Even now at eighty plus years, dylan goes on touring..He doesn't need the money, fame or attention..He just loves playing with his band..A few years ago I caught him in zurich switzerland playing with some old timers in a park..Love the guy because he's always been just bob, doing his thing..Nothing more, nothing less..

Bob sold his entire catalog for large money, good on him. He doesn't care about this project.

Jim Mangold! My two sons (ages 16 and 14) and I saw A Complete Unknown over this Christmas break, Dec 26th to be exact...bottom line AMAZING movie! Engaging and entertaining! Timothee plays Bob Dylan in a wonderful manner...subtle, unpretentious and somehow confident. Well done, Timothee! Some friends of mine and I saw Bob Dylan when I was in college in 1993 and we met Carlos Santana, same show. We wanted to meet Bob that day, but not even Timothee has met Bob yet so l don't feel so bad. 😂It was great meeting Carlos though. Kind guy. The build up in the movie (that Jim Mangold drives so capably) is quite impressive. From the beginning with Dylan showing up in NY with a dream and his guitar to those realistic scenes in Greenwich Village, Newport and the old hospital where Woody Guthrie lay dyin'...THANK YOU, Jim, for capturing the vibe of those times so well in a very understated way. Bravo for creating a fantastic film! Kudos to the ensemble cast! Ed Norton did a great job making us dislike Pete (a minor villain) who was too altruistic and narrow minded regarding folk music in some ways, but fervently protective in a great way, and the awesome actresses...Monica Barbaro (as Joan Baez) and Elle Fanning (as Bob's girlfriend Sylvie) ...truly top-notch performances...realistic and raw. Thinking back on the movie..10/10!!! Not easy to pull a rabbit out of a hat, but that is what Bob Dylan did and that is what Jim Mangold and the cast did! Bob Dylan himself was humbled by what came through him during those times...see Bob Dylan and Ed Bradley 60 minutes interview. A humble, enigmatic and legendary American!!! Bob Dylan. Thank you, Bob, for allowing God's LIGHT to flow THROUGH you! 🙏🏼❤️🕊️🎉

I had fun scoring the guitar on this short and great interview done by my songwriting mentor and friend JP Olsen. I found James Mangold's answers and thoughts encompassed many of the feelings I have about Bob Dylan. I loved the chair and table building analogy for young artists. I'm building all kinds of chairs and tables over on my page. Looking forward to seeing this film with my young daughter and how millions of youth will now know more about this story.

The furniture production metaphor is interesting but I'm reminded that for his first album, Dylan only had a couple of his own songs ready to go.

Kudus to James Margold for this extremely insightful interview about art and artists and for making this master work of a film, "A Complete Unknown'.

@rockturtleneck Ай бұрын

Excellent interview. I've always taken issue with the fact that Dylan is considered an enigma as well. As Mangold says, Bob is constantly laying it out there on the line. And while he doesn't sit down to do talk show interviews, he has done many in-depth print interviews over the years--way more than someone like Mick Jagger for example, who rarely does interviews and when he does, reveals very little.

You know, as someone who’s always been aware of Bob Dylan, and grown up with his music… I forget that it’s not the case for everyone. There’s generations of people who are just too young to maybe be aware of him at all… but I think if someone who falls into that category goes to see this movie, and the music touches and speaks to them, then they want to learn more about the music and Dylan himself, then they are in for quite a treat and ride. I’ve seen Dylan go through his different “ phases “ and seen him perform live probably four times, and there’s a lot to uncover. Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s there was a HUGE amount of diversity in music to listen to… it was just an incredible time to be around…! Music was a friend to me, growing up… it was always there when I needed it to be, it never said NO… but afforded me to have as I refer it to as” friends I’ll never meet “… and if this movie does that or opened a world of knowledge and discovery for anyone… then that’s a positive thing. ( I encourage anyone wanting to see the reaction to Dylan plugging in… there’s a video here on KZbin of Dylan playing “Like A Rolling Stone “ in the U.K. , and he is yelled at by an audience member, and Bob reacts… it’s truly a moment in rock n roll history… on film… check it out)… long live Bob Dylan and his music !

Agree with this...I forget that there are several generations for whom Bob Dylan is irrelevant if they have heard of him at all. So hat's off to the "brains behind Pa" who conceived of and put this film together.

Good interview, and a terrific movie. I saw it yesterday. One character left out of the movie (it's okay, it would only complicate the really good story the film tells) is Ramblin' Jack Elliot, who was a protege of Woody Guthrie, and appeared to have influenced Dylan's early performances. I mention Ramblin' Jack because he might have also influenced Dylan's willingness to remake himself in whatever image he wanted. Ramblin" Jack Elliot was the son of a Brooklyn doctor, who ran away with the rodeo once, and eventually taught himself to be a singing cowboy folk star. An entire remake of himself to be what he wanted to be. Perhaps Bob's stories about working for a carnival or learning notes from cowboys were ideas he got from Jack.

Sometimes I have really read some of his lyrics and made an effort to understand them and what I found was somewhat mystical and open ended that just hit the right strings in my psyche. Dylan is important.

Dylan is literally the one responsible for creating the genre of the solo 'singer-songwriter'. That whole thing spawned after him. It's not something Dylan set out to do, it just organically happened.

What about Woody Guthrie? Didn't he have a massive influence on the early Dylan? His early "persona" certainly sounded and looked like Woody.

@allangow4746 Ай бұрын

Dylan realised that not explaining his work made it far more interesting and mysterious. I don't think we will ever see another artist like Dylan, everyone that came after him has been influenced directly or indirectly in some way by his work.

@faithallen1169 Ай бұрын

I'm almost 70 and never was a real Dylan fan and people who are real Dylan fans have a reverence towards him, like he's an icon. I just remember when Dylan went from folk singer to electric some of his fans were not so respectful anymore. He's had a long career. I liked him a little more when he was in "The Band".I will see the movie.

@ramspencer5492 Ай бұрын

A big missed opportunity, was when the filmmaker of Don't Look Back, who had access to a whole UK tour, and to see and film many facets of Dylan.... Chose to have a selfish agenda and make a very narrow, and non objective biography... And try to paint Dylan's character into a box... Dylan was shocked when he saw it and felt it was propaganda... It was a catalyst for him to withdraw much more from the public than he already had.

I grew up on Dylan coveting most of his albums till Desire. His music since then has been good, even great, but there’s a lot of in betweens that are just ordinary. I saw him perform in the mid 90s at Radio City but was so disappointed. His voice was horrible, his versions of past great songs seemed labored and disinterested. I think his tours have reached incredible heights - his time with the Band, his crazy time with the Rolling Thunder Revue, etc. Never heard any music from his tours with Petty and the Dead…
