gasped when the belt was shown because everyone immediately KNEW.
@@totally5694 oh YES!!!! I forgot about that bit, they really thought it out its such a good movie oml
@@MrArmedBurrito and on top of all that they really nailed the point home that depression and alcoholism are ongoing struggles and ILLNESSES that aren't easy to overcome and that need to be talked about more on a grander scale. they're advocating for mental health a lot with this movie and its promotions and as someone struggling with depression myself I'm really grateful for that.
@@totally5694 yes totally! Great movie all round ❤
I agree and I loved too how she starts writing the first song and he finished it and he starts the last song and she finished it. It's a full circle .
Also if you didnt notice, the final scene of Ally looking into the camera is the first time she did the entire movie. She can't be seen looking directly at the camera at all through the movie, always off to the side or away from
TheNraveles Yes! It’s sort of like, she dyed her hair back to brown, is singing the type of music Jack always told her she was meant to sing. When she looks directly into that camera is when we realize (and maybe even Ally herself also) that a true Star is Born!
Oh boy... I actually have a minor problem in how Bradley and the cast keep on spreading this information, considering there IS another scene where she looks directly into the camera, and it's literally the scene where they first lock eyes with each other (at the bar when she's singing La Vie en Rose). 4:07
@@franks8462 she's actually not looking at the camera. If I remember correctly, both Gaga and Bradley said that they tried their hardest to have her, even if a BIT look off to the side or not directly centered on the camera. The ending is really the only time she looks DIRECTLY at the camera, but that scene is the closest to it
@@franks8462 in that scene she's not looking "at" the camera, she's looking "through" the camera, so that gives the idea that Ally is looking at Jack.
She looks at the camera in the bar scene
When I watched this on Netflix i used the preview thing at the bottom and peeked at the end to make sure nothing bad happened and I saw they were all happy together because of the memory montage so thought it was fine but they TRICKED ME. 😭
it was a MISDIRECT
They did you dirty.
ME TOO!! it looked like they were all happy together at the end but then I watched it and literally sobbed😭
Who tf does that...literally ruins the whole point of watching a movie
@@jashshah1033 lots of people like to be warned of heavy and dark themes beforehand
dylan predicts the whole movie for 30 mins straight. it is a blessing and a curse.
Gaga is good but she's also quite kitchy. Makes her predictable about her art.
I watched this when it first came out, i.e. before Oscar hype, purely because I'm a Lady Gaga fan - and one of the things I unexpectedly enjoyed the most was the STUNNING direction, particularly the concert scenes. Its one of the film's major strengths. So I do think Bradley Cooper was unfairly snubbed for a directing Oscar.
What did ya think of the Oscar perf? He directed that too. Ugh his mind.
I watched it in theaters too. Didn't know anything about it except she was in it. Thought it was going to be a cheesy love story- boy I was in for A RIDE
100% agree, how did Bradley not win ??? I was appalled!
I mean...did you watch Roma? Sorry but when it comes to directing that movie deserved the best director oscar. Alfonso Cuarón is experienced and Bradley, while he did a great job, he's still new. Don't expect him to win an Oscar so soon especially when competing against Roma. That being said, he did deserve a nomination.
Dylan: I can never watch this movie again, its too sad.
Me: SAME!!!
@M e same this is the first time I’ve watched it since it came out 😭 I can’t handle the sadness
I cried. At a REVIEW! And I haven't even SEEN THE MOVIE!
You're not alone .. 😢😭💔💔
I also cried watching him review lala land 😂
Same I’m a fucking pussy
Same
Same
"you just met her and your already Takeing off her eyebrows"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I laughed way too hard at that
"your" and "takeing" ? right...
Yeah me too ahahhah🤣🤣
When you're attracted to someone, everything in them looks beautiful. My first compliment was from the guy I had a crush on. He told me that my ears were really pretty. I sat in front of the mirror for hours and just tipped my head from side to side, wondering if it was true. It didn't feel weird at all, just sweet and romantic. So, I totally get the line about the nose.
Wow that is such a great compliment :)
So cute!!!
Great, now I'm crying again. I cry every time I watch this movie. UGH. Side note: the reason the audio is so perfectly synced up during the live shots is because Gaga demanded that they all be recorded live because she hates when she watches a musical and you can tell they are lip syncing. Also, the dog was actually Bradley Cooper's dog. Just a couple of fun facts. There are more, you'll love them, look them up.
They filmed at Coachella and Glastonbury festivals.
"I just wanted to take another look at you" is a line used in all four of the Star is Born movies.
The male lead in all four of the movies kills himself.
No I think he always did kill himself except the one with Barbra Streisand because she didn’t want that for the movie. Her husband also didn’t want it either I’ve heard somewhere.
The cut scene where Bradley’s singing the last song I remember fully sobbing in the theatre along with three of my friends.
Me too
I cried so much
Me: I'm not gonna watch this movie I don't really care
Dylan:
Me:
Dylan:
Me: ok
Same! I'm gonna have to watch it now
I feel the same way. Except I’m not wasting more of my time lol I’m not a fan of gagas mediocre acting
@@bbictorr I honestly agree, I don't think I can bring myself to watch her act
same here, i was like can't believe i'll have to watch this movie again and is not even that good only overrated
Victarion K how exactly is her acting mediocre?
The fact that Bradley wasn't nominated for best director is an actual disgrace
I know I feel the same way....really sickening, isn't it? what the hell does it take? all the other directors had nothing on this movie...ugggghhh. Maybe they are making him pay his dues...anyway, it is just so wrong and so unfair. :(
The"I just want to take one more look at you" is a reocurring line in all the A Star is Born films. it's really sweet and meaningful each time it comes back at the end before "the sad scene".
Damn I didn’t even realise how much the nooses on the outside of the club were foreshadowing the movies ending 😟
There can be 100 person doing reaction videos. 99 are trash , all it takes is *one youtuber* to give you good content. that was Dylan.
Honey K that was good
I see what you did here. Well done.
"dude, you just met her and now you're taking off her eyebrow" lmfao
I usually wait till the the third date to let a guy take off my eyebrows. They moved so quickly.
In every movie commentary, Dylan always says at some point, “I could literally direct this movie” 😂
Dylan gets 1 thing right...
Dylan: I wrote the script!!!
They filmed the concert scenes in Coachella (Gaga was headlining) and Glastonbury (Kris Kristofferson was playing and he gave them like 5 minutes to shoot before his set, Kris was in the previous adaptation of A Star is Born with Barbra Streisand). Funny thing is they played the music without sound so a) they had clean audio and b) songs didn’t leak. For the Shallow scene and the final song they’re all Gaga fans invited as extras. And speaking of that last song, Gaga’s best friend passed away that very same day, she returned to set from the hospital and did the scene, it added a whole other layer of raw emotion. Glad you liked it!
Wow. I didn’t know none of that. Thanks for the information
And they had real audiences to make the concerts feel authentic.
Also, how Jack and Ally met in the movie is basically how Gaga and Bradley met in real life, the whole "my nose is too big" scene actually happened to Gaga, Gaga's emotions during the final scene were genuine because she just lost one of her best friends, Sonya, Bradley was actually addicted to drugs and alcohol, Bradley worked for months to learn to sing and play the guitar and sound like Sam Elliot, AND Gaga's team was also Ally's team in the movie. Also, Ally's reaction to Jack calling her ugly was genuine; Gaga wasn't expecting that. 👏👏👏
it’s probably been said but every single song in the movie was recorded live rather than putting a soundtrack over visuals usually done in movies. props to bradley!!! and in the very beginning where lady gaga is walking away from work and the movie title appears, she was singing Judy Garland (she did the ‘50s version of the movie) and it was to pay homage to her.
Cool
I know that Bradley Cooper's tattoo sames silly but it's a reference to ww2 , soldiers used to draw that face on walls or on the ground for a remainder to stay positive or something like that, it's a known phrase "kilroy was here" it was adapted from another phrase used in in ww1 " foo was here" .
That’s so interesting! Learnt smth new today!
what if shallow was actually foreshadowing the ending. think about it. “i’m off the deep end. watch as i dive in. i’ll never meet the ground.” shes in the perspective of bradley and that he would go too hard and won’t be able to stop it.
"Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us"
Brb gonna cry my eyeballs out
FUN FACT: Red And Blue (the color combination that Matthew has mentioned) is the name of, technicaly, Lady Gaga's first album.
I'm so happy someone else noticed that lmao. The Stefani Germanotta band lmao
And it was great
No Floods is legit one of my favorite Gaga songs she's ever written. When I first heard the music of ASIB, and especially the message behind Shallow, I was reminded of No Floods. In a way, those two songs share a lot of the same DNA.
YAAASSS!!! NO FLOOOOD❤
late night dylan is broke bc of the movie prices plus tax
Dylan: “I’m the director I want Bradley cooper to die. I want him to overdose”
Me: 👀👀👀👀👀👀
I choked when he said that
I’m so mad at Dylan because he talked the suicide into existence;-;

it’s soooo good you should def watch it!! ❤️
Same here too
Same but now I kinda regret it since the film seems amazing.
You should experience it for yourself - it’s amazing
we not gonna talk about how bradley directed, made himself the main character, then made himself kill himself... D:
Before the final performance, Lady Gaga’s best friend had died. Gaga decided to perform and dedicate the song to her, so at the end, when Gaga sang. Those were real emotions.
They actually fimed a few of the performances at Coachella the year Gaga performed.
Lust For Life the last concert was done at forum here in LA. It was her Joanne concert
And Glastonbury (UK festival) I was in the audience at the time, it was between two of the acts.
@@RosiesTintedGlasses it looks like Glastonbury at 12:30. I recognize all the flags
@@TyDaWaVe yep it is, so familiar, shame it wasn't played through the speakers though, would have loved to have heard him sing. I was too far back
@@RosiesTintedGlasses They didn't want it to be recorded and leaked, so they said only first 2 rows could hear the signing. Snippets of Heal Me actually were leaked. An extra also said they didn't want any sneaky drones picking it up.
bradley actually sang every song live, so kudos to him for that
He did amazing! They both did!
i love how natural this movie feels though and that it's realistic in the sense that if someone is addicted to something or has their own personal demons love won't always save them... great reaction as always dylan!
Your movie commentary series should be called “Watch Dylan Predict Entire Plot Line.”
Doesn’t roll off the tongue, but it’s fitting.
It's not about him touching her nose. She had just told him that it was an insecurity and he THEN made it a point to tell her it was beautiful 🤦♀️
C'mon man, you're too cute to not get it.
What if some guy tells you your belly is really pretty but you're very insecure about it and then he starts stroking your belly.. Let alone having a drunken stranger caressing your nose. If you think that's normal; you are every predator's dream.
@@roddo1955 lol. Its a movie. She also got on a jet and performed with a complete stranger. In real life it wouldn't have gone down like that. Also, maybe think twice before describing someone as "a predators dream." Thats pretty fucked up my dude.
Bruh he did get it. He was just joking about it being his fetish lmao
Chris McLain the truth is fucked up if that’s someone’s view on how things should be in real life then it’s just straight facts predators are gonna be after you if you think that shit is normal
@@roddo1955 No one ever said it was normal just saying the point of the subject and scene starting their relationship. Its not that deep and they didnt romaticize it lmao chill
Dylan, I’m not gonna lie, I think this is where you shine. As much as I LOVE watching you watch the teenie bopper movies, (that I grew up with) the reason I fell in love with your
music video commentary was that you have such a good eye and POV when it comes to quality filmmaking. I love watching you love something. Would love to see more of this if you can/want to🙏🏾
Same,I love when he does these.You can really see his knowledge of this.
AGREE. Thanks for saying this
YOU'RE FEEDING US SO WELL I'M SUSPICIOUS
Ikr
I love the impact of the gaga close up at the wedding, and then again at the final scene. The tears, just opposite emotions. The one closer, the other slightly farther away. The wedding close up with light behind her, the final scene with darkness behind her... Really creates such an impact!
Best part in this reaction was at 1:57 when Dylan's face just changes so quickly when Gaga starting screaming, and he's like woah chill Gags. Classic dylan
And then he just goes 🤷🏼 “yeah.” ☠️☠️☠️
Your knowledge of details is pretty impressive!
"Is that supposed to be lady gaga's nose"
Oh my gosh 😂😂
Aw this film hit me so hard because i went in knowing absolutely nothing about it
Same!
They filmed the concert scenes at Stagecoach, Glastonbury, and Coachella. Also, all the singing scenes were preformed live. One of the many reasons this is my favorite movie of 2018.
Everyone kind of glazes over the award ceremony and that kills me. That is by far the most heartbreaking part of the movie. I have been her in that situation. Obviously not on national television, but at weddings, birthdays, parties. The love she has for him for holding and crying with him after he completely humiliated her is the most powerful kind of love. And it's leaves you absolutely gutted when the person you love is consumed by drugs and alcohol and becomes someone else.
Loving someone who humiliated you is not a a good thing. Him having depression does not absolve him of being an abuser. And I know this is not what you meant, but it sounds like you were idealising her love for him.
@@frenchgirl5878 The thing is tho, he didn't humiliate her intentionally. He wasn't capable of controlling himself at that point and I believe OP wanted to highlight the fact that instead of being mad and abandoning him because of embarrassment, she chose to stick by him and help him fight his battles with him as long as she was capable. And of course there's a line there that shouldn't be crossed and that people aren't obliged to stick by someone who's dragging them down. There are limits, definitely. And there are times when people go too far. But we can still acknowledge the fact that Ally's love for him was truly remarkable, selfless, and deserved praise. Especially because she wasn't just some doormat to him who'd adjust to his every wish. She didn't kiss the floor he walked on. She actually expressed her feelings and encouraged him to change and grow.
@frenchgirl5878 He was drunk. Why are you making this seem like he did it intentionally. She also forgave him, because he was sick and recovered (obviously not mentally)
"Is that supposed to be lady gagas nose" LMAO DYLAN 😂😂😂
Why didn’t it end with Ally finding out it was the managers fault.... then she punches him, and the closing scene her taping a bag of peas on her fist?! 👊🏻
Emma Baldwin aaawww I would have loved that
No one Knows Its The Managers Fault Though
Emcy Osias I know.. Just wishful thinking.
wait why was it the managers fault. haven't seen it... don't mind spoilers
@@gabriellabaggio1999 the manager told Bradley's character that Ally would be better off without him
i'm insecure about my nose bc i'm often mocked for it so the whole recurring thing about her nose is super romantic to me.
Honestly 🥲
Me too, I felt that
you know i had a thing when i was little
dylan: *”for noses?”*
i shouldn’t laugh as much as i did but
I'm a guy- who doesn't really like romantic/musical films. But when i saw this film in cinemas, i completely fell in LOVE with this film, that Shallow song gives me goosebumps every damn time, this was my favourite film of 2018, it resonated with me emotionally so much, Bradley and Gaga are a power couple indeed!
Interesting
I'll never love again made me love it tbh
dylan: please die
*pulls out pills*
dylan: NO
the tour songs were actually live, they sang live while recording it, amazing.
Your rant about Ally's friend and your reaction at 16:50 is the funniest thing I've seen so far this year
It was a shame that Anthony Ramos wasn't used more in the movie, he's a fantastic singer himself
I know I cracked up
Agreed. I had to pause the video, I was laughing so hard.
Fun fact : lady Gaga wanted all the performances to be done live , and that’s why all the performances looks like it’s done live
Literally a person hanging
"Oh my God no look at the dog" Honestly me though
Fun fact- that’s actually bradley cooper’s real dog!
This is by far the most beautiful version of this movie. And the fact that his death is a combination of mental illness struggles and a pure love being misunderstood thru that lens is far more touching than the other reasons for his death in the other versions
“How did I make this video weird in 15 seconds”
*literally at **0:15*
I’m impressed damn
I woke up.
I went on CZcams.
I see Dylan watching 'A Star is Born'.
I became happy.
P.S I bought your friends book! It's amazing! I'm halfway through it!

@@nabeeha3174 it's called Dark of the West By Joanna Hathaway
Sameeee
That last scene broke me, when it cuts to Bradley singing 😔😢
Did you notice how he was telling her that she's not as talented as his dad and how she's embarrassing, but she didn't really say anything. But then he calls her ugly and she completely flips out (for good reason lol) and it pretty much goes back to her being so insecure about her nose and what people think of her. I feel like this is why she's so okay with changing her appearance and stuff. Idk just a thought lol.
The "ugly" part was unscripted so that was Lady Gaga's genuine reaction lol
She does say something. She says why don’t you go take some more pills and have another drink. And we can drink till we fucking disappear.
I saw this at the theatres and bawled my eyes out. I was crying so hard I didn't think I'd be able to drive myself home. I vowed never to watch this movie again as it was so heartbreaking. Yet, here I am, watching your commentary and bawling like a baby.
I had to get myself together to drive home too. I immediately went to see it again the following week. It haunted me and I needed to see it. I still cry when I listen to the soundtrack and when I watch the movie (just bought it).
Yeah I don't think I will ever watch it again. This was almost too much
my exact thoughts. I watched the movie at the theaters and cried my heart out. My throat really hurt from holding back my tears . I literally cried an hour straight more or less. And so - here I am crying again
Wow
"I will always remember us this way" is the most underrated song. Prove me wrong!
This is a year late but YES YES YES YES
How is he predicting all these movies so well???
Cause movies are very predictable.
idk why ppl do that to themselves and ruin the film idgi
kirch it’s his job though
I watched the movie just so I could watch this video.
I cried like a fucking baby.
Also it’s crazy they hinted at him hanging himself at the very beginning of the movie!!! I barley noticed that.
