there Six different characters and six different names, each corresponding to a real person in history. Because of their existence, the famous Bob Dylan was born, and they are all outstanding figures who have had a great influence on Bob's music.

1. Black boy: Woody Guthrie
Woody himself is an excellent folk singer and a social practitioner. He was born in Oklahoma in 1912. His signature feature is the jacket that reads: This Machine Kills Fascists' guitar. It is this guitar that the little boy in the movie is holding in his hand.
This little black boy is the childhood of Bob's creative life. On Bob's first album, and later his most famous work: "Song To Wood" was completed under the huge influence of Woody Guthrie, the song itself is actually a tribute to Woody Guthrie. He wrote in the song:
Hey, Woody, I wrote a song for you, and
I want you to know that what I'm about to say has been said many times.
I'm singing for you, but I can't sing enough
because no one has done as much as you.
Hey, hey, Woody, I wrote you a song
Hey, hey, Woody Guthrie, but I know that you know
All the things I'm a-sayin' an' a-many a times more.
I'm a-singin' you this song, but I can't sing enough,
'Cause there's not many men who did the things that you've done.

He lived through some of the most important historical moments in the first half of the 20th century: the Great Depression, the Great Sandstorm, World War II, the Communist movement in America, and the Cold War system forming. These personal witnesses to the bottom of society have become the most abundant material in Woody's works. He has experienced the most embarrassing life. He has seen those people who are oppressed by the strong and helpless by nature, and heard their sighs and tears; he also heard the people's enthusiasm for life singing. Voice. So he earnestly studied the songs sung by people everywhere—those rooted in concrete life, and began to sing for them as well.
When Woody was in bed with Huntington's disease in 1961, a young man came to his bed, played guitar for him, and sang his own songs to pay the highest respect to his idol. The young man is Bob Dylan. It is also the scene of the little black boy in front of the hospital bed in the movie.

The little boy has a line: "Real American music originates from the bottom of society." This is the creative principle advocated by Bob Dylan in the early days. Life and the bottom do not pursue gorgeousness.

2. Christian Bale: Jack Rollins
' detailed information about this person is not yet available. According to the female folk singer Alice Fanian in the film, Jack is also an activist. He integrates his own knowledge and feelings about the world into created. Another female folk singer Carla Hendricks said that folk has always been a kind of political music, and Jack Rollins expressed it in an artistic form. The lyrics of Jack Rollins' "Heidi Carroll is a kitchen maid" directly challenged and criticized the middle and upper classes with "you hide your ugly face, it's time for you to cry". At that time, he was also evaluated by music lovers as "the most keen and profound person who observes the world today."

3. "Perfume" male: Arthar Rimband
French Symbolist and Surrealist poet, started writing at the age of 15. His works are brilliant and obscure, regarded as a symbol of modern art and an icon of the "rock age" of the 20th century. This geek took the initiative at 20 Abandoning creation, as reflected in the film, he said: "I don't like doing one thing over and over again."
Someone once asked Bob Dylan: "Has any poets inspired you?" Bob's answer was: "There are only two people: Emily Dickinson and Rimbaud." Bob Dylan, who does not do the same thing, is almost Bob's creed of Arthar's life.

4. Cate Brecht's version of Dylan, I believe many people will think that the effect of this women's version of men's clothing is the most stunning appearance in the film. Dylan's "saucy" in his bones, his indifference to secular prejudice, and his withered body are almost perfectly displayed. And Kate's version of Dylan is also the closest to Dylan's own experience. Among them, the fusion of styles during the British tour is also a manifestation of Dylan's incomprehensible charm. And about, the historical figure corresponding to Kate's name? OMGD...a lot of search engines are already ashamed of themselves. . .

As for the other two characters, the information is being collected, and I hope to complete this film review as soon as possible :P

    It's not easy to watch such a long movie. I started watching it a long time ago. I didn't stick to it until the end. I know where Bob Dylan has so much charisma and made so many actors to legend his life. I can't fall in love with this person but I But fell in love with the actor Cate Blanchett who interprets him
