It's a must-see movie for rock fans, a semi-autobiographical film by a veteran rock 'n' roll fan who chronicles how she became a ROCKER, and the first large-scale work by actress Kate Hudson (you must know her, she is the daughter of Goldie Horn and the heroine of the gossipy love affair that made actor Owen Wilson commit suicide).
The 15-year-old male protagonist william (who was the director of his youth) fell madly in love with rock and roll at an early age! He had many rock records, and the first thing he did every day when he got up was to turn the volume of the stereo to the crack of the sky and enter his own rock world, but William's mother did not think so, always thinking that william's favorite music was such a bad thing as a flood beast.
William not only loves rock, but also writes some rock reviews, his music reviews attracted the attention of the editors of music magazines, asked him to take an interview with the "Black Sabbath" concert, and by chance, William won the favor of the editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone magazine for writing an article on "Calm Waters", a new rock group that warmed up the big name bands, and asked him to write a story for "Calm Waters".
William travels around with "Calm Waters", becoming friends with the band's guitarist and lead singer, and in the end, the interview trip unexpectedly develops into the story of Penny (Kate Hudson), a girl fan of William's crush on the band.
The focus of the film is the journey of the band's tour, and on the way, William witnesses the rocker's obsession with music, the desire for fame, the confusion about himself, and his dependence on sex and drugs. Also witnessed the struggle and loss of the entire young age, hoping to be liberated from music.
This journey became a journey of his soul, he saw the world clearly and found himself. And for audiences who like rock and roll, the wonderful old rock music in the whole film will definitely make you listen to it very enjoyably.
I believe that audiences who love rock music as much as I do, and who have pinned their dreams on rock music, will feel this movie much stronger than others, especially when you hear the humming sound of the guitar wires coming from the speakers before the guitar wires are connected to the guitar in the concert scenes.
The music is definitely an important element of this movie, and what impressed me was that there was a scene where the band members finished their last performance and were getting on the bus to the next tour location, and everyone was thinking about what had happened a few days ago, when the song that sounded was Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" song that was half shot and then brought to everyone's face...
Everyone laughed and sang softly along with elton John's song...
