Without the assistance of high technology, it is not a big production. Why can movies get excellent response? On the one hand, Crowe's films since he entered the business have won excellent reputation, such as Single Apartment and Lover. His films often impress the audience with simple storylines rather than violent scenes. On the other hand, Almost Famous, as a rock movie, contains all popular cultural elements that interest young people: rock, drugs, sex, girls, generation gap, love and so on. , plus humorous dialogue, in one word: cool.
In fact, the plot of the movie is not complicated. /kloc-When he was 0/5 years old, William Jr. was ordered by Rolling Stone magazine to interview a rising rock star "Still Water" in Ran Ran, and accompanied the band on a tour in the United States. The film tells the story of William Jr. from being interviewed by a magazine to the end of his tour. His mother objected to his contact with rock music, and his sister secretly "instigated" him to listen to rock music. Before his interview, the famous music critic Lester? The class advised him not to make friends with rock stars, and his mother advised him not to be involved in drugs. As a result, he not only made friends with the band, but also fell in love with the bone feeling and skin appearance of the band's lead singer, which seems to be a rock version of Growing Pains.

The bright line of Almost Famous tells the story of an inexperienced boy and a rock band, but Crowe actually laid a dark line, that is, the phenomenon of skin and bones. As early as in the movie "Single Apartment", Crowe played down this phenomenon. In Almost Famous, Bai Gujing's skin is obviously an indispensable part of the theme, but Crowe did not give a positive or negative answer to Bai Gujing's skin.
What is bone skin? In fact, this is what people in Taiwan Province Province call it (but it is very vivid). Its English name is groupie. This social phenomenon appeared in the 1960s when rock music was prevalent and groupies were prevalent. It refers to female fans who try to have sex (or keep romantic relationship) with rock stars. Some people even use the word "star bastard" instead of groupies. When rock music flourished in Beijing in the 1980s, a number of skinny groups also appeared. However, they are not called skinny in Beijing rock circle, but borrowed a Spring Festival word from an old Beijing artist: "Guo 'er" or "Jianguo 'er" (this word sometimes describes those beautiful girls). What's the difference between bones and skins and ordinary fans? It's simple. Ordinary fans are satisfied as long as they can see the singer they admire, take a photo, sign their names and show off with their peers. However, skinny is not. Besides idolization, they have to have sex with stars, which means "take him away" in our Beijing dialect.

Skinny phenomenon is a cultural phenomenon in the west, or it has become an integral part of rock music. Three words are always associated with westerners: sex, drugs and rock, and every rocker has a skinny story that can't be explained clearly. The relationship between rock and sex, to a great extent, refers to the relationship between musicians and skinny skin.
Why do bones and skins choose rock stars?
Birth control pills and rock music are both a disaster. Literally, rock and jazz mean sexual intercourse in slang. The rebellious tool of rock music often uses "sex" because it can directly face the moral level. Why did Elvis twist his ass? Why the "Rolling Stones" band is labeled as "collective insanity, wantonly inciting fornication with musical anesthetics" is the best excuse for defenders to attack rock music, but it also encourages the arrogance of rock music in pan-sexualism.
The popularity of rock music coincided with the sexual liberation at that time. For girls who were crazy about music at that time, it was not enough to get a star's signature, but to be closer to the star, so bone skin appeared.
The characteristics of rock music itself also determine that it will become the focus in the bones, such as the electric guitar in the hands of rock musicians. This instrument is simply an amazing invention. In the eyes of many bones and skin, its shape is not only a symbol of male reproductive worship, but also very similar to female body. When a rock musician stands on the stage and puts the guitar in front of him, one hand keeps plucking the strings and the other hand slides up and down on the handle. For girls, the resulting associations and hints can be imagined, which is why girls always like rock guitarists. Almost every well-known bone skin will mention this when interviewed by reporters.

There was a special phenomenon in the 1960s, that is, rock guitar masters came forth in large numbers, Jimmy? Hendricks and Eric? Clapton and Jimmy? Peggy and Jeff? Baker, Pete? Townsend and Carlos? Santana car ... the phenomenon that guitarists come forth in large numbers has never appeared again, which is related to the prosperity of the skin at that time. Moreover, rock bands have long and boring tours every year, and musicians rarely take their girlfriends or wives on tours, because the company of bones and skins on the way can make boring performances interesting. Therefore, some bones and skins often accompany them as "band assistants", such as Penny, the girl William fell in love with in Almost Famous. Ryan, she firmly denies that she is a skinny, just a band assistant.

The 1960s was the honeymoon period between rock stars and skinny people, Ann?

Castel also confirmed this in an interview with Sharon magazine. She thinks that the definition of bones and skin in the dictionary is "stigma".

In the 1960s, two skinny people proved their unusual relationship with rock stars with facts. One is Mick from the Rolling Stones. Jagger's girlfriend (almost the whole band's girlfriend) Marianne? Feisford, a skinny woman of 18 years old, went to the music scene with the help of the band and became a star. Jagger wrote the famous When Tears Run Out for her. The other is German model Nico, a famous pop artist Andy? Warhol introduced her to the American band The Velvet Underground, and she also embarked on the road of rock and roll. Until Richard? The book Life and Lies of an Idol written by Weitz was published, and people were surprised to find that Nico had an affair with so many famous rock stars.
But it didn't last long. The appearance of heavy metals in the 1970s changed the taste of more prosperous bones and skin. Led zeppelin has made great achievements in music, but they are simply steps to hell (the band has a famous song "Steps to Heaven"). Almost all the band members are perverts, Jimmy? Jimmy Page was sexually abused, and drummer John? Bonesme often makes girls undress and jump into the bathtub with octopus for fun. In the 1980s, all kinds of novelty in bone sense and skin appearance almost became the "reserved program" of later heavy metal bands. Band poison simply installed a condom machine on the tour bus, "Dave? "Def Lephard" band will hold "Sin Capital" and "Miscellaneous? Motley Crewe's sexual dysfunction can be described as "countless" ... In 200 1 year, a film "Rock Star" reflecting the life of a metal band in the mid-1980s was staged in the United States, from which we could get a glimpse. After 90, skinny characters simply turned into porn stars and prostitutes.

Kissinger said: "Power is the best aphrodisiac." Rock stars often have an illusory power in their minds. When they shout on stage, they will be welcomed by the audience. The aura of fame often makes them get carried away, worship, rebel, strong and inspirational. These things stimulate the adrenaline of rock stars all the time, making them think of themselves as a stallion without exception when they face skin and bones.
The obsession with music and art is just a noble excuse for those girls to satisfy their vanity. In return, rock stars occasionally make these bones and skins appear on record covers or music videos. Fisher or Nico are just individual phenomena in many bones and skin. The phenomenon of bone and skin in the early years is one of the components of rock music, which makes Cameron? Crowe is obsessed with this. The skinny skin over half a year old also wrote a book, recalling that happy time, indicating that there were still things worth remembering in that chaotic age. So the phenomenon of skin and bones now, to put it bluntly, is human flesh trading.
How much love can be fucked around, and how many people are worth having sex, which is the eternal theme of sex and rock and roll.
