      individual

      Bob Dylan's two biopics, one no direction home, one I'm not there. The names are similar in purpose, both have a little bit of confusion, which is also taken from the words in his own music, how much Can show his inner world. However, Bob Dylan's inner world is also one of the most elusive. The most typical one is the famous betrayal of folk music in the mid-1960s. When the surging army of rock and roll attacked and crushed the momentum of folk music, fans While people were hopeful that Bob...

      Just personal opinion...

      The biographical film about Bob Dylan,

      I'm not there

       

      , is very strange and interesting. His music and personal life are expressed in a very creative way.

      Five or six people of different ages and races are found to play different generations. Dylan

       

      is the funniest thing about watching this movie is I guess who will play what

      because in the movie even the people who play Bob Dylan are not called Dylan in it,

      they...

      ur not there...

      The tendency to pretend is too serious. It's okay to confuse so many characters, but it's okay to deliberately intersperse the time in such a mess, except that it feels deliberately not for the audience to understand, there is no other artistic sense. Looking tired. Plus, with so many characters and stories, with such a grand performance, in the end I still don't feel like I'm really impressed with what kind of person Dylan is - except to get the pretenders to get excited about those scenes and...

      Three stars to be treated thinly

      In all honesty, the three-star evaluation is a low opinion of it, but this kind of film of the personal biography of a music star is really difficult to find a resonance point of emotional collision for me, who is completely blank about the history of American music development. The originality of the film lies in the use of multiple stars to play the character characteristics, life experiences and musical journeys of the same character at different stages of life. Among them, Blanchette's role...

      it is too hard to love someone

      Not a bob dylan fan, just mentioned it repeatedly in a couple of issues in Triple Life Weekly focusing on the 1968 trend. Contemporaries with the Beatles. I'd love to know about his wife and two What happened to my daughter later? It's a digression! It's very difficult to fall in love with a pop idol of an era. The idol will not center on you, will not take you as the whole life. He will admit that you are his lover, will Marrying you is probably your greatest happiness. After that, what he...

      Cate Blanchett plays Dylan the most. Fan movies are full of all kinds of jokes and metaphors, interspersed with each other in different periods. If you don't know Dylan, you must be...

      If I hadn't learned about something small about Dylan's childhood, I would have mistaken film history as a story about six people from a little black boy. Such a stream of consciousness, confused and...

      I don't know him, and I don't really want to know him in a short time. Anyway, I haven't even heard a few of his songs. My desire to watch this film basically comes from the amazing reversal in the legend of CATE, and the main viewing enjoyment also comes from this. I started to adore her. So even though I didn't understand it, I gave it four...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The ending song played at the end of the film is a cover of Dylan's classic old song "Im not there" I'm Not There by Sonic Youth, which is from one of the underground records series of Bob Dylan.
    Before "Im not there" was officially released, a short film footage leaked out on the Internet. It was a few minutes after Catherine Elise Blanchett played Bob Dylan and met the poet Ellen Ginsberg on the road.
    The original title of the film was...

    Evaluation action

    The film is not only a rigorous biographical film, but also a grand opera composed of folk songs, a beautiful prose poem, and even a dream, full of praise for youth and talent. ("Entertainment Weekly" review) 
    The whole movie "I'm Not There" is strung together with Dylan's famous songs, disrupting time and space, abandoning traditional narrative methods, and lacking a clear storyline. A lot of facts about Dylan’s life are involved in...

    Movie quotes

    • Arthur: Y'know, it's nature's will. And I'm against nature. I don't dig nature at all.

    • Jude: Yeah it's chaos, it's clocks, it's watermelons, it's everything.

    • Arthur: Seven simple rules of going into hiding: one, never trust a cop in a raincoat. Two, beware of enthusiasm and of love, both are temporary and quick to sway. Three, if asked if you care about the world's problems, look deep into the eyes of he who asks, he will never ask you again. Four, never give your real name. Five, if ever asked to look at yourself, dont. Six, never do anything the person standing in front of you cannot understand. And finlly seven, never create anything, it will be misinterpreted, it will chain you and follow you for the rest of your life.
