Locked in a time capsule
As many times as I have seen this movie at the theater, I can now watch it at home when I'm feeling like I want to go back in time.
I watched the original A Star Is Born with Judy Garland and James Mason as an 8 year old with my Mom, but of course didn't understand all of the nuances of their relationship and what was really happening. This version, with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson is the same story of 2 people trying to live their lives (sometimes in the fast lane) that showed the difference that 22 years later makes in the updated retelling.
The music is great (Barbra could really hit the lengthy notes then) and Kristofferson is rough enough around the edges to make you root for the couple to win out over the road blocks in their lives. If you're a Streisand fan, you should watch this at least 5 times, it's that good.
