S.and the first time it went very well for you, an Oscar and the song with the most views of your repertoire, try a second one. So Lady Gagaafter that titled melodrama colossus Shallowhas registered Hold my handthe theme song of Top Gun: Maverick. One of the record shifting movies of the pandemic era now in final release on May 25th after a visit to the Cannes Film Festival.
The choice of record the piece of the new Top Gun – in the official trailer not a single note – demonstrates the acumen of Gaga and her team. Only large-scale productions, of course, but above all productions that like A star is born they are also remembered for a symbolic song. Is that Take my breath away by Berlin – written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock – and he is: Oscar in 1987 and today 368 million plays on YouTube.
Therefore great challenge to reach or overcome one of the greatest hits of the 80s. But when did Gaga ever back down from a confrontation.
The guts to make his film debut with the fourth remake of a very worn story few had taken it into account. Yet, dodging all wishes to fail soundly, she eventually returned home and won it all. From arrival at the Lido of Venice sitting a on board motorboat to the duet with Bradley Cooper at the Oscars. For Top Gun: Maverick Lady Gaga just sings, but precisely the title Hold my hand (shake my hand) – and the Berlin theme song – make believe in a song with drama and tears and operatic power. Outclassing the classic romantic will be impossible, attempting another will not.
In conclusion, if not a song that makes you dreamwhat else do you hope to accompany Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) racing on a motorcycle on the track again with a woman holding on to him? An image that cannot be older and more worn, but this is the Hollywood of now: superheroes and remakeson the one hand the sweet inclusiveness of TAIL and on the other, the sequel to a film that today’s taste dubbed as a relic of “toxic masculinity”.
But woe to disagree with King Cruisethe screams against the workers of Mission Impossible 7 due to the risk of Covid infections they still bring shivers.

Top Gun: Maverickthe plot
Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Cruise), one of the best aviators in the Navy, returns after more than 30 on duty in the only place where he feels at home. It’s not an easy return given his fame, but he needs to train for a secret mission a special team of students from the academyand he remains the best.
Even in the dazzling smile and look: bomber and Aviator glasses. At the base he meets the lieutenant Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), nom de guerre “Rooster”, son of Nick Bradshaw “Goose”. His old friend and flight mate died from hitting his head against the canopy of the driver’s seat, due to the push of the ejection seat pressed too soon. He then also presents another ghost from the past: Icemanrival and then friend of Maverick played by Val Kilmer (which in his autobiography – I’m your Huckleberry – he said he had I asked the producers to include it).
The fact is that between an uncertain future and memories, this mission for Maverick it is anything but simple, also because at a certain point it becomes clear that it requires many sacrifices.
