Its a small Aussie Indie flick), and then I moved and had to get around to connecting the TV and the DVD player... being too tired to watch movies for a while and finally today managing to watch it end to end...<BR/><BR/>Now I feel like I can comment on this post!<BR/><BR/>But still, somewhat uneducated because ofcourse, unlike yourself, I'm not overly familiar with Dylan. And it seems, music is one of your 'things' and knowing music and certain musicians really well. I'm just not that cool.<BR/><BR/>All that aside... it was a fantastic piece of poetry in the form of a movie, even for the uninitiated. A little hard to follow if you don't know Dylan's history, sure, but I felt prompted to go read up on him afterwards. Like I do with other good movies on historical figures I'm unfamiliar with.<BR/><BR/>Yes the 'real' tag is tough, and its hard to define... and what one means by that is not the same as another... and even when you think you've seen the 'real' someone that doesn't mean that's how they'll behave a majority of the time for all kinds of reasons.<BR/><BR/>I too, once downloaded Second Life and yeah... people attempting to connect without any of the benefits of actual connection...<BR/><BR/>Did you hear the story recently of a couple that got divorced because the guy had an 'affair' in Second Life?

I guess it's fitting for a movie about one of the most enigmatic icons in American history. Bob Dylan is probably the greatest musician in history, with maybe the exception of the beatles, and I'm Not There does an incredible job of paying tribute in an almost parodic style. Great movie.
