Brilliant and touching

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

As a disclaimer, I think it is important to say that I do not know a whole lot about Bob Dylan. I thought I knew enough when I started the film, and quickly learned I was wrong. "I'm Not There" excels as a work of art, and an anti-biopic – though it can be very enigmatic at times. The story tends to be hard to follow, as it jumps between characters and aspects of Dylan's work. This is most likely done on purpose, but it makes the narrative difficult to understand. This film is not one that allows the audience to sit back, an relax as they watch. It requires an attentive eye, and allows for an ambiguous definition, as the viewer must come to their own conclusion. After the movie has ended, you have to take the pieces of evidence given, much like pieces of a mosaic, and put them together yourself. In creating your own picture, you may find yourself missing a piece, not liking what you see, or wondering if you've put them together correctly. But that too is purposeful.

Clearly I needed to be high on something, or be french, to appreciate this. Pretentious, boring nonsense of the highest order.Some people have commented that they could not follow this as they don't know much about Bob Dylan. I am a huge fan of Bob Dylan and know a lot about his history, but even I could not follow the plot (assuming there was one). Clearly inside knowledge doesn't help.The only thing keeping this from getting the lowest possible rating is the soundtrack, which features actual Bob Dylan songs, not covers. The sad thing about that is that Bob Dylan must have endorsed this movie, otherwise he would not have allowed his recordings to be used.The fact that the movie is directed by Todd Haynes is a tip-off that it is craptacular. He directed Velvet Goldmine, another movie whose subject had heaps of potential but ended up being a pile of pretentious, boring excrement.

Todd Haynes has delivered his best film to date about the multiple facets of living legend musician, poet, and writer, Bob Dylan. While Dylan has been awarded the Kennedy Center Honors, this film is quite a tribute to the man's legacy and his role forever in the world and not just America. For most of us, Bob Dylan is a songwriter and musician but also philosopher, poet, and activist. His music inspired people and still does. The film is a mixture of six characters including an African American child Marcus Carl Franklin who played Woody in the 1950s. There is Cate Blanchett's well-deserved Oscar nomination for supporting actress as Jude Quinn in the mid-60s in England where the song, "Mr. Jones," comes into play. Bruce Greenwood played the inspirational role of a British television journalist. There is Richard Gere in the 1800s small town with his dog, Henry. There is Ben Whishaw who is not used enough in the film. Of course, the late Heath Ledger played a significant role opposite French actress, Charlotte Gainsbourg. Michelle Williams played Coco, an actress, as well. This film is perfect casting. The writing might need more tweaking and the ending was confusing but the originality is what I'll take away from it. This film is a perfect tribute to Bob Dylan.

I'm not a spoiler type of guy, but i'll mention a lil bit of this and a lil bit of that. First of all the cast is spectacular with majestic performances, and if someone would ask me why i think this way, i have a suggestion... Please watch Scorsese's No direction home- Bob Dylan and watch closely, and then you can see why Cate Blanchett, Heath Ledger and Christian Bale did a fantastic job, pure art. You're not there, you are everywhere... That's exactly how i feel about Dylan. There were a lot of changes in his life, pure chaos, but many of us saw the beauty of that chaos, the spirit of Dylan's believes,lyrics, poetry. "I go where i please". Thank you, i loved it.
