Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

RE: It was described as a terrific, "best" depiction of a time. It's nothing

The film was autobiographical, based upon Cameron Crowe's early life. He started out as a rock journalist. Heck, he married a rock star. I would argue that Cameron Crowe did not make a film to depict those times. Rather, I think his film was about a young kid who had certain dreams of what it was like to be a writer covering your heroes, and then finding that not only was being a writer not the dream he thought it would be, but also that his heroes were not the heroes he thought they were.

A similar film could have been made about an athlete, student, etc. The story is about loosing the mind of innocence that kids have, and seeing that innocence in their eyes evaporate when they enter the real world. The music is icing on the cake.

Hollywood often churns out happy, melodramatic endings, and these are the films that Victor lambastes. AF does not have a happy ending. It has a depressing ending, that most adults know all too well.
