What are your Top 5 songs about your life

Rating: 9/10 (6 March 2007)

I would take High Fidelity as an ode on music and breakup. It revolves around the life of Rob Gordon (Cusack) his love-life and breakups and his two employees Dick and Barry, arguing daily about the music in a small music store. The man topic is Rob's struggle to find a stable relationship, why his other relationships has failed. Its not mainly about his breakup with Laura, relationship with Laura, its about looking for answers. Why he ends up in painful break up, why he is afraid of committed relationship It is a comedy but its humor is very subtle, the funniest scenes are taken by Jack Black but he doesn't take it too far.
I love the way it is narrated by Cusack, not in voice-over by directly in the film, while it doesn't interrupts the film at all, it really brings feeling and thoughts more closer to the audience, its more sincere, open and helps the narration, mainly in flashbacks. Without the narration, it would be a much weaker experience.
His affection to music is reflected in various Top 5 music list of different topics. Actually I have heard minimum of the songs he mentioned but its a great source for a new music taste. I would definitely advise everyone this film, whether for its honesty or for
