The significant moment in the film is, in my opinion, a combination of several scenes starting with the t-shirt mess up and ending with a group sing-along. The excitement the band had over their new t-shirts quickly vanishes and is replaced by bitter resentment when they realize that Russell is the center of attention once again. As William witnesses this verbal altercation, he begins to see the underlying hatred surrounding the seemingly enviable life of Stillwater. He then accompanies Russell on a night of partying where William must take on the role of the mature adult just to keep Russell safe from himself. In the scene following Russell's drunken escapades with the common folk, you can practically taste the tension on the tour bus. Then, one by one, they join Elton John in the singing of "Tiny Dancer". All of the animosity swirling around them seems to miraculously disappear and everyone is reminded of the reason why they're there; music. These events play a significant role in William's development from inexperienced, green boy to a more mature, realistic young man. As he becomes exposed to sex, drugs, and alcohol, William's eyes are opened to the ups and downs of the lives of the famous and he learns that things are not always as fabulous as they seem.
What kind of audience does this film appeal to the most?
