group EXViDiNT released the DVDRip of Almost Famous (Won Oscar. Another
47 wins & 78 nominations), a bigraphy drama music movie starring
Billy Crudup, Frances McDormand and Kate Hudson, directed by Cameron
Crowe.
Plot: Writer and director Cameron Crowe’s
experiences as a teenage rock journalist — he was a regular contributor
to Rolling Stone while still in high school — inspired this
coming-of-age story about a 15-year-old boy hitting the road with an
up-and-coming rock band in the early 1970s. Elaine Miller (Frances
McDormand) is a bright, loving, but strict single parent whose distrust
of rock music and fears about drug use have helped to drive a wedge
between herself and her two children, Anita (Zooey Deschanel) and
William (Patrick Fugit). Anita rebels by dropping out of school and
becoming a stewardess, but William makes something of his love of rock
& roll by writing album reviews for a local underground newspaper.
William’s work attracts the attention of Lester Bangs (Philip Seymour
Hoffman), editor of renegade rock magazine Creem, who takes William
under his wing and gives him his first professional writing assignment —
covering a Black Sabbath concert. While William is unable to score an
interview with the headliners, the opening act, Stillwater, are more
than happy to chat with a reporter, even if he’s still too young to
drive, and William’s piece on the group in Creem gains him a new admirer
in Ben Fong-Torres (Terry Chen), an editor at Rolling Stone. Torres
offers William an assignment for a 3,000-word cover story on Stillwater,
and over the objections of his mother (whose parting words are “Don’t
use drugs!”), and after some stern advice from Bangs (who says under no
circumstances should he become friends with a band he’s covering),
Williams joins Stillwater on tour, where he becomes friendly with
guitarist Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup) and singer Jeff Bebe (Jason
Lee). William also becomes enamored of Penny Lane (Kate Hudson), a
groupie traveling with the band who is no older than William, but is
deeply involved with Russell. Lester Bangs and Ben Fong-Torres,
incidentally, were real-life rock writers Crowe worked with closely
during his days as a journalist. Almost Famous’ original score was
composed by Nancy Wilson of Heart (who is also Crowe’s wife).
