Lady Gaga's latest film became an instant hit over the weekend, helping push theaters to an October ticket-selling record.
A Star Is Born, actor-turned-director Bradley Coop-er’s remake of a Hollywood classic in the late 1930s, went beyond the previous expectations of movie analysts by roughly 30 percent.
The original production is such a great Hollywood myth that it's no wonder Hollywood keeps telling it. Whatever the era, the directors or the headliners, it tells the story of two lovers on dramatically different paths of famous man who’s racing to the bottom and a woman who’s soaring to the top.
Mr Cooper does a lot right in this movie A Star Is Born, beginning with the casting of Lady Gagn, whose re-laxing, naturalistic performance is the key to the movie's force.
A post-Madonna pop artist was known for her elab-orate(精心制作的) makeup and costumes, which she adopted no more here.
This unmasking of Lady Gaga makes her character seem genuine or say natural,a quality that the movie is in favor of and that serves as a kind of everlasting first prin-ciple.
22. What does the author think of the new movie
A. Boring. B. Recommendable.
C. Ridiculous. D. Amusing.
23. The underlined word“soaring”in the third paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. rising B. singing
C. running D. shouting
24. What can we learn about the movie
A. The remakes of the movie adopt different plots.
B. The movie tells the story of two friends on differ-ent paths.
C. Natural performance is considered as the only prin-ciple in this movie.
D. The movie is more impressive than what movie an-alysts expected.
25. What is the best title for the passage
A. A Hollywood Movie-A Star Is Born
B. Lady Gaga Is on the Edge of Potential Oscar Glory
C. A Latest Film of Lady Gaga Won the Oscar Award
D. The Box Office of Bradley Cooper's New Movie
