the first paragraph: the encounter between the little boy William, the rock band Stillwater, and the fruit Penny Lane at the door of the performance venue; The opposition between the little boy's mother and his sister is established. These are all established to establish the perspective of the little boy William. Therefore, an "outsider" William who can only listen and not talk is established for the whole film. William is mixed in the mother's "tradition" , "Freedom" with my sister, the middle of the two world views, but has a neutral and straightforward visual angle to the content of this film. And when William met Stillwater and Penny Lane off the set, it established the story line in the second half of the movie;
little boy William: the little boy's mother is a college professor and expects her child to become a lawyer; mother's values and lawyers In this role, mothers have the ideological and cognitive framework of "traditional" society. The little boy's sister is an individual who listens to rock music, sleeps with her little boyfriend when she is underage, and breaks away from her mother's restrictions as soon as she turns 18. It represents an individual who represents the cognitive framework of "freedom". The mother's "education", "lawyer's future", "two phone calls a day" in the little boy's life, and sister's "rock record", "adolescence" and other influences allow the mother's values to bring the little boy a neutral perspective, while the sister's music brings The pursuit of freedom for little boys. The identity of a 15-year-old minor allows the little boy to be simple and direct, not to comment on his likes and dislikes, and to be the closest to the film's almost.
Rock band Stillwater: This band has a "only one hit record" label since its inception, but the truth is that this band is a group of people who came out of the country with girlfriends and children in the country. Ordinary people of "Rock Singers". They have a sense of superiority in playing rock and roll cool, and at the same time enjoy the aura brought by rock and roll identity, the sex it brings, and a self-confessed path of "freedom of existence".
Guoer Penny Lane: "im tired" hangs from the beginning, is a music fan but not crazy, but only 18 years old; and before and after the movie, he always appears in the event of rock and roll, and is expressed at the same time, "They" are the most important part of rock music. They stimulate musicians and provide inspiration for rock music. They are the most loyal supporters of rock music and the most rock and roll.
When these three types of people appeared outside the rehearsal factory at the same time, it was like an "initial", which gave the story a reason to tell the story.
The second paragraph: William, Stillwater, and Penny Lane are sitting in the bus, walking on the road of the tour, sunset and dusk, Stillwater and Penny Lane are singing and laughing together, the little boy William is watching quietly, girls, music, dreams , freedom, but they seem to tacitly close their mouths and don’t talk about those troubles and sorrows that they can’t talk about. Everyone seems to be deliberately downplaying some things, downplaying their worries, and then putting everyone on this road. In his bus, goals and dreams are written on the front of the car, and then he talks about rock music that he can't even explain himself. When this scene came up, the word "prosperity" came to my mind, and rock and roll is the paradise, the paradise for the gang. In the life of this group of people, in reality, there are many seemingly trivial things that do not need to be said, but they always carry some troubles and sorrows in their hearts. These worries may be powerless, and the way everyone chooses, through the way of "rock", has created a paradise for themselves without worry. Let's talk about music, sex, drugs, all the ways to create a simple and exciting way to build a paradise. At this time, the dusk bus is their paradise, and so is rock music.
The third paragraph: Everyone on the plane, the same tacit understanding. But when the plane was about to crash, when all the laughter and worry might end in the next instant, everyone began to express their hearts, saying what they wanted to say most in their suppressed hearts, and their truest selves. And at this dying moment, everyone started to be almost famous.
Fourth paragraph: At the house of the little boy William, the guitarist goes to the little boy. At this time, the whole film can let me see a sentence "face yourself".
This film is as long as 2 hours and 40 minutes, but after watching it, I still have no idea. When watching it, I was led by the little boy's point of view, and then looked at every living person in it without saying a word. These people not only appear in movies or rock, but also appear in every corner of our lives. These people have their own teenagers, adolescence, present, and future old age. These people have trivialities in life and dreams. And each of these people needs a piece of "happy land", so that the troubled heart can have a moment of peace. After thinking about it for a while, playing mahjong may be a paradise. Every Mayou is a rock singer in his own world.
Finally, let's talk about the Chinese translation of this film "Almost Famous", the English name "Almost Famous", almost, almost, almost, a feeling that seems to have achieved something, but is not sure whether it has been achieved, with a hint of epiphany ; And famous does not necessarily mean fame, perhaps with a search for the true self. The result of almost famous seems to be finding the true self, a little bit of meaning close to the true heart.
