“A complete unknown”


I didn’t see anyone write about this so I thought I would ask others if you had seen the movie, “A complete unknown ?” I have not seen any movies about Dylan and only had two of his albums many years ago but I thought the movie was good. It was well acted, with great performances of his music and surprisingly educational. Can’t say I am a Dylan fan but the movie was moving and made me want to explore his music more thoroughly. Your thoughts?

I saw it this week and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am a Dylan fan, but I think that others would enjoy it. An insightful snapshot of a rapidly changing world. 

We saw it on Christmas Day, and loved it. Go see it, and you won't be disappointed. Or, wait till it comes out on cable. In any case, you will like it!

Glad the movie enhanced your appreciation of Dylan.

I've always been a fan. It's not not clear to me why I'd want to see a Hollywood dramatization when I can listen to the real thing.  

I did see "I'm not there" online and wasn't impressed. 

Saw it. Loved it!

These days I levitate towards most of his newer releases of the last 20 years where he has a lot of new, relevant and very interesting things to say, perhaps more than ever, in addition to exploring new horizons musically, mostly music with American origins, beyond just the folk-based music he became famous for initially way back when.

Also saw him live last year on Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour. My wife went as well, also saw the movie and is now a Dylan fan as well, which totally surprises me.  She’s an Elvis and Abba fan also. 🤭

 

 

 

I had the misfortune of seeing it in a theater with a bad sound system which sounded like it had been beat to death showing action movies. Dialogue was about 50% intellligible. Music was often shrill and cacophonous. For some reason during the Big Bill blues scene the music of him playing was all there.
