Has anyone seen it and wants to discuss? |
Yes! I’m a huge Dylan fan and thought it was really well done. Chalamet was amazing and there were moments I forgot it wasn’t Dylan. |
I love Dylan and agreed it was a movie. Oscar worthy performances but it left you wanting more. That's the point i suppose |
I listened to the entirety of Biograph today. So fantastic I hope there’s a renewed interest in Dylan’s music. |
DS and I loved it. Timothy did a great job acting *and* performing the songs and that’s not easy to do. |
Went on Christmas and my teens, DH, and I all thought it was great! Really well done. |
We really enjoyed the biopic on Bob Dylan starring Timothy Chalamet.
It is not perfect: Timothy’s portrayal of Bob Dylan remained enigmatic and bit superficial throughout. Did not explore why he changed his name from Zimmerman to Dylan in 1962 or why he seemingly ghosted his Jewish family in Minnesota. But it is an evocative period piece that transported us to 1960s New York/ Greenwich Village. Timothy’s singing improved as the movie went on while Monica Barbaro who played Joan Baez sang her folk classics from that era beautifully. Edward Norton as Pete Seeger was perfect. Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie and Elle Fanning as Dylan’s former girlfriend in real life were all well cast. I am with the 95% of audience who gave it a fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. |
Chat GPT much? |
I thought it was boring. But, it seems Dylan was and is boring. I am not into his music, tried to get into it, but just not my style. I think Eric Clapton is more my style. |
So impressed with his post that he started his own thread! https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1247322.page |
No none of that was from chat GPT |
Yeah right / I apologized as soon as I saw this thread and said I would take my comment to this thread. I was not impressed with my post but with the movie. But it was not perfect. |
Where are those middle finger icons when you need them? |
Dylan is a genius. You probably don't get it |
I might not get it. I am a classically trained pianist and have played Chopin, Between, etc. the hardest pieces in addition to studying composition, harmony, accompaniment, you name it. I think his lyrics are great, I just don't like the wailing sounds of the voice. |
