I remember seeing the poster of "Almost Famous" for the first time. Even though it had the aura of "Oscar Original Screenplay", it didn't appeal to me at all. I even thought it was a movie about how Kate Hudson got away from fame. Just one step away from the chick movie. I don't know if it would have turned out differently if I hadn't seen another poster for Nearly Famous, maybe like the third end of the hero in A Song of Opportunity (one day I was didn't see "Almost Famous" and got on a certain doomed plane). That "another poster" is also of Kate Hudson, but unlike the more common one, which only has a face of her with sunglasses on, this one shows Hudson sitting on a bed with a distance in the distance. a guitar. It was this guitar that gave me the urge to watch this movie.
After reading it, I realized that the person in the poster did not appear until more than 20 minutes. A single-parent American family that existed in the 1960s and 1970s and lacked a father was the real protagonist. At the beginning of the film, the mother leads Millet shopping. Through the details of the accusation against "Xmas", she immediately outlines an image of a conservative mother who brings up her two children alone, but hinders the children due to excessive discipline. Perhaps because of the development of their personalities, my sister is so rebellious. Rock music has become her "weapon". When she and her mother turned away from home, she left this "weapon" to the young and ignorant. Brother, "look under your bed, it will free you," she said. The music played in the family farewell scene was "America". The beautiful longing and yearning for freedom filled the whole picture. My sister got into the car of her young boyfriend and drove into the distance.
Then there's Millet, who spends four years with the big bag of records and becomes a little-known music critic, implying that his mother didn't forbid Miller from rock and roll as she did with her sister. Finally, Miller met "the first rock music critic" Lester, who gave Miller a lot of advice, and indirectly "facilitated" Miller's encounter with the "Still Water" band. It was also at that concert that we met for the first time that Hudson finally appeared. Her character was called Penny Lane (this is also a song by "The Beatles"), and she called herself "Band-aids". , instead of the crazy "Groupie", she managed to attract the "Still Water" guitarist to invite her to meet, joined Miller on the "Still Water" tour team, embarked on a journey to conquer the United States.
During the journey, Miller gradually saw the decadence and indulgence of rock music as an outsider. All the listeners could hear were the songs that were finally released, but the stories behind these songs were invisible to most fans. Like many fans, Miller ended up being drawn to rock by pure songs, but as Lester said, "If rock wasn't vulgar, then it wasn't really rock." But when rock even his "vulgarity" fades away, wrapped in a pompous and empty shell, and inevitably becomes a commodity, full of fakes, what's the difference between that and a bag of rubbish with a price tag on it . So when there is a conflict in the band, everyone on the bus sings the paragraph of "Tiny Dancer" will make people move, everyone enjoys the singing, there is no sorrow and no fighting, music may not make the world a better place, but it There must be a magic power that unites people's hearts. "I have to go home", "This is home", Miller found that all the people in front of him had returned home at this moment, even though everyone was arguing the day before, even if there would be more conflicts later, But at this moment no one can resist its softness.
The scene of Penny being abandoned was also well interpreted by Hudson. The new agent said "I'm sorry the plane isn't spacious enough" and then bluntly discarded Penny in place, as if he were treating a worn-out household item. There is no emotion at all, even if this woman dedicates her years to the band. Penny Lane represents a type of person, she can be anyone, anyone who comes back without asking for anything and always maintains the original motivation, anyone who uses her life to keep the things she loves going, so her name doesn't matter, In reality, she may end up bleak, but in the movie she can live in Morocco, which is the best blessing. Thinking of it this way, it would be perfect to use Penny Lane wearing sunglasses as a poster.
"Almost Famous" captures a whole era of people's confusion about life and yearning for freedom, their enthusiasm for their dreams and their coldness toward their old friends. The storm on the plane serves as a flashpoint for the whole film, allowing all contradictions to unfold, and the repentant venting wave after wave, and even the drummer who was silent for two hours even broke the most powerful material in the whole film. Life in danger can also be seen as a rebirth, where everyone has made some changes or tried to make some changes. It ended well and the band got back on the bus and the 73 on the bus became 74.
