Hype: I'm Not There is a movie that I have been wanting to see for a while now. I find the concept of this film to be very interesting, a Bob Dylan bio-pic that never mentions Bob and has 6 people playing "Bob" including Cate Blanchett and Heath Ledger. I may not be the biggest fan of Bob Dylan, but I do enjoy his music and look forward to learning more about his life. I also look forward to Christian Bale and Heath Ledger's performances. I am also looking forward to the film technique used in this film.
Initial Review: Interesting. That's all I can say. I'm Not There is a very interesting movie. I don't really know what else to say. It was a complete and total trip. If you are a huge Bob Dylan fan, this movie is a must. For those of you that aren't big fans of Dylan, you might not be that interested. I found the acting to be amazing, but the story was fairly confusing.
My favorite portrayals of Dylan are Cate Blanchett and Christian Bale. I can see why Blanchett was nominated for so many awards, each nomination was well deserved. Bale once again put on another amazing performance. It has been a while since I have been disappointed with Bale.
I would love to go into the synopsis of I'm Not There, but I don't think I can. I totally want to watch it again, but first I need to read up on Bob Dylan's bio and see how the stories that make up I'm Not There actually relate to his life.
Overall, I thought I'm Not There was a great film. Is it a film that you can put in at anytime and watch? No. Is it a film that tells a great story, filmed in an incredible way and has some of the best actors around? Yes. I can't recommend this one to everyone, but if you are willing to take a chance and give this film some time and appreciation, you will not be disappointed. I definitely want to watch it again.
