Almost Famous

If you ever fascinated by the life of rock n roll era during 70s.Than this movie is a must for you.It is about a 15 year old boy who got his first assignment from Rolling Stone to write a article about a new upcoming band and their tour.

Almost Famous take you to the trip of music industry .The Gold Gods of rock era and their myths,love ,affairs,drugs and sadism ,this movie give you a chance to observe it throughly.

How a new band is struggling to cope up where a guitarist is about to become the Great and band struggle to throw itself out from the shadow of greatness.And our 15-year hard hitting journalist who is with them on the tour.

The film is based on Cameron Crowe’s(director) experiences touring with rock bands The Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. In a Rolling Stone article, he talks about how he lost his virginity, fell in love, and met his heroes, experiences that are shared by William, the main character in the film.

The only true currency in this bankrupt world… is what you share with someone else when you’re uncool.”

A advice to young fan and music journalist,” You CANNOT make friends with the rock stars. That’s what’s important. If you’re a rock journalist – first, you will never get paid much. But you will get free records from the record company. And they’ll buy you drinks, you’ll meet girls, they’ll try to fly you places for free, offer you drugs… I know. It sounds great. But they are not your friends. These are people who want you to write sanctimonious stories about the genius of the rock stars, and they will ruin rock and roll and strangle everything we love about it.

So go for it if you love rock n roll and want to see a drama full of music.And the soundtracks range from Eltan jhon ,David Bowie,Lou Reed,Led Zapp.

Miss it at your own risk :)
