People might assume almost famous is about rock n roll and all that in between but it really isn't.
It's about relationships, friendships.
What I like about the movie the most is the charcters, ever single one have gotten the perfect amount of attention to understand them, kate hudson's character is pretty interesting, the depth that we didn't expect she is charming and lovable that we understand how a 15 years old boy can fall in love with her.
In the other hand, I think the movie was too long, maybe because I didn't expect that he will actually be touring with them the whole time ? Idk. And the whole attention to william I found it a pit unbelievable, how could he become so popular within them and he didn't actually has anything different. although that scene with hoffman's character about how they are uncool could explain it a little but I didn't think it applies enough "if that make sense".

Anyone who was there will notice that this film captures almost perfectly what it was like when the music appeared. I was on stage with Led Zeppelin, Johnny Winter, etc. I could never convey the excitement and love of this era's music but this film absolutely did. Thank you Cameron for taking the time and effort to portray this PERFECT time of life. We were special, gifted, enlightened to be able to experience these events.The music clips were absolutely capturing the element of life as a teen in 1973. God Bless everyone who was involved with this film, I have never seen anything like this that took me back to when I was this young. I feel so forlorn that life is so different now given the musical options we have and rarely listen to anything now. Sigh. High recommend for those who were there, for those who wanted to be there, and for those who have no clue what it was like then. I feel so sorry for anyone who missed this era. Thank GOD I was!

So this movie has sort of a cool story but I think it is missing something like there are lot of characters that for me shouldn't be there or their presence doesn't really affects the movie. Like the mom.. I mean, yea, she sorta gives the movie "something" but I mean her role could've been played by someone else that wasn't that... freak. I didn't see her character very useful and I can't find the relationship about that the sister and the mother stopped talking to each other and the boys life. I mean the movie is all about this boy and the other people are just part of it in many ways but not all of them as important as I'd like them to be. It has a weird sense of humour and some kind of "really? bro?" scenes that makes the movie a bit hard to process. Like everything is so easy and hard at the same time and it's a bit hard to go with it.

I don't think any movie has ever impacted me or been as close to my heart as this one. Everything about it is magical, and it's an experience in itself. It seems cheesy to say such cliché things as "you feel like you're a part of the story" but to not say such things would be an injustice to a movie that draws in its audience as participatory cast members. The music adds a special quality to the film that only the special genre it inhabits could posses. True rock fans will appreciate each song choice, and yearn to have experienced the back roads of 70s rock and roll. There are many things to be said about this film but mainly I think this is just an incredibly special movie with numerous touching scenes that I can watch over and over and always enjoy
