I'm Not There

If you like Bob Dylan's music or if you like art, you should see this.
This movie is something I will watch many times. It's surreal. Great music, and cinematography.
Before The Devil Knows You're Dead

I saw this today and think it's near perfect. No B.S, a great script, acting, and emotion.
P.s: forget "Saw 4" and "Death Sentence" |

How long is "I'm Not There"? I watched a bit less than an hour on a movie site, figuring it was a short film ( listed at 58 mins) but it was cut off when some more action should have happened.
Edit: 2 hours 15 mins |

Well, I watched I'm Not There, last night. I can't make my mind up about it.
It's a bit too enigmatic. Or trying to be anyway. I dunno. It doesn't work as a biography. I don't think it tried. Yet the re-enactments of some definitive Dylan moments were there. The 'Judas!' moment etc...
Some scenes were very well done and the music selection was bang on.
The casting was a little jarring. But only because they tried to use about 7 different actors for Dylan!
But it was all a bit of a jumble. |

Thanks for the pointer towards "Before the devil knows you're dead"....
Awesome and I have always plugged Albert Finney as THE actor of the last 50 years. He does it again. Ethan Hawke...well he needs help but this movie doesn't. Excellent.

Yes I have been waiting for a good version of this.
About the Dylan flick. It reminded me of a painting, or a song. The audience can read into it what they want. Knowing about the artist makes the painting more interesting, and fascinating.
I will have to watch it a few times. |

I've not seen I'm not there.. I can't decide if I want to. Read some reviews and what they say about it it isn't really my thing. I AM really looking forward to No Country for Old Men though...
Two Movies:
Once - Hardly much of a story but totally engaging and really touching. The music is fantastic and fits the mood of the film perfectly.
City Of God - I couldn't think of another recent one so this is an oldie, but its a goldie. Amazing story of kids in the slums in Brazil, totally shocking, but one of my top 10 of all time. |

| Agree on both counts there, City of God stuck with me for a long while. The music in Once is so real. |

| Saw 'City of God': damn, what a film, violent, casual killing, sometimes over trivial stuff. Like a gangster movie, but more real than most of those. |

That's how I felt about it. I think I wanted it to be more than a biopic than it was. I came home and watched No Direction Home after seeing I'm Not There and felt like that was what I was looking for.
I do appreciate the film for what it is, though. There is so much of it that I really loved and so much of it that I expected to be different.

I am head over heels in love with this movie. It manages to break my heart every time I watch it...especially after learning what the girl says in Czech when asked if she loves her husband. |

No thank you.
When I was in univesity I had the unpleasent experience of sharing an apartment with a hippie who used to play the Slob Dylan crap. Its not surprising that shortly after I got into Skinhead Oi. |

| "The Garbage Pail Kids Movie" was top notch, especially the musical interludes. |

"Irreversible" has to be the most painful and excrutiating film I have ever watched (I couldn't watch the underpass scene). After it was over I sat in stunned silence thinking to myself, "what in the *beep* was that?!?" It was a good film, just a little too edgy for me. |
