I report in a draft commentary on the wonderful film "Almost Famous" (which I contributed the piece above).

Almost Famous (Cameron Crowe)
Comment
"It is not what is there, but what is left out: this' rock and roll." As a short solo that strikes deep, this sentence reminds us of the value of the best rock music: go straight at that point "may not return." But in full consistency, the sentence is cut off from the film version of the film ..
Based on the experience really happened to the future director Cameron Crowe, a young rock journalist in 1973, is a reconstruction of a historical era in which rock music was still synonymous with innocence and passion. For the first time in a movie about this music stereotypes of "sex & drugs" are put into the background, emphasizing instead a deep sense of mystery and self-discovery related to rock music (the iconic opening scene in which the sister leaves the young protagonist his collection of vinyl, with a note that says "listen to this disc a lighted candle and you will see your future "). The film is very well the idea that rock music - in that period of history, of course - there is an ideal voltage capable of expressing the many turmoils of the mind, especially among young people.
Significantly, the scene where the eldest daughter, during yet another confrontation with her mother, used to listen to a song by Simon & Garfunkel to communicate his feelings.
is also enhanced a sense of friendship that binds the fans, be they journalists, musicians and girls in love: the scene on the bus after the fight between the singer and guitarist of the group, in which all unite to sing a great song by Elton John, illuminates the film with the evidence of a possible abandonment to which everyone aspires positive that resists the toughest situations, each one leaves aside their own point of view, assuming that friendship allows you to say yes life, however it occurs. Being on tour, however, ends up becoming a "reality" that replaces the reality of real life (when Penny tells William, who wants to go home: "This is your home now"). A utopia destined to collapse once all the limits (jealousy, betrayal, love, rivalry, etc.) of people come to the surface, and therefore the film is also a beautiful account of the journey from innocence of adolescence that leads to confrontation with the reality of adulthood (the emblematic phrase that Penny turns to the protagonist: "You're too good for rock and roll"). How
feature of nearly all the films of Cameron Crowe, however, the film has a happy ending, noting that despite everything you can preserve the most important thing, namely the friendship (between the guitarist Russell and the young protagonist).
