"I'm Not There": The Power of Women

Do you sometimes think women are intolerable animals? They are vain, hypocritical, and fuss over trivial things, and they are so shallow that sometimes you can't bear it. However, in this movie, only Cate Blanchett’s Bob Dilun really resembles him. And Kate, you know, she is a woman.
A scene at the open-air music festival scene, the singer with tousled curly hair, thin, and sunglasses on the stage, for a while makes you mistakenly think this is Dylan's video. From this moment on, Dylan came, and Kate borrowed his body to resurrect his life, and this idea of ​​using several different people to play Dylan and one of them was actually a female. You think it’s great, but the one who resembles Dylan the most It's this woman.
Of course, that's Kate's good acting skills. The Dylan you saw in "No Direction Home" looks almost exactly the same as this one. Slim, dark colored shirt, speaking of his characteristics, it is most appropriate to use neuroticism. The way he smokes, the body he never sits upright, he looks restless like a naughty child. He is a sleepwalker, when he is with his friends. He was a passer-by when he was at a press conference. Everyone wanted to engage in this world at first, but in the end they could only be engaged in this world, and Dylan was the one who succeeded, so he was treated as an idol, with all his outdated appearances.
But also at that conference, Kate was not like Dylan. Because on the video of the press conference, Dylan’s eyes were very disturbing. His honesty was surprising. He felt that he couldn’t answer the question at all. He asked the reporter, a little sly, as if he was serious, but you know he’s here. Fooling that person, you know that he doesn't want to be labeled, he doesn't bother to perfuse, he simply tells you what he doesn't know, please stay away. But Kate, she made Dylan like a confident, an idol, his fans underneath, he ruled the world, dominates the world, calm and relaxed, everyone is waiting for him to speak. But that was never what Dylan wanted to do. He never needs to hide his confusion, his neuroticism, his ego, he doesn't act. And this kind of neuroticism does often belong to women.
In this world, we have to be careful to keep it so that our soul is not lost. For most of us, the loss of the soul is inevitable, and we often forget the original direction in the joy of materialism. But Dylan is not. I remember the shock that his autobiography "Like a Rolling Stone" gave me, a lively soul trying to break through the paper, encroaching on me, awakening me, until I feel that my long-forgotten soul is about to move. , It was a seed trying to germinate, and suddenly realized the feeling of existence. That book is very worth reading again. I remember Dylan said that he admires his wife because she always has her own ideas and she is different from others. Dylan is really a strange person. That was almost the only place he mentioned her in that book.
Going back to this movie, the actress who played his wife is also very good. These are the two most impressive actors in this movie. All are women. This role is independent, strong, and never lost. She has a very strong soul. The reasons she chose to abandon men are so unique-I left you because I love you, and I don't want to be a burden on you.
Kate has always followed Dylan in a decent way, and the similarity is amazing. But when she sits in the car, takes off her sunglasses, and can no longer simulate with her body, she only has this face, after all, she is just Kate. It was at the end of the film. Dylan was talking about the meaning of music. It was faith, it was a nanny, and it made people no longer confused. Finally, she looked at the camera mischievously with a meaningful look. It was a woman who mocked after playing a man, as if she was saying, look, this is Dylan, but this is actually me. A perfect ending. It is one with the character's body and soul, but you might as well add a little naughty rhyme to it. To travel freely between reality and the spiritual world is the fascinating aspect of the actor's job. This Dylan belongs to Dylan and also to Kate.
And women are often surprising. When she gives up vanity and hypocrisy, she may be more powerful than men.
