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 hints. I don’t think a movie should be a guessing game. Movies should have neutral requirements for the audience. Even if the plot is obscure (or, like many literary films, there is no plot), it should at least allow people to get a certain feeling from a macro perspective. There is no feeling in this film.

Although Cate played well, she just couldn't accept Bob Dylan being a woman. In all the movies I've seen, no one has performed Dylan's taste. I like Dylan so much, and this is the first time I watched a music film and actually heard most of the songs in the film, sad~

    Best biopic I've seen in 2008. Now think about Bob Dylan's concert in Beijing, will have more experience. He is a musical philosopher who has recorded and influenced the times. Also, the actors in this film are simply amazing! Cate Blanchett got an Oscar, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger and Bale!

    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 wonderful.

I'm Not There quotes

  • Billy the Kid: People are always talking about freedom. Freedom to live a certain way, without being kicked around. Course the more you live a certain way, the less it feel like freedom. Me, uhm, I can change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else. I don't know who I am most of the time.

  • Jude: [looking up at a giant Jesus on the cross] Do your early stuff!
