漫漫成名路

From Wiki: This controversial documentary follows five roommates trying to make it in Hollywood who face the unexpected consequences of fame. Tony Zierra, an aspiring filmmaker with no money, stars or crew, resorts to filming the lives of his four struggling actor roommates. Three of the actors, Brad Rowe (Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss, Shelter), Chad Lindberg (October Sky, The Fast And The Furious) and Wes Bentley (American Beauty, Ghost Rider) quickly hit it big, while the fourth actor, Greg Fawcett , is nearly driven insane watching the others get famous.


　　It doesn't take long for the unsettling reality of stardom to set in. Lindberg's hope of becoming a leading man is crushed when he’s repeatedly told he doesn’t have the right look; Rowe ends up typecast as a pretty boy and can't break past his uncanny resemblance to Brad Pitt; while Bentley, who has the most explosive career launch in decades, uneasily retreats from his sudden, overwhelming fame. As the actors struggle with life in the public eye, Zierra deals with constant obstacles while he tries to complete his film - including being scrutinized and blocked by the actors' nervous agents. Each of the subjects is tested and changed by their encounters with the film industry.


　　The documentary ends with a follow-up Zierra filmed in 2008 when he returns to Hollywood after a five year absence to find out what happened to each of his former roommates.

Fucking sad. 梦想单纯的富二代Greg，一夜成名的Brad，嫌弃长相而去整容然后向爸爸说对不起的Chad，《美国丽人》后因压力染上毒瘾又努力戒断的Wes，躲在摄像机后的Tony。你看五个人一起追梦时多开心，后来却各自在深海般安静的酒店房间里伤感。人生就是一出戏。
