- Movie, I'm Not There

Wow. This movie calms me. Bob Dylan's music-inspired film. His music is always... I don't know how to say it! It makes one just fall silent - and listen. To his music, to his lyrics.

Great movie.

It's not just all calming... It's like... You kind of accept what is said about life in the movie, what the people say. The characters are based on real-life people. Who kind of become celebrities. But, at the end of the day, the film is really just about these people as people. Not as celebrities. That's real. That's not lies. These 'celebrities'... They're just people, aren't they. Not all of them are just trying to sell us something. Some people really try to be singers, and they end up being sold as commodities. And the movie actually shows how it can be kind of sad. Trying to avoid one's 'art' becoming some kind of product. And what is 'art' anyway? These people are really just people. And people like Bob Dylan make something more out of their lives which some other people will never bother to do. Dylan just likes to sing, and sadly because of how good he becomes at it, people never leave him alone and let him be.

This is a GOOD movie. Such a great portrait-painting kind of movie. I enjoy it much more than Walk The Line. I don't remember enjoying Walk The Line too much. It's a Hollywood drama based on Johnny Cash's life, but maybe they should have done it in a less fictional mode.
