Almost Famous 成名在望 (2000)
Almost Famous is a 2000 comedy-drama film written and directed by Cameron Crowe. It tells a fictional story of a teenage journalist writing for Creem and Rolling Stone magazines while covering the rock band Stillwater, and his efforts to get his first cover story published. The film is semi-autobiographical, as Crowe himself was a teenage writer for Rolling Stone.
Despite receiving good reviews, the film was not a box-office success. It received four Oscar nominations, one of which led to an award to Crowe for his screenplay. It was also awarded the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media. Roger Ebert hailed it as the best movie of the year.
The film is based on Crowe's experiences touring with rock bands The Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, 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.
十五歲的男主角文筆意外被賞識，受滾石雜誌邀請隨團採訪，雖然與靜水合唱團員及追星少女的個性南轅北轍，形同兩個世界的人，但男主角幸運被包容於其中，得以如同跟班似的隨團巡迴表演，在其中跟團員及追星少女發展出了友誼，亦目賭了團員間彼此的爭執，秉持著記者誠實的信念，他必須捨棄讓他一圓夢想的團員間的情感，大膽的把他所見樂團的墮落與紛爭披露出來。
我原先預期這會是隨著電影時間流動情感昇華而益發打動人心的電影，但很可惜的是並沒有打動我心，其問題可能出在各個角色間並沒有完全敞開心房，當然這本是編導卡麥隆克洛親身經歷的故事，所以若不是年代久遠他已忘記當時的感受就是他根本不層深入樂團核心，不然他今日大概也不會變成一名編劇兼導演，嗯..我的意思是他找到了更適合他的工作....所有觀眾想藉由影片一窺的秘密，倒頭來卻只是男主角有個家教甚嚴的家庭，而樂團之所以會成為樂團因為他們非常非常喜愛音樂，至於家教甚嚴對於成長有何辛酸血淚，或是為何執著於對音樂的熱情種種，這些都只能靠觀眾對於影片身歷其境般的重現而自行揣摩體會了。
每當男主角變身為記者的身份時，我總是有所期待能多認識這些叱吒一時的搖滾樂手，也許一切都是命中注定說不出個所以然來，但團員一再用藉口逃避採訪問題如何能填補觀眾求知若渴的欲望，縱使飛機失事生死交關之時我們所看到的竟然也只有眾團員開始背叛，而結局的意外重逢終於讓人徹底失望，採訪的結果以"紛擾的靜水"一語帶過，我看不出稿件的價值所在，除非你能接受八卦小報的新聞那另當別論....我承認這是一個難忘的經驗，但並不至於到達心靈成長的境界，因為一切的事情發生都僅僅能看見他的表面而已。
男主角本身是個相當內殮的人，可能這是真實反映人生，但他那種問三句答一句的態度，讓人難以明白他的真實感受，而他竟然能夠在樂團中受歡迎，其實是找不出什麼道理的，只是給人一種美夢成真的感覺，電影中所須給人的一種麻痺知覺，資深樂評也是這麼告誡他，不要被這群樂團給迷昏了要保持冷靜，但追根究底他到底是如何融入這個樂團的呢?我想電影中並找不到合理的答案。
