Movie Recomendation:

I took my 76-year-old Mother today to go see " A complete unknown" the story of the early musical career of Bob Dylan.

What an excellent MOVIE!! I was doing some serious toe tapping! The music and the story were interesting and done well!

If you are a fan of Bob Dylan, I urge you to go see this movie! You won't regret it!

How did she like the Movie?

Dylan is a treasure. What Hendrix did to Dylan’s All Along the Watchtower was epic.

Thanks for the heads up.

Bob Dylan is 83.

My mother loves and LOVED Joan Baez. And of course, she is a big Bob Dylan fan. The movie was right up her alley, the music and the story itself.

I love Bob Dylan myself but was completely unaware of the drama and the story of his change from Folk singer to electric and the brouhaha it caused. I'm 57 and enjoyed the movie quite a bit.

Awesome!

Thanks for the feedback. I've been wondering about going. I'm 67 and I grew up on Bob Dylan.

I just cannot seem to find the time much anymore. I literally have not seen a movie in a theatre in YEARS!

When my mother mentioned she really wanted to see this movie, I relented and decided to take her on a "date". I am SO glad I went and watched it! It really is an excellent movie. You should definitely see it!

I was unaware of all that folk/rock drama as well. Excellent acting, and of course all the music was a treat. I thought it was very well done.

Because rock bio-pics are legally required to include a scene in which the film’s rock god smashes his guitar in his dressing room to express his frustrated, tortured genius.



Oliver Stone’s The Doors does not have such a scene, but this was excused because Val Kilmer’s Jim Morrison smashes almost everything else in the movie.
