I'm Not There - Bob Dylan Revisited


Excuse my silence these last days, I've been a little bit lazy but that doesn't mean that I was staying at home doing nothing. For example, I had the chance to discover the music of Ryan Bingham one evening in one of the oldest Paris's Irish pub. I also bought - in a shop not on the web - the last Radiohead, In Rainbows. I'll try to come back later next days on those two discoveries.
To start this New Year, I want to write a little report about this amazing movie called
I'm Not There (2007). I’m sure that you read a lot about it or already seen it, I hope. My opinion is that this movie directed by Todd Haynes is not a film about Bob Dylan like everyone seems to think. Dylan is never on the screen. His name never mentioned. He’s nowhere. He’s not there. See Cat Blanchett for example, she’s not him, she’s just Jude. Jude who? Hey, Jude? Judas? I don’t believe her, she’s a liar…
Seriously, I'm Not There is a nostalgic carnival, a black and white puzzle with colors, a subtle kaleidoscope of words and faces. Also a game: where, when and who. History revisited. The perfect counterpoint to Martin Scorsese’s
No Direction Home: Bob Dylan. Great job Mister Haynes and Miss Blanchett you’re unbelievable!

Hmm... I saw that film. I thought it stank. It does say at the beginning "Based on the work and life of Bob Dylan". Nevertheless, if it's not about Bob Dylan, why are so many of the events lifted directly from his life? And if it is, why have so many things been made up? It's misleading: people who don't know anything about Bob Dylan are going to think a bunch of things happened that actually didn't.

I really didn't see the point. Haymes should have made his mind up about what sort of film he wanted to make.

Just my opinion.

I respectfulyl disagree with the person who commented previously. I LOVED this film and it seems you did, too. So I wanted to introduce you to my new novel called, BLOOD ON THE TRACKS, which I think you're going to enjoy.

It's a murder-mystery. But not just any rock superstar is knocking on heaven's door. The murdered rock legend is none other than Bob Dorian, an enigmatic, obtuse, inscrutable, well, you get the picture...

Suspects? Tons of them. The only problem is they're all characters in Bob's songs.

You can get a copy on Amazon.com or go "behind the tracks" at www.bloodonthetracksnovel.com to learn more about the book.
