Almost Famous
“Aw, man. You made friends with them. See, friendship is the booze they feed you. They want you to get drunk on feeling like you belong.”> “Well, it was fun.”> “Because they make you feel cool. And hey. I met you. You are not cool.”> “I know. Even when I thought I was, I knew I wasn't.”> “That's because we're uncool. And while women will always be a problem for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem. Good-looking people don't have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we're smarter.”> “I can really see that now.”> “Yeah, great art is about conflict and pain and guilt and longing and love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love... and let's face it, you got a big head start.”> “I'm glad you were home.”> “I'm always home. I'm uncool.”> “Me too!”> “The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.”I love this movie so much. It really dives deep into William, not only in his life, but his beliefs and his innocence. It shows how easily he is drawn into a world where he doesn’t belong. It shows the reality of the band and reveals to us just how bad their relationship actually is. It also shows us Penny’s innocence, and how she is easily manipulated by the band as well. By showing this, it tells us that there is only one person who truly cared about Penny, and that’s William. It is a truly amazing story of innocence being shattered, but also about how music can shape many people’s lives. Everyone is great in this but my clear standout is Kate Hudson. She makes Penny seem so carefree and perfectly depicts that aspect of her going away towards the end. Frances McDormand is also great as Williams overprotective mother who simply just wants the best for him, and acts as a force that pulls William from fully falling for the band. Philip Seymour Hoffman’s character Lester Bangs is so great. He is the perfect companion for William and he is always there to help William, because he is uncool.
This movie is so cool, and it’s real.
I AM A GOLDEN GODDDDDDDDD
