Almost Famous is talking about a gifted boy-William, who wants to be a music magazine reporter and journeys with the band-Still Water. William is beloved by the rock and see the inside of the corrupt in this journey. The journey brings everyone back to reality from dreams.

In this movie, my favorite character is William's sister-Anita. She doesn't get along with her mother, she can't accept her mother's tyranny. Her mother always tell them "rock and roll" is a bad music. Anita likes the band is call "Simon & Garfunkel", but her mother says they just drug addicts. Finally, Anita leaves. Before she leaves, she plays Simon & Garfunkel's "America" to her mother and says this song will explain the reason why does she want to leave. Anita says goodbye with William and tells him that she leaves some records in her room. After that William goes to her room and finds a note "use a candle when you listening the music, then you will be able to see your own future.


Anita loves her family, but she can't accept her mother's tyranny. So she leaves, but she still thinking about his brother. She leaves a note to tell William does something he wants. At the end, they meets at airport. Anita leaves her job and goes with William to everywhere he wants.

Teacher's note: A very clear character portrait, well organized with few GPS errors. Well done, my friend.

I want to talk about Penny Lane. She has a very good personality. She has many friends and everyone around her likes her. She follows famous rock bands with her friends but she doesn't want to be treated like all the other girls. She truly loves the band and the music. I liker her because she acts very free in her life. She does what she likes and try to have fun every time.

Like William said at the end of the movie, Penny was not just a girl follows a rock band. She was a true Stillwater's biggest fan, but Russell did not understand until Penny left her. She told all of her friends not to fall in love with the rockers, but at the end she fells love with Russell. Penny even try to commit suicide. I think this represents many woman's life. Woman can be very strong following their dreams, but when it comes to love we are very emotional and sensative. Penny was very lovely and strond woman. When she fell in love, she was very emotional and could have given up everything.

Teacher's note: This could be a great essay if it were better organized, particularly at the start (see below). Your thoughts tend to be profound. Big thanks for posting. --mike http://www.MoviesGrowEnglish.com


Rewrite:

I like Penny Lane because she acts very free in her life, and she has a good personality . She has many friends . . .

Never start with "I want to talk about. . ." Totally boring.

The most interesting character for me is William. From childhood he had a hard time. He grew up without a father. His mother, supporter of conservative views, and as a mother only wants the best for their children. In the era of hippies, free love and rock heyday, she tries every way to protect them from the pernicious in this life, but the more she tries, the less it turns out. Her eldest daughter, Anita, tired of exaggerated feelings of maternal care, leaving the home. Finally she leaves his collection of records to his younger brother William. Had an impact on his future. He no longer wants to be the youngest lawyer in America, William wants to be a music critic. Growing up, he gradually began to write articles for an underground newspaper. One day he meets a good but not very well-known critic of Leicester. He likes thinking and style of the younger critics, and he decides to help him. Article William noticed people from the magazine

[Allensu]

In the 70 s, when the drugs, sex, rock music with the liberation, a love rock of 15 year old young William, regardless of the family's against served as the "disc rolling stone" reporter, follow a new rise when red band "Stillwater" national tour.
I wanna talk about William , He is I've seen children inside the most brave , he belive dreams can come ture . For dreams to brave forward, no matter what difficulties stop him . also he is good relationship ,and over-come it , i think it should be realy in the daily life , when the people who making the mistake you must give him a chance to change ,and than you will know the person is easy to change the wrong or not . You know friends is most important thing when you growing , maybe that can change your life . However William Is a passionate junior ,he was learning lot of things for life about Penny and Stillwater. He saw his friend crazy about drugs and sex , He witnessed to rock and roll music of grasping , when they lost themself . Wiiliam still stand by the rock family .
Thanks for read

I think this movie is very attractive growth movie.

In this movie my favorite character is William.

William is a very precocious boy.

He quickly went to school for one year and skipped two years younger than another students age.

Nevertheless, he tends to have a premature.

What makes him so is his strict mother, Elaine.

She thinks it's a waste of school education.

Then her son,William's hobbies is listening rock and roll music and writing music reviews.

From around He has the opportunity to interview the best in rock magazines Rollingston

and accompanied by a band called Stillwater to write their articles.

And then Go travel by called Almost Famous Tour 73 and fall in love with Lane

and growth gone and also see the artist a serious look.

I think Williams has a sloppy style and looks cute.

However he pointed out mistakes with a sharpness that is fascinating character.

Teacher's note: Pretty good job, my friend. This narrative has a strong visual effect, which means that as I read, I can see William. Let's work on GPS. Thanks. --mike- www.MoviesGrowEnglish.com.

I want to talk about Penny Lane. When I first saw this girl, I think I am interested in this girl. She is beautiful. Penny in the UK, Is the most expensive coins. Everyone has penny, but it is unimportant.

When this movie start, I think William is the protagonist. In the end, I am sure, Penny Lane is the protagonist.

Penny Lane is a perfect girl. She like rock and roll, so she between a lot of rock and roll stars. When the band quarrel, she did not speak anything, just smiling. What is her profession? She said she like music, she love Russell. Is it love? Maybe use of each other.

This movie is very hard to understand. When I born, just have pop music, no one like rock and roll. This just my opinion.

Teacher's note: I gave this essay a little extra credit for insight. I think you got Penny on target. She never descended into the craziness, until the end when it was personal. Luckily, she had a guardian angel. Watch the basic grammar. Thanks. --mike www.MoviesGrowEnglish.com

That everyone yearn for the sunshine in San Diego, in the full of romantic, persistent and dream of rock and roll the innocent. What is hidden behind in those characters, is the simple and complex crisscross, ruthless and affectionate in there, there was such a story. The end of the movie is ordinary, but this ordinary
is not bored, a helpless for that little comfort. As the era of rock music, set in vision and the pursuit of the world behind that the little confusion. Why the hopeful band always be "Almost Famous".
The girl who was called groupie is my favorite character. I think Penny Lane is a perfect woman, but she is also the most difficult in the film the role of analysis. Maybe Penny Lane this role is a symbol, as the Beatles song from the name. She knows that she loves rock and roll in her mind, then walk on many between a rock star. The real music is flowing out from the heart of the melody , the only way music can move people.Penny with a moment keep beautiful guitarist, and an age and experience of contradiction young weaving such a movie But for most people, she's just the star of one of admirers. Penny likes Russel very mysterious, she will not quarrel in a band when express their own opinions, just in a mysterious smile to everyone. Penny sincerely like music.When she alone on the stage, take a rose, to the music, the dance trippingly, the scene is very beautiful.
The movie gives us full of artistic conception of the lens and the plot, this is a Impressive movie,I really enjoyed it,thanks.

Teacher's note: I'm guessing you liked this one better than Tropic Thunder. I think you have the potential of being a great author in English once you work out the GPS. There are so many profound thoughts here. Take care, and thanks for posting. --mike www.MoviesGrowEnglish.com
