Movie ReviewsIt's good but... B. E Jackson | Pennsylvania | 09/01/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "There's one *extremely* important thing about I'm Not There that you absolutely MUST know. It's a film that's quite confusing to understand because it focuses on very specific details about Dylan's adventurous life from the mid to late 60's.
I was honestly quite confused watching this film, especially in the very beginning. I didn't get the Jack Rollins segments, or the little kid riding a train with a guitar and a talented singing voice. These parts went completely over my head, however, I'm not someone who knows a whole lot about Dylan's background- I just listen to his (absolutely terrific) music. I love Blonde on Blonde, Blood on the Tracks and Desire for example. Now another problem with the film (perhaps an even bigger problem) is that Bob Dylan himself is a *very* complex individual. Most of his lines in the movie were pretty accurate as far as what he's actually like in real life- pretty darn confusing to understand. His lyrics and his music make sense, but his interviews are quite mind-bogglingly difficult to figure out. Trying to understand exactly where Dylan stands on certain issues can be quite the challenge because, let's be honest, he's significantly more intelligent than the average person (like me, for example). This means I'm Not There is loaded with hard to comprehend segments that the average person won't get. Asking Dylan a straight question just result in a really complicated answer. Make sure before watching I'm Not There that you have a really thorough knowledge of his life (especially his 60's period) because if you don't, you'll probably be sitting there really confused like I was. As for all the actors who portrayed Bob Dylan... was that really necessary? I think it would have been better to settle on just one person even if that one person doesn't quite match the appearance and personality of the ever-changing Dylan figure. That's what I think at least. However, all these actors are good in their performance. I can totally believe that Dylan WAS exactly like how the actors portrayed him to be. Just keep in mind this movie is not for the average fan- it's for HUGE Dylan fans." |
