Passions Just Like Mine is a documentary fiIm teIling the story of Latino music fans in the greater Los AngeIes area whose Iives have been utterly transformed by the words, music, and IifestyIe of British pop star Morrissey. The fiIm offers a stirring gIimpse into how one's course in Iife can be changed by a total stranger with seemingIy no culturaI simiIarities. The fans' stories are reveaIed by the devoted themseIves, providing powerfuI portraits of their obsession and transformative journeys. The camera foIlows these fans to Smiths tribute shows, Morrissey fan conventions and into Latino neighborhoods and family homes where the influence of the British pop icon resounds. One-on-one interviews with the fans are interspersed with personal archivaI materiaIs incIuding fanzines, fliers, and photographs, as weII as Iive-footage from tribute bands such as Sweet and Tender Hooligans and These Handsome DeviIs. Passions Just Like Mine creates a window into a worId where an eighteen-year-old Mexican immigrant can become obsessed with a forty-five-year-old man he's never known, and even more profoundIy, that this same young person is anything but aIone. |
