A rock fantasy for a teen music writer who comes to realize he's still an outsider
Almost Famous is about Rock n Roll dreams coming true. Teenage writer William Miller (Patrick Fugit) goes on tour across America with a band called Stillwater and gets to see and live the Rock lifestyle while attempting to achieve his other dream to get a cover story for Rolling Stone magazine.<br /><br />The story obviously centers around William’s adventure. That begins with his mother that told him at 11 to explore the world and find out what he wanted to do. His sister Anita (Zooey Deschanel) rebelled against their mom (Frances McDormand) by introducing him to Rock which was banned in the house. Listening to the forbidden fruit created a lifelong love of music. His writing career then takes off when he meets the editor of Creem Lester Bangs (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who offers him a job on one hand and on the other warns him about what will happen to him in the Rock N Roll industry. That leads him to meet the band Stillwater and then getting contacted by Rolling Stone and his trip begins.<br /><br />The movies captures all the stereotypes and fantasies people have about Rock in the 1970s. There’s the mundane of riding on a bus to a drug induced dive off a roof into a swimming pool.<br /><br />What’s totally unexpected is Frances McDormand almost stealing the show. She starts off telling William not to do drugs, but then she starts spitting philosophy at band members. In a close second Philip Seymour Hoffman who constantly tells William about the trials and tribulations of Rock and how it’s being corporatized and destroyed by big business and how art needs to survive.<br /><br />Fugit also does an excellent job. His character gets to tour with a band and become their friends but in the end he knows he’s still on the outside looking in.<br /><br />Almost Famous is a thoroughly enjoyable movie and a complete fantasy about Rock as shown by all the stereotypes coming true.<br />C
