Almost Famous - [Coming of Age, Comedy, Drama, Music]
Set in 1973, it chronicles the funny and often poignant coming of age of 15-year-old William, an unabashed music fan who is inspired by the seminal bands of the time. When his love of music lands him an assignment from Rolling Stone magazine to interview the up-and-coming band Stillwater -- fronted ...
Good movie, but it's been a while since I saw it last. Cameron Crowe's teenager experience made into film. Probably a lot of half truths with a bunch of real stuff mixed in. The Stillwater band is totally the Allman Brothers Band and most of that pairs up.
Saw this for the first time a few months ago at a movie night I do with friends every so often. It was a fun watch! I'd recommend to music lovers and people who appreciate angsty coming-of-age stories.
Filmed in San Diego; in Ocean Beach and the Sports Arena
I miss living in an age where something like this could be produced. There’s no way this movie would work now. Disney (Marvel and Star Wars) has pretty much fucked things up pretty badly now.
I don’t think we’ll ever go back to being able to see this type of film being made.
FYI: The movie didn't make a profit in theaters worldwide. So it most likely became a movie type to not make.
I don't know why Marvel movies always get shit on.
Isn't it the audience's fault? We're not watching enough indie stuff in theatres or just wanna pirate movies or stream on Netflix instead right?
The Marvel garbage made it safe and easy for the film industry to make bank. No one wants to take risks on original stories now. It’s too easy to just recycle the same plot and characters and cash big checks now.
So that’s why they get shit on. They raised the lowest common denominator in film to become the status quo. Poorly written nonsense with bright flashy explosions.
