âDonât give up. I mean, try your best. Youâve done something. Youâve actually created something on the screen thatâs there and you should be proud of that. Itâs physically there now the emotional part will eventually materialize. Cough it up, cough it up gang, cough it up. It actually exists. Which is important. Because pictures are important. Youâve actually tried, youâve tried very hard. And the trying shows. I want to thank you for trying. And I want to thank you for presenting this thing which evidently comes from deep inside your possible gut. And it has effected our soul in places we donât realize right now itâs going to take time to seep in, seep out. And um itâs itâs uh itâs really quite an attempt. Itâs been attempted and itâs, um, success is around the corner. Thank you. For that experience.â
Yes I know about the other one. Yes Iâve seen it and yes itâs better. For some reason though this movie moved me. I donât know anything about Bob Dylan. Never been a fan (donât like his voice) but what I appreciated about the film is the way they showed him constantly working. I havenât written anything in months. Iâve pushed it off, saying to myself âwhatâs the point, nobody wants this, nobody needs thisâ. Seeing him push ahead and not be bogged down by what people wanted from him was inspiring as hell to me. So many people tried to box him in and keep him from experimenting with his art, which to me is the death of an artist. Weâre meant to try. Thatâs all just try. Even if it will be a complete failure and laughed at, the act of trying is what makes art beautiful. I thought it was an ok movie. But seeing someone trying really hit me and me me realize that I need to make shit for me. Thatâs what Bob did.
a really weird movie. one of those movies where youâre thinking âthis movie is fucking weirdâ while watching, but youâre left with a good feeling when itâs over. what i took from it, considering myself a songwriter, is that you canât project onto artists or strive to be like them. everyoneâs got their own struggle, sometimes itâs secret. i love domhnal gleeson too, so that makes it even better.
The GOAT. Dress it up, up up, down, or down down. He looks incredible in every photo (and he's in on the joke when it's funny and he's in the biggest RRL jeans in history).
