Serena Toros: 我认为很少有电影能真正拍出音乐的精髓,《几近成名》就做到了这一点。很多电影试图展现音乐行业的内幕,但往往缺乏研究或过于美化,而这部电影虽然怀旧,却并不浮华。《几近成名》是音乐新闻的基石,是每个音乐记者梦寐以求的生活。看到这么多人从小就看这部电影,并渴望成为一名音乐记者,这让我觉得很奇怪,因为我接触这部电影比较晚。 Scott Detrow: 这部电影让我对记者这个职业产生了向往,想亲身经历并记录下来。它让我感到快乐,因为它讲述了对某件事充满热情,并有机会亲身接触到自己热爱的事物。莱斯特·邦斯反复告诫主角要与采访对象保持距离,这非常真实。这部电影真实地展现了记者在获取信息和保持客观之间的内在矛盾,也是我看过的关于写作过程的最佳电影之一。我觉得除非你为之哭泣,否则你写不出好的故事。 Stephen Thompson: 《几近成名》非常真实地反映了身处一个你渴望但并不真正属于的世界的状态。这部电影深刻地理解了热爱无法回报你的事物的感受。作为48岁、有青少年的父母,我比28岁时更能体会到弗兰西斯·麦克多蒙德的表演。乐队Stillwater的音乐水平适中,非常符合电影的故事背景。
