You kids are funny. Dylan was a god when I was teenager. I knew his music, played his songs, worshipped his persona. Chalamet was outstanding. Really incredible. This segment of Dylan's life was the pivotal time from obscurity to stardom. He left Hibbing Robert Zimmerman and went to NY and became Bob Dylan. You can find some great documentaries about his life if you are curious.
Martin Scorsese's documentary No Direction Home is a pretty good one on Dylan's initial rise to stardom and how he handled the quick fame and the whole conflict with the folk movement and more impirtantly the journalists...
The Newport electric performance is considered the first performance of what we know as rock music. This is before the Beatles or Stones really did it. It was as extremely controversial and changed everything regarding the idea of what performing could be. It was no longer just show business, but something else entirely.
By the way, this was actually a pre Boomer event. This was mostly the Silent Generation at this time. I’m a Millennial and I’ve been hearing and reading about this performance since I was in high school. Comparing this event to Brittany Spears is like comparing the moon landing to the new air fryer craze.
tf are you talking about? The Beatles were playing electric rock music in 1960. Hell, Dylan was at one of Buddy Holly’s last concerts in 1959, where he played a Strat with an electric rock band. Dylan was just the first guy to do it at a Folk festival. It’s still awesome, but he didn’t invent it.
@@orangelazarus91 he did invent a new genre here. The Beatles changed their music after this. Read the book White Bicycles if you want to understand this time period better.
Nobody knows who Dylan really is? I don’t think Dylan really knows who he really is anymore. Dylan was a rebel is a rebel it was the time in music history in America’s History of civil rights women’s rights Anti war his generation wanted him to be the voice of his generation he rejected it! He wanted to be an enigma he never wanted anyone to know the real him maybe he doesn’t even know it’s his thing Pete Seeger was exactly as in the movie Joan Baez has said Dylan was the love of her life Dylan has since apologized publicly they way her treated Joanie Chalamet get no respect he deserves to be nominated better be 🤞🏻
Why was the final concert a big deal? Folk music is "supposed" to have a very specific aesthetic and style to the purists. It's no different than an indie artist signing to a major label and then making their sound more commercial and less experimental. They are immediately accused of "selling out" THAT was the Newport festival. I'll watch the movie next week to judge for myself, but I find it odd how some of these reviews are like "was it really a big deal?" Yeah, it absolutely was. It's like your favorite auteur director signing up to do an MCU movie.
No, unfortunately I didn't have the bandwidth. I'll do the GG winners though and other award shows. The twins outdid themselves for sure. They were off the rails even more than usually. I laughed MANY times.
For Christ sakes. Just enjoy that the movie is, not what you’d like it to be. I’m a Dylan fanatic, and I know quite a lot about him. And I was very pleased
You two seem like nice people. You should do a little research about Dylan. Martin Scorsese did a very good documentary about him. Learn a little more about that time and place and that era of his life then watch the movie again. When Dylan picked up an electric guitar and played to that crowd...lets just say that moment had legs. Long legs. Legs that traveled all the way to England and back, then onto California. Also look up the word enigma in the dictionary, you'll see the words Bob Dylan. Also, it's rather disconcerting to hear younger people confess they don't know much about a subject, in this case Dylan. Then assume what they are watching is manufactured, and wasn't really that big a deal, or never happened. Those Folk people got stung by the sound of that electric guitar. Then and there they decided Dylan wasn't the rock their church was based on simply due to an amp and an electric guitar. It never crossed their minds that a relevant, important message was possible if the messenger lets say, spoke loudly. There were definite lines drawn in the sand back then, and you dare not cross it, lest you feel the wrath of the banjo. It's perfectly fine to go see a movie without knowing much about the subject. To watch it eyes wide open. But before you publicly talk about it, do some research. That way you can speak about it with some degree of knowledge. In this case it's quite easy, or easier because the story only covers a very brief few years of his life.
I enjoyed your review, but I disagree your opinion that it needed a backstory. It’s focusing on a small , distinct period of Dylan’s life: A period where Dylan was consciously vague. And by the way having a cigarette in your hand: not cool. Smoking it and blowing secondhand smoke into the face of a person sitting next to you is even more uncool.
Thanks Michael! The cigarette was an homage to the amount of times Dylan smoked in the film. I'm pretty sure you noticed the cigarette was never lit, so no secondhand smoke was blown. It's not even a real cigarette. Thanks for watching!
Fair. So I’ll say, a perfectly acceptable movie with a more than acceptable performance anchoring it bumped it to a 7. I saw Juror #2 the other day for example. That was a 6. Perfectly acceptable movie with just an acceptable leading performance. Cheers!

As someone who lived through that period and remembers it well I would give it an 11. Sorry you missed that decade.

Love your reviews 💛💛 The vibe around you is very cool, both of you very nice.. watching from Northeast India..
So cool! देखने के लिए धन्यवाद!!
@RyanCasselman Oh Wow 😳 ❤️♥️😭
Manigold is not indie. Dylan is an eminga. We dont know anything about Dylan at age 83. We never known him.

Chalamet get no respect he deserves to be nominated better be 🤞🏻
Yes. All of the singing was Chalamet. Live.

Fyi..Elle Fanning won Supporting Actress with the National Board of Review
If you were more familiar with Dylan’s music, you would have known that it was never him singing in the movie
Good female of the reviewers said” you never can tell if it’s Dylan or Chalamet singing. “Yeah you can.
Hey buddy you doing a GG noms reaction? Bet it ain't gonna be as over the top as the Twins though.
No, unfortunately I didn't have the bandwidth. I'll do the GG winners though and other award shows. The twins outdid themselves for sure. They were off the rails even more than usually. I laughed MANY times.
@@RyanCasselman Alright! Thanks for replying! Looking forward to future videos! Cheers from Spain 😘

… going out of your way to “publicly shame” someone for something they clearly didn’t do: Most Uncool
its pronounced BUY-o pic/ like autobiography. NOT BUY-OP-PIC
I got comments in my last video saying it was 'Buy-Ah-Pic'. I don't care. I'm saying Bye-O-Pick from now on.
@RyanCasselman😂🤣🤣
I'm unsubscribe if you don't review Nosferatu
Hi unsubscribe
A “perfectly acceptable movie” is a 6 not a 7

A solo review from ryan the next time would be very much needed
I don’t like this review. You miss the forest for the trees.
