Almost Famous https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dd/Almost_famous_poster1.jpg Dir: Cameron Crowe Genre: Drama Year: 2000 Ah, every millennial douchebag's favorite movie! Its insufferable fanbase aside, Almost Famous is a fantastic film. It is steeped in obvious metaphor: William is Cameron Crowe (who was actually a journalist for Rolling Stone in the 70s) and Stillwater is an amalgamation of just about every band from that era that skyrocketed to fame and then collapsed in self-destruction shortly after. I think the movie really resonates on an emotional level more because it's so apparent how personal the story is for Cameron Crowe. You get the feeling he knew someone like Kate Hudson's character and went through that same kind of heartbreak in his youth. But even if that story is too saccharine for you, Almost Famous is still very entertaining for the ridiculousness and idiosyncratic nature of Stillwater and other bands on the tour. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
