I'm honestly having a difficult time finding a way to relate this movie to life or an actual road trip. Yes there is an on the road scene, and yes there are plenty of iconic little moments (walking away from the bus onto bigger and better things for example) but it all just seems so outlandish. This movie almost seems as more of a glimpse into the lives of rockstars then anything else. Yes William "comes of age" along the way, but does he really? He is portrayed as a young brilliant loner the whole time, which would lead me to believe he was already "of age" because of his natural demeaner.
William suffers through his first glimpse at "love" and survives even though it is more terrible than most people's first glimpse ever was. I just can't find a way that this seems to really relate to a real person's life. It could be an extremely exageratted version of real life, sort of, except only exceptional people lead lives like William's, and most of us are not exceptional.
