Today, the movie I want to recommend to you is called "Almost famous" in English, which translates into Chinese as "Almost Famous". However, whether it is the "almost" in English or the "near" of Chinese, there seems to be a feeling that it is not coming, not being realized or achieved.

This feeling, it is estimated that at the end of the year, it will be particularly gripping for everyone, especially those who are preparing for the year-end summary. Because of life, why not just the goal and dream of "fame"? There is also "achievement", as well as personal life, emotions and ideals, and so on, which are all things that we expect to achieve in our hearts.
And when these, in the process of realization, are always a little bit, a minute can be achieved, but in the end can not be realized, it will be particularly sighing. It's as if the distance between you and success is 100 steps, and you see that you are almost the last step, but you just stop and stop.
For example, the person you like, chased for a long time, almost caught up, but still a little worse, the feelings paid did not respond, you say sad or not sad?
The work done, worked hard for a long time, almost 100% completed the performance, but still a little worse, the hard work paid did not gain, you say depressed is not depressed?
It is a difficult exam, prepared for a long time, almost passed the 60 points to pass the standard, but still a little worse, the efforts made have no results, you say regret is not regret.
A lot of plans and ideas, even practical actions, are liquidated at the end of the year, as if many of them are about to ok but eventually do not achieve OK within a certain limit.
So you might think, the movie recommended today, "Near Fame", is also a story that is close to success but failure, right? It's also about regret and unrealization, right?
No, it's not like that, this movie is more like the experience of a teenager. William, a 15-year-old who loves rock and roll, despite the objections of his conservative mother, works as a reporter for Rolling Stone Magazine and takes the opportunity to interview the popular rock band "Stillwater" to tour with the band.
Through the relationship with penny, a veteran rock fan, and Russell, the soul guitarist of the orchestra, he witnessed the obsession of rock musicians with music, and also saw their desire for fame, their madness about sex and drugs, and it can be said that through the band, he saw the struggle and loss of the entire young generation.
In the process, he saw the world clearly and found himself. It should be said that this movie, in the world of rock and roll, is also talking about growth, and teenagers feel youth and passion, life and ideals on this rock road.
The name of the movie actually always reminds me of the phrase "almost there", which seems to be almost famous, but it will never reach the peak of popularity. All the way to rock, the mighty forward, it is a bit of a road movie feeling, although there is no big fierce conflict, but also played for nearly 3 hours. There are 52 rock songs in the movie, which is an extreme treat for the ears.
After watching the movie, I still have no end to it, and the most profound feeling is the following three points.
One is about the little male protagonist and senior rock fan Penny, whose final choice made me realize that "persistence" is not necessarily good, depending on whether the value of persistence is worth it.
One is about the name of the band itself: Stillwater, Still water runs deep.
There is also the last one about the overall feeling of this movie, as a netizen on Douban said, "You have to watch it repeatedly to know that this movie is about your life..."
That is--the darkness and loneliness I have walked through, the betrayal and helplessness I have suffered, but I still can't penetrate this demon, I have only learned to live spontaneously, you and I are all in this vast sea of people, small and inconspicuous grass, but who said that small people can not be heroes, you and I are just in this vast sea of people, do not know the sky is thick of the grass, so don't worry about happiness.
