A Complete Unknown Exclusive Extended Sneak Peek (2024)

[@larrygreen8446]

Back in high school during the 60s, I discovered that Bob Dylan's real name was Robert Zimmerman and that he hailed from Hibbing, Minnesota. One afternoon, I was at my girlfriend’s house, chatting with her in the kitchen while her mom worked nearby. As we talked, I casually mentioned this newfound fact about Dylan’s roots. Her mom suddenly froze, her expression a mix of disbelief and amazement. "Wait a minute," she said, her voice rising with recognition. "Little seven-year-old, curly-haired Bobby Zimmerman? *That* Bobby is Bob Dylan?" I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. She went on to explain that she had worked as a bookkeeper for Bob's father at his business back in Hibbing. The idea that this legendary musician, this cultural icon, was the same little boy she remembered from all those years ago left us both stunned. It felt like I had stumbled into a secret thread of history, connecting the everyday world to one of the most famous names in music. Years later, that moment came rushing back in the most surreal way. I was backstage at the Shoreline Amphitheater, invited by a friend to meet Carlos Santana. As I stood there taking in the atmosphere, I suddenly spotted Bob Dylan and Neil Young walking by, just feet away from me. For a split second, the memory of that kitchen conversation so many years ago hit me like a tidal wave. There I was, face-to-face with living legends, and yet all I could do was stand there, stunned and frozen, not knowing what to say or do. It was as if time had collapsed, bringing together a high school revelation and a backstage brush with greatness into one unforgettable moment.

[@RNicolasRuvalcaba]

Great story. Just imagine how many people have similar stories. Somewhere there are people that grew up with every music icon. BTW, you've got great writing skills. Your story is like a well written article in a rock magazine.

I’ll be seeing it Dec 18. This is the year of Bob for me. Toured his home in Hibbing, stood on the porch of his home in Duluth. Toured The Dylan & Guthrie museums in 2022. He’s an American Icon & one of the greatest artists this country has ever produced.

[@nd7]

Because Chalemet is singing better than Bob Dylan LOL

[@garad123456]

Ive read a lot of praise for her.

[@ua2586]

i read the film reviews today and seeing this clip, i begin to understand why one critic wrote that in the film you got to see Dylan from other people's eyes. the first four minutes of this clip is an example of this. of course chalamet is portraying Dylan in a very immersive yet very technical way, but, the people around him also help to portray who he is. clever move to release this clip after the film reviews today. and the director said his job is to make a film that make audience forgot our own world and live in the film's world and i think from what i experienced from watching this clip, this film made it. can't wait to watch this film in theatre.

[@kovie9162]

Virtually every biopic I've ever seen left me cold and unmoved, because they invariably try too hard to recreate the look and feel of their subject's life in a way that feels forced and unnatural, like a live action museum diorama, which works far better in a Ben Stiller comedy. They're exactly what you'd expect them to be, which ends up feeling flat, like a song cover that tries to be too faithful to the original version. Something about this seems different and more believable. I hope I'm right.

[@togatampubolon5948]

This, TC is worthy. He cant be underestimated as young actor anymore. GO TC!

Every clip I've seen looks completely authentic and done with care. Can't wait to see the whole thing!

Both the portrayals of Bob Dylan & Joan Baez seem spot on. Give them the Oscars 🏆

[@PaulConn-hv5tv]

But Bob’s key muse Suze Rotolo is represented by a made up character instead? Why?

[@Davidman3976]

I'm tired of people like you asking for Oscars to the best impression. Acting is not only about speaking like someone else. Half of the Oscars to the best actor since 2000 were given to imitators. And honestly, it sucks, because there are people with more talent than just copying someones voice and mannerisms. Last year many like you were imploring the Oscar to Ana de Armas for Blonde, just by watching the trailer. And the movie was horrible.

[@williamshakespears9594]

Well This is so wrong biaz did NOT write blowin in the wind (3 minute mark) and they never sang girl from north country live together

[@PaulConn-hv5tv]

@@Davidman3976 nothing to do with copying mannerisms. Everything to do with accuracy of retelling the story in what purports to be a biopic. Someone else has noted that the name change was at Dylan’s request which is odd in itself as anyone familiar with the real history knows who she was and her important role. Curiously, the very good depiction of Joan Baez did not attract a similar name change (but did get fictionalised as she did not “help” Dylan write Blowin’ In The Wind. But, like other music biopics it’s a mixture of fact and fantasy.

[@KaninTuzi]

[@williamhickey5296]

I haven't been this excited to see a movie in a theatre or anywhere for that matter as this one! Timothy nails it!

[@kenkaplan3654]

Dylan wrote Blowin in the Wind before he took up with Baez. He also wrote Hard Rain before their relationship as well as all of of Freewheelin' as he was with Suze Rotolo. One song that blew her mind and probably helped her romantic feelings was " With God on Our Side". She said "I was bowled over. I never thought anything so powerful could come out of that little toad." I understand it makers it easier cinematically to use "Wind", a more well known, less scathing revisionist political song but it ain't historically accurate. Haven't seen the movie. Do they soft pedal Dylan's savage assault on America in two of his greatest albums? "Bringing It All Back Home" was an earthquake and "Highway 61 Revisited" is one of the most important albums in rock history.

[@roscoefoofoo]

Spot-on and well-said. Thanks for this. Even so, the movie might make good use of taking liberties with history. Hope so!

[@leapsplashafrog]

[@Stephanlabize]

I like the fact that he is not doing an impression. He kinda channels BD through his own looks and does a bit of voice but it's not caricatural so it doesn't come off as over the top. Kinda like what Phoenix did with Johnny Cash

I've seen this movie at a screening and this was one of my favorite scenes in the film. I can say it truly lives up to the hype and is one of the best experiences you'll have in the theater. Go see it opening day! 🙏

[@lukeelgon6399]

I saw early takes and rushes from this film, and much look forward to seeing the finished article in the new year. My initial take is that the director tried too hard not to sensationalise Dylan, but in so doing has satisfied musical purists like me much more than he will cinema buffs. The true gift of the film, the genius, is the acting and (at least to me) musical craftsmanship of Chalamet, surely a clear Oscar performance.

[@fromchomleystreet]

Still can’t quite believe they finally cast Timothee Chalamet as a legendary 1960s music icon and it somehow ISN’T Syd Barrett, but I’m still pretty keen to see this. Should be an interesting companion piece to the Cohen Brothers’ “Inside Llewyn Davis”, set in exactly the same world in the same period, but where the arrival of Dylan (here a minor, peripheral character) in the New York folk clubs is the END of the story, rather than the beginning.

[@alexanderwood3465]

I've just finished the Dark Globe book on Syd Barrett and I could see the biopic in my head whilst reading. It's criminal Barrett hasn't had the biopic treatment, it could examine so much...

[@W0rdsandMus1c]

Why are so many jumping to the conclusion that they are saying Joan wrote BINW? they are not, she picks his notes up and says "Play this one" for all the doubters I suggest watching Zayn Lowe's interview with Timothy about the film, very enlightening.

[@stefanbarth8115]

[@fishingportklang5868]

As an aging boomer Malaysian, this is so happening! My friend’s grandson is named Dylan too, naturally after Bob.

[@kovie9162]

The start of this clip feels very familiar and genuine. I'm no Bob Dylan by a long shot, certainly at music, but early on I showed a natural facility for certain things that other people had to work really hard at, and I got quite a bit of resentment for it, as if one had to pay one's dues to be deserve to be good at something, which is of course ridiculous. If you're good you're good and all that's left is to work hard to be even better. Chalamet did a great job of capturing the kind of reaction that an untried, insecure but talented young man might have to being treated this way. I'm sure that it hurt, how could it not, but it probably also spurred him on to become one of the best and most important musicians of the second half of the 20th century. When someone tells you that you don't deserve what you naturally have, it either destroys you, or it motivates you to prove them wrong and avenge the slight. He got a lotta nerve. Positively.

[@cigh7445]

Sixties to seventies Dylan has been my favourite artist since I was twenty, I am now thirty years old. It is kind of annoying that it will take a popular young actor to get the fad followers of this generation to listen to and hopefully appreciate what most of them probably think of as 'old stuff' more lol. I expect to see plenty of new young hot American Idol-esque performances with fake emotion and theatrics performing Bob Dylan songs in the future! (Yes I'm very cynical but don't worry I don't go to parties) (It looks like Timothee has young Dylan nailed by the way, great casting, and this is the same director who made Walk the Line I believe, so it should be a more earthy and a less cartoony and overdramatic recreation of this period than what many music biopics tend to be these days)

I am so looking forward to seeing this movie. No single writer has affected my life more than Dylan, and he still does. Chalamet looks, acts and sings just like him. He is amazing. I am curious about one thing in this clip, however. It looks as if Joan is handing Bob the lyrics to BITW as if she wrote them. Am I mis- viewing this? Or are we meant to understand that she is picking up one of his lyrical sheets. They cannot be suggesting that Joan wrote it, right? That would ruin it for me.

[@philallard986]

also, Bob wrote that way before Joan was in the picture. It was Suzie's time.

[@reflex-learner]

I’d be interested in a story that explores a low point of Bobs life, when he was not popular. Or late in life such as when he produced Rough and Rowdy Ways in 2020. Or a film about a comeback period, such as Oh Mercy or even better the Trilogy in the 90s-00s. I’m excited for Gen Z to discover six decades of studio albums and bootlegs and such of Dylan’s music.

I've seen a LOT of music biopics. The ones which just drop in to one period in a musical story and play it authentically are always the best.

And the same lack of concern about switching a few things around in harmless ways. 😅

At certain angles the actor pulls it off looking like a young Dylan. As for the voice, they could have chosen someone else or massaged the sound track some to recreate that special voice. I'll go and see the film just the same and soak in the history. I did though see the Rolling Thunder Review when it passed through Waterbury, CT in the mid-70's at the Capital theatre there. We had 5 th row seats for one of the most memorable concerts of my life. Distinctly remember seeing Ginsberg pacing up and down the isle for some reason before the show.

The timing is off. Bob was living in a small apartment on West 4th Street with Suzy Rotolo when he wrote Blowing in the Wind and all the early songs.

[@grodard9]

Forget the interview. This scene is perfect as it reveals the type of relationship between the two: Baez admires his talent while rejecting his bullshit as smart women are known to do. This is cinema not a documentary, you rearrange more or less as you please to create meaningfull scenes.
