I didn't know anything about the Bob Dylan's life only a few songs that I had heard of him once. But even so, for me it was a film well done, each of these episodes-characters shaped Dylan's personality, all his dreams, concerns, afflictions, obstacles, that converge into one point: the myth, the legend.
This dream's touch that has the story for many is the biggest hit to mix it with each of Dylan's songs, but it is also true that this is the characteristic that makes keeping the viewer, more often, on the sidelines because we are not able to go depth to the outcome of each conversation, phrase or episode submitted by Haynes's direction who knew how to summarize, simplify and splitting a story without beginning or end, as must be the life of any myth.
Technically the film is a visual delight. The frantic editing that combines a story with another through a photography that uses the white and black's mysticism and dark colors's melancholy that make the film easily advance, even its incomprehensible moments, as all human life, but beautiful for being exactly the same thing. The performances achieved are perfect too, especially Blanchett and Ledger that performed someone closer to a Bob Dylan.
At the end of all the movie is a journey through a legend that never met, a character who is on the screen but isn't the original, which is set by all the stories but that doesn't belong to any. This is the story of a man who rather than a man is the lyrics and chords of a song.
