"Almost Famous"


Today, the teacher asks us to talk about any theme, and that it’s so very difficult because there are a lot of topics that we can talk about, so thinking a lot, I decided to talk about my favorite movie, and it is “Almost Famous” (there are more, like “Great Expectation”, “Before Sunset”/”Before Sunrise”, “Virgin Suicides”, “Being John Malkovich” and “High Fidelity”, but talk about everyone it’s so difficult, and it would be ending like a biiiig text)
“Almost Famous” is a movie directed by Cameron Crowe, and it’s based on one of his life experience.
The story is about a boy who loves rock music and likes to write. Because of that “Rolling Stone” magazine calls him to make an article about a rock band call “Stillwater”, which is on his peak. He accepts the challenge, besides his mother’s opinion and his age –he is only a boy, so he lies to “Rolling Stone” magazine to make the article.
William (that’s boy’s name) goes with Stillwater ’73 tour and travel with them around U.S.A. The band received him very well and were very excited with his presence, because they are the typical band which is successful, but started to going down because the money and the excessive fame… they were “living the dream”.
I love this movie because the soundtrack, the characters and the story, because it’s very simple but achieves to touch you in a special way. The first time I saw it, I dreamed to have an experience that William has, but obviously I understand now that it’s impossible.
I think the movie it’s very important in my life because I felt identified with William, because he loves the same bands as me, like Led Zeppelin, The Who, Rolling Stones and all that appear in the movie, and also because I had my sister influence in that taste of music, like him too. Finally, the movie was like a door to know more bands of that type and almost fall in love with them.
Really, It’s a very good movie I recommended to everyone when they ask me “could you recommend me a movie, please?... so don’t lose it if you don’t have seen it!!

Here is the trailer, if you want to see it
