If I may, the word "content" derives it into ingredients. Immeasurable value within it teaches and touches the soul. Content is a word of analytical cold observation. A word used by countless ministers, and housewives of Washington Censorship. It brings out the human in us, and appreciates and embraces the complexity of musics touch to the heart. Its more than the sum of its whole. Content is in a candy bar, this is nutrition for the soul. I love this film too.

And this movie touched my heart. In so many ways.

As a 63 year old kid who loves this movie deep down... It was a nostalgic time wedged between being a hippie and being a disco dancer. My imaginary friends at 14 (1974) were Donny Osmond and Michael Jackson 😃. Patrick Fugit made this movie for me and deserves more credit for the job he did. I've followed his career to this day. Check out the Vampire movie he did. Low budget but pretty good. Wristcutters ☝. He's played next to impressive list of Mega stars for sure. Not sure what happened to Cameron Crowe. Lost the magic when he lost Nancy Wilson. I heard this story is on stage now. Love this movie

"There's hope for you yet Russell".. When watching this scene and the ending it gives you the feel there is hope for all of them. Penny didn't want to hear from Russell and she felt that William deserved an apology even more than she did which arguably is true. William had his love of music given to him by his sisters records and lived out his dream of following a band he likes and writing about them in the hopes he could become a rock writer. The immaturity of the band nearly cost him this, especially in Russell who is the bands leader. But this scene is the atonement for the lie. Through his apology, maybe, at least you hope in the future of these characters that maybe he and William can have a friendship, and maybe even he can at least salvage a friendship with Penny. You definitely hope William and Penny would remain growing friends and perhaps more. But the most important thing about this scene is that you can always make the right choice. There is never a wrong time to do the right thing. Loved how they pulled it off. Definitely one of the most underrated movies.
