In 1963 I saw him perform at my college TSC and I was forever changed. Sixty years later and I am still affected by his words and music. Thank you Bobby.
I’ll be seeing it Dec 18. This is the year of Bob for me. Toured his home in Hibbing, stood on the porch of his home in Duluth. Toured The Dylan & Guthrie museums in 2022. He’s an American Icon & one of the greatest artists this country has ever produced.
If you were a teenager, living in the Boston suburbs around this time, you showed up every weekend in Harvard Square and paid a dollar at the Hasty Pudding Club of Harvard to hear the latest musical talent appealing to young people. We listened to Bob and Joan Baez, separately and together, and saw them hanging around the Square, being "real people," although they weren't as big as they would become later on. Still, we knew they were special, loved their music, and then went on to collect their albums, which we played and danced to at home, back in the suburbs of Newton and Brookline and Waltham and all the towns around Cambridge. It was a golden time, exciting, fun, nobody got hurt or s/abused or shot or robbed that we ever heard about. It was bustling and youth-centered, and everyone was a character in an ongoing story of "hip" folk-song days, in jeans and Frye boots and leather fringe jackets. The movie theaters, shops, restaurants and cafeterias and the Harvard Co-op with its dizzying array of every pencil, pen, notebook, envelopes, books, cameras, t-shirts declaring that you were a Harvard graduate (most of us weren't) were great hang-outs, and you saw lots of famous folk, rock, jazz and blues people coming and going. It was a magical time for teens.
Would have been the Club 47 located in an ally down one flight in Harvard Square. I got to see a lot of performers there who became icons of the folk scene. Too many to name but their music lives on and so do some of them. Tom Rush for one..
I did that in the 90's - going to Club Passim and Sanders Theater (Harvard), seeing Dar Williams, Ellis Paul, The Kennedy's, Lucy Kaplansky, John Gorka, Susan Werner - amazing times and a beautiful continuation of what Bob and Joan started in the 60's! The music lives on and the spirit expands.
I've been more 'wrought with anticipation' (what would Dylan make of THAT phraseology?) of this movie after watching the extended trailer, than of any movie in recent memory. Appreciated hearing your experience upon viewing..
hello from Perugia, Italy; we are proud that Bob spent a few days here in 1962 when his girlfriend Suzie Ruotolo was studying at the University of the city; some elderly former students remember her and him(unknow) staying for a few days in a guesthouse in the medieval centre; I won't fail to see this film by one of my favorite artists❤
I'm hooked. He's got Dylan's voice to a T and looks enough like him to pass. Can't believe no ones made a movie of his life before, but then his life IS a movie in it's own right. He's a one in every 500 years talent and his songs will live forever.
@@moodyb2 There’s been a few including I’m Not There with Cate Blanchett, as mentioned in comments here. What makes this film intriguing is its specific focus on early Greenwich Village years, rather than attempting a complete biopic?
It's so hard to do it is the reason, I think there should be 10 movies with 10 different actors portraying him :). And yes Cate Blanchett actually did an awesome 1966 Dylan lol. But he is a chameleon especially during that era. I was once again listening to Nashville Skyline and thinking, well maybe we'll have a biopic of this era someday . God bless the man and his music
Just saw the movie today. Brilliant film. It would be criminal if Timmy doesn’t get the Oscar. First time in many years the entire audience went into a roar of applause when the movie ended.
Watched Timothy's interview with Zayn Lowe, very informative, I am late 60s and don't go to the cinema very often, but I am looking forward to this, No lip syncing, all actors sing, Timothy Chalamet is so good as Bob.
i read the film reviews today and seeing this clip, i begin to understand why one critic wrote that in the film you got to see Dylan from other people's eyes. the first four minutes of this clip is an example of this. of course chalamet is portraying Dylan in a very immersive yet very technical way, but, the people around him also help to portray who he is. clever move to release this clip after the film reviews today. and the director said his job is to make a film that make audience forgot our own world and live in the film's world and i think from what i experienced from watching this clip, this film made it. can't wait to watch this film in theatre.
Virtually every biopic I've ever seen left me cold and unmoved, because they invariably try too hard to recreate the look and feel of their subject's life in a way that feels forced and unnatural, like a live action museum diorama, which works far better in a Ben Stiller comedy. They're exactly what you'd expect them to be, which ends up feeling flat, like a song cover that tries to be too faithful to the original version. Something about this seems different and more believable. I hope I'm right.
@@HabaneroTi You won't be disappointed! I have NOTHING whatsoever to do with 20th Century Fox (sorry!) or Disney, so I am not a studio spokesman in any shape or form, but I was won over by the style, the direction and the performances.This has been a crackerjack of an experience and a rarity in recent films. Hope you enjoy it...
@@TTLA69 Thanks, this is in line with my take on that brief clip. When biopics get the Hollywood treatment they end up mediocre at best, and often just plain awful. I'm glad to hear that this one managed to avoid that. Hopefully the upcoming Beatles one will also avoid such a treatment. They deserve better. They all deserve better.
Well they are making up porkies about Baez in this film because Baez did NOT write the lyrics to blowin in the wind (3 minute mark) and they never sang girl from north country live together
I think that one of the most difficult things an actor who everyone knows can do is to play another cultural figure, even bigger than them, that everyone knows. Kudos to Chalamet🙏
@ yes that is a blessing. The ones that have chosen to tune out popular culture. But most have at least been exposed to one of his many films with highly respected directors.
Imagine hearing Dylan for the first time at Gerde's Folk City, The Village Gate, The Bitter End or The Gaslight? I remember Greenwich Village in 1965, I wish I was old enough to see it in the 1950's but I was born in '50. The Village was so different from where I lived in Brooklyn, I was fascinated by it and the people there. There's a line in a Paul Simon song, Bleeker Street from the S&G album Wednesday Morning 3 AM, "$35 pays your rent on Bleeker Street", now monthly rent runs in the thousands. If the West Village was as much responsible for Bob Dylan as he was responsible for the West Village, don't expect to ever see that kind of symbiosis again! No longer can struggling artists afford to live in the Village, what has become of the area is a tragedy.
I’ve seen two clips which are totally made up - 1) biaz and Dylan never performed girl from north country together 2)biaz did NOT write the lyrics to blowin in the wind
@@williamshakespears9594 The scene confused me on that regard but when I thought about it I decided that may not have been the intent. Maybe it was more about his guitar playing.
I like the fact that he is not doing an impression. He kinda channels BD through his own looks and does a bit of voice but it's not caricatural so it doesn't come off as over the top. Kinda like what Phoenix did with Johnny Cash
Chalamet did a brilliant job in his portrayal of Dylan. My hope is that Chalamet will draw in the young viewers who will hear Dylans music and perhaps show them what great songwriting is all about. I'd love to see this create a huge thirst in the young resulting in a great tsunami of talented writing from up and coming artists.
I've seen this movie at a screening and this was one of my favorite scenes in the film. I can say it truly lives up to the hype and is one of the best experiences you'll have in the theater. Go see it opening day! 🙏
I have to admit this film really captures Dylan. Timothee has that look and the attitude. I have seen many docudramas but this is one of the best. Never would have seen the natural makeup of this transformation by Chalamet . Surprising like Loretta Lynn , Ray Charles has to be in that rarified air. So many giants in music have a special love of Dylan. Of course Bob himself always has his own take as usual.
Oh boy, gotta stay alive long enough to see this one, and get my 1926 Gibson L1 repaired too... Can't die just yet...God this makes me miss NYC so bad too... :(
Dylan's just one year older than me, I sort of grew up worshipping him, and have grown old with him. He's in my marrow, and I never tire of his music, early stuff especially. Just unbelievably good.
This could be a really interesting moment, with young fans of Timothee Chalamet seeing and hearing Bob Dylan at a point in time when we are really due another reset of popular music. I mean, it might not happen like I hope, but there are incredibly strong young musicians out there who could lead a new wave and break new ground... I know, I'm daydreaming again... but maybe. 🙏
Gives me chills to see the West Village streets and cafes that I visited so often. That whole 60s Village scene. They've done a pretty good job of it! First time I saw Dylan was at Gertie's Folk City, as a opening act for Lightnin' Hopkins. When he played with Joan Baez at Flushing Meadows nobody knew him or wanted to. He was booed off the stage. Everyone had come to see Joanie!
I saw early takes and rushes from this film, and much look forward to seeing the finished article in the new year. My initial take is that the director tried too hard not to sensationalise Dylan, but in so doing has satisfied musical purists like me much more than he will cinema buffs. The true gift of the film, the genius, is the acting and (at least to me) musical craftsmanship of Chalamet, surely a clear Oscar performance.
Christmas matinee for me and my partner. We enjoyed it immensely. The slice of time depicted of Bob's life in this film is simply amazing. Bob Dylan is one creative sole. Timothy Chalamet did a great job depicting the deeper and enigma puzzle, riddle, and the mystery of Mr. Bob Dylan. Behind an enigmatic smile are thoughts impossible to guess. We are all blessed to have Bob Dylan still creating for us today!
I'm tired of people like you asking for Oscars to the best impression. Acting is not only about speaking like someone else. Half of the Oscars to the best actor since 2000 were given to imitators. And honestly, it sucks, because there are people with more talent than just copying someones voice and mannerisms. Last year many like you were imploring the Oscar to Ana de Armas for Blonde, just by watching the trailer. And the movie was horrible.
@@Davidman3976 nothing to do with copying mannerisms. Everything to do with accuracy of retelling the story in what purports to be a biopic. Someone else has noted that the name change was at Dylan’s request which is odd in itself as anyone familiar with the real history knows who she was and her important role. Curiously, the very good depiction of Joan Baez did not attract a similar name change (but did get fictionalised as she did not “help” Dylan write Blowin’ In The Wind. But, like other music biopics it’s a mixture of fact and fantasy.
chalamet is quite a heart throb of today's young upcoming generation. oh to think that they will in due time discover a treasure trove of bobby's poem-songs and be touched in some way, courtesy of this movie.
Dylan wrote Blowin in the Wind before he took up with Baez. He also wrote Hard Rain before their relationship as well as all of of Freewheelin' as he was with Suze Rotolo. One song that blew her mind and probably helped her romantic feelings was " With God on Our Side". She said "I was bowled over. I never thought anything so powerful could come out of that little toad." I understand it makers it easier cinematically to use "Wind", a more well known, less scathing revisionist political song but it ain't historically accurate. Haven't seen the movie. Do they soft pedal Dylan's savage assault on America in two of his greatest albums? "Bringing It All Back Home" was an earthquake and "Highway 61 Revisited" is one of the most important albums in rock history.
@@JanetSmith900 Possibly but more likely they wanted to present Baez's genuine amazement at his talent with a more well known song that was associated with his breakout. Suze Rotolo's name was kept out of the film.
The start of this clip feels very familiar and genuine. I'm no Bob Dylan by a long shot, certainly at music, but early on I showed a natural facility for certain things that other people had to work really hard at, and I got quite a bit of resentment for it, as if one had to pay one's dues to be deserve to be good at something, which is of course ridiculous. If you're good you're good and all that's left is to work hard to be even better. Chalamet did a great job of capturing the kind of reaction that an untried, insecure but talented young man might have to being treated this way. I'm sure that it hurt, how could it not, but it probably also spurred him on to become one of the best and most important musicians of the second half of the 20th century. When someone tells you that you don't deserve what you naturally have, it either destroys you, or it motivates you to prove them wrong and avenge the slight. He got a lotta nerve. Positively.
Why are so many jumping to the conclusion that they are saying Joan wrote BINW? they are not, she picks his notes up and says "Play this one" for all the doubters I suggest watching Zayn Lowe's interview with Timothy about the film, very enlightening.
Just saw it today. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm old enough to remember that time. Chalamet did his own singing, but he actually has a better voice than BD.
This time period is when I was in high school. Do not underestimate the emotional reaction of this portrayal for people my age. Those times were wondrous but also difficult and it was just starting...
Holy moly talk about a bitter break up album!! So good~"look at the sun, sinking like a ship. Ain't it just like my heart babe, when you kissed my lips"
@@brendanryan8439they probably mean that most biopic movies and any movies or tv shows based on real people or real events are often false and untrue to what actually happened or what a person was like
My sentiments exactly. This is Dylan sanitized for those who can’t handle Dylan. I’ve been a Dylan fan for many decades, and I find this to be a bit cringeworthy.
Still can’t quite believe they finally cast Timothee Chalamet as a legendary 1960s music icon and it somehow ISN’T Syd Barrett, but I’m still pretty keen to see this. Should be an interesting companion piece to the Cohen Brothers’ “Inside Llewyn Davis”, set in exactly the same world in the same period, but where the arrival of Dylan (here a minor, peripheral character) in the New York folk clubs is the END of the story, rather than the beginning.
I've just finished the Dark Globe book on Syd Barrett and I could see the biopic in my head whilst reading. It's criminal Barrett hasn't had the biopic treatment, it could examine so much...
Bob touched a lot of people and never was a front man. His fame comes from his music. For me i was a critic and still am but i also realize something different was happening. This film is a good tribute for him and his fans.
I first heard Dylan’s songs sung by teenagers at a summer camp where my dad was a science instructor. This was around the same period as the film. I was about 6 years old and wanted to be a teenager so bad and wear my curly hair straight and wear white lipstick! The songs were very powerful even to a little girl.
What an eerie impression of Cate Blanchett. Not oly did he get her mannerisms, voice, and style spot on, his natural demeanor creates an even more effiminized Dylan than Cate did. Can't wait to see this guy in the Arnold Schwartzennager biography. He'll surely be able to bench 500 lbs as neatly as he can pinch out an authentically gravelly Dylan tone. Casting actors who've never eaten a real life punch, & who have the salt of 5th Avenue aesthete, is surely the best choice for screening the biographies of organically hardened historical artists.
I'm sure it's very good, but no way could I watch this without subtitles. This modern obsession with film-makers to make everyone mutter incoherently.... sorry, but I'm old enough to remember Dylan in his day, and he wasn't this incomprehensible.
Yes, this "mumbling style" was so exasperating in the recent Leonard Cohen series "So Long, Marianne." I got sick to death of turning the volume up every time "Leonard" spoke!! I agree - Bob wasn't that unclear!! 😮
Hey, our hearing was way better 60 years ago. Maybe we understood Dylan's speech readily back then. Now we have to watch everything with subtitles.Well, at least I do!
@@karenfiske696 There may be some truth there, but still, I don't think Dylan's speaking was as bad as this clip makes out. It is very much in line with the vogue these days amongst film-makers to have characters speak sotto-voce and mumbling, along with a kind of vocal fry. People didn't speak like that back in the 60s. (Our parents might have accused us of mumbling at times, but their comparison was with the clear and classic diction of earlier times - it was nothing like today!)
@@philuribe7863 Watch interviews from dylan from the 60s, this cadence and vocal inflection is definetely there and if you can't hear it i don't know what to tell you
First of all, i have heard lots of amateurs try to cover Dylan songs. the sentiment is good , but they can't . I appreciate so much the work here and the seemingly infinite work to find the actor and to have him learn Dylan's mannerisms and incredibly sing the songs. To tell and represent the Dylan story - Bob would say " man, do it in your own way - that's the only way that might represent truth ..." Well, these guys have not exactly done that, but there is a vision behind it and that vision is to put as much care and energy that they can. the force behind this movie is more than some Hollywood shlep ( only meaning someone who does not care very deeply about the material. ) i am mesmerized by the actor and his work. Dylan will forever be Dylan - i admit i relate to him and i understand that he has fought his own fight through this life. For me, being a freak - even if society lauds your particular role - is as difficult on either end. For me, Dylan was a freak - i suppose primarily in his facility in his chosen field. For people like this you eventually run out of words . I can say one thing about Dylan - he lived his life to escape any box people wanted to put him in. He was the guy we said " he cannot live past 30 ". How could he turn us upside down at 60 ? " Hey man, i am just an average guy ..."
“Blowin’ in the Wind” was written several months earlier than shown. This scene takes place in October 1962. In reality, he’d been playing the song at Village coffeehouses since at least April 1962. It was published in a May 1962 issue of Broadside, and a June 1962 issue of Sing Out! Dylan recorded it in July 1962. By October of that year, it wouldn’t have been new to Baez or anyone on the folk scene.
And at Club 47 in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Mass. Being a high school teen at that time was exhilarating. I find it funny that our Boston-suburban parents let us roam everywhere, and we were always smokin' - if you get my drift, - but nobody stood in the way of us having a blast every weekend with Bob and Joan.
At certain angles the actor pulls it off looking like a young Dylan. As for the voice, they could have chosen someone else or massaged the sound track some to recreate that special voice. I'll go and see the film just the same and soak in the history. I did though see the Rolling Thunder Review when it passed through Waterbury, CT in the mid-70's at the Capital theatre there. We had 5 th row seats for one of the most memorable concerts of my life. Distinctly remember seeing Ginsberg pacing up and down the isle for some reason before the show.
I am so looking forward to seeing this movie. No single writer has affected my life more than Dylan, and he still does. Chalamet looks, acts and sings just like him. He is amazing. I am curious about one thing in this clip, however. It looks as if Joan is handing Bob the lyrics to BITW as if she wrote them. Am I mis- viewing this? Or are we meant to understand that she is picking up one of his lyrical sheets. They cannot be suggesting that Joan wrote it, right? That would ruin it for me.
Man the way he looks at her while he's playing and she's talking to him is so on point. I feel like that's the look every guitarist makes when they're noodling and someone is trying to talk to them. You can ask my ex girlfriend's lmao
I'm hooked by the trailer and look forward to seeing the film. I could go on and on about Zimmy but it wouldn't do him justice. Suffice it to say he's one of my heroes going way back. Nobody but Jerry can touch him. Timothee looks to be very convincing indeed. "It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall" and it sure is!
I’d be interested in a story that explores a low point of Bobs life, when he was not popular. Or late in life such as when he produced Rough and Rowdy Ways in 2020. Or a film about a comeback period, such as Oh Mercy or even better the Trilogy in the 90s-00s. I’m excited for Gen Z to discover six decades of studio albums and bootlegs and such of Dylan’s music.
Sixties to seventies Dylan has been my favourite artist since I was twenty, I am now thirty years old. It is kind of annoying that it will take a popular young actor to get the fad followers of this generation to listen to and hopefully appreciate what most of them probably think of as 'old stuff' more lol. I expect to see plenty of new young hot American Idol-esque performances with fake emotion and theatrics performing Bob Dylan songs in the future! (Yes I'm very cynical but don't worry I don't go to parties) (It looks like Timothee has young Dylan nailed by the way, great casting, and this is the same director who made Walk the Line I believe, so it should be a more earthy and a less cartoony and overdramatic recreation of this period than what many music biopics tend to be these days)
Chalamet is doing a great job portraying Dylan, because I can barely understand a word he's saying.
Kkkkkkkkkkjjjjjkkkkk
I dunno about you I can understand him perfectly
Ha ha ha. I thought the same thing. I'll need subtitles.
9Ballr: haha great comment
Haha... that is Bob. Kinda like Ozzy. You can only understand him when he sings.
In 1963 I saw him perform at my college TSC and I was forever changed. Sixty years later and I am still affected by his words and music. Thank you Bobby.

I’ve seen two clips which are totally made up - 1) biaz and Dylan never performed girl from north country together 2)biaz did NOT write the lyrics to blowin in the wind
@@williamshakespears9594 Uhhhhh, it's a movie okay, not a documentary. Get. Over. It.
@@williamshakespears9594 The scene confused me on that regard but when I thought about it I decided that may not have been the intent. Maybe it was more about his guitar playing.
@@williamshakespears9594 Yeah, that's sure is a confusing scene.
I like the fact that he is not doing an impression. He kinda channels BD through his own looks and does a bit of voice but it's not caricatural so it doesn't come off as over the top. Kinda like what Phoenix did with Johnny Cash
Chalamet did a brilliant job in his portrayal of Dylan. My hope is that Chalamet will draw in the young viewers who will hear Dylans music and perhaps show them what great songwriting is all about. I'd love to see this create a huge thirst in the young resulting in a great tsunami of talented writing from up and coming artists.
Brilliant? Not.
@@jms5752 Eye of the beholder...
My daughter of 15 went to see it and now wants to borrow all my Dylan back catalogue, don't think I'll be getting them back
I've seen this movie at a screening and this was one of my favorite scenes in the film. I can say it truly lives up to the hype and is one of the best experiences you'll have in the theater. Go see it opening day! 🙏
I'm going to see it on my birthday... same day as his 😊🥰
Awesome to hear that! Can't wait to see it
Well you're lucky . God Bless
Thank you
ok bot
I have to admit this film really captures Dylan. Timothee has that look and the attitude. I have seen many docudramas but this is one of the best. Never would have seen the natural makeup of this transformation by Chalamet . Surprising like Loretta Lynn , Ray Charles has to be in that rarified air. So many giants in music have a special love of Dylan. Of course Bob himself always has his own take as usual.
Oh boy, gotta stay alive long enough to see this one, and get my 1926 Gibson L1 repaired too... Can't die just yet...God this makes me miss NYC so bad too... :(
Stay alive to watch! Beautiful period of history
West Village is an enclave of the rich now. Now what you may have grown up to.
Wow. I'm already a huge fan of his and even I can't believe how immersive this performance is my gosh.
Me too he is a great actor I can't wait to see it 😊❤
I'm 31 and my first concert was Bob Dylan when I was 17-it was so cool to be in the same room as him.
Breathing the same air... :) Songs today... don't even come close.
Dylan's just one year older than me, I sort of grew up worshipping him, and have grown old with him. He's in my marrow, and I never tire of his music, early stuff especially. Just unbelievably good.
Yours is the first comment I have seen which echoes what I feel. Bob Dylan is IN MY MARROW. There will never be another like him
This could be a really interesting moment, with young fans of Timothee Chalamet seeing and hearing Bob Dylan at a point in time when we are really due another reset of popular music. I mean, it might not happen like I hope, but there are incredibly strong young musicians out there who could lead a new wave and break new ground... I know, I'm daydreaming again... but maybe. 🙏
Bob was never shallow and would never date a woman like that fake Kardashian/Jenner woman.
One heck of a job taking on all of Bob's mannerisms.
Gives me chills to see the West Village streets and cafes that I visited so often. That whole 60s Village scene. They've done a pretty good job of it! First time I saw Dylan was at Gertie's Folk City, as a opening act for Lightnin' Hopkins. When he played with Joan Baez at Flushing Meadows nobody knew him or wanted to. He was booed off the stage. Everyone had come to see Joanie!
Nice to see Tim is actually playing the guitar.
He's very musical and also plays piano!
I saw early takes and rushes from this film, and much look forward to seeing the finished article in the new year. My initial take is that the director tried too hard not to sensationalise Dylan, but in so doing has satisfied musical purists like me much more than he will cinema buffs. The true gift of the film, the genius, is the acting and (at least to me) musical craftsmanship of Chalamet, surely a clear Oscar performance.
Where’s the story about the man? Seems like it’s just about “look at how much Timothy sounds like Bob Dylan”. It’s kind of embarrassing.
Christmas matinee for me and my partner. We enjoyed it immensely. The slice of time depicted of Bob's life in this film is simply amazing. Bob Dylan is one creative sole. Timothy Chalamet did a great job depicting the deeper and enigma puzzle, riddle, and the mystery of Mr. Bob Dylan. Behind an enigmatic smile are thoughts impossible to guess. We are all blessed to have Bob Dylan still creating for us today!
Both the portrayals of Bob Dylan & Joan Baez seem spot on. Give them the Oscars 🏆
But Bob’s key muse Suze Rotolo is represented by a made up character instead? Why?
I'm tired of people like you asking for Oscars to the best impression. Acting is not only about speaking like someone else. Half of the Oscars to the best actor since 2000 were given to imitators. And honestly, it sucks, because there are people with more talent than just copying someones voice and mannerisms.
Last year many like you were imploring the Oscar to Ana de Armas for Blonde, just by watching the trailer. And the movie was horrible.
Well This is so wrong biaz did NOT write blowin in the wind (3 minute mark) and they never sang girl from north country live together
@@Davidman3976 nothing to do with copying mannerisms. Everything to do with accuracy of retelling the story in what purports to be a biopic. Someone else has noted that the name change was at Dylan’s request which is odd in itself as anyone familiar with the real history knows who she was and her important role. Curiously, the very good depiction of Joan Baez did not attract a similar name change (but did get fictionalised as she did not “help” Dylan write Blowin’ In The Wind. But, like other music biopics it’s a mixture of fact and fantasy.
Nah...
chalamet is quite a heart throb of today's young upcoming generation. oh to think that they will in due time discover a treasure trove of bobby's poem-songs and be touched in some way, courtesy of this movie.
Dylan wrote Blowin in the Wind before he took up with Baez. He also wrote Hard Rain before their relationship as well as all of of Freewheelin' as he was with Suze Rotolo. One song that blew her mind and probably helped her romantic feelings was " With God on Our Side". She said "I was bowled over. I never thought anything so powerful could come out of that little toad."
I understand it makers it easier cinematically to use "Wind", a more well known, less scathing revisionist political song but it ain't historically accurate. Haven't seen the movie. Do they soft pedal Dylan's savage assault on America in two of his greatest albums? "Bringing It All Back Home" was an earthquake and "Highway 61 Revisited" is one of the most important albums in rock history.
Spot-on and well-said. Thanks for this. Even so, the movie might make good use of taking liberties with history. Hope so!
This film could be called a complete load of porkies
Uh,ok,good for you👏
Dylan requested that an inaccuracy be included in the movie. Maybe this is it.
@@JanetSmith900 Possibly but more likely they wanted to present Baez's genuine amazement at his talent with a more well known song that was associated with his breakout. Suze Rotolo's name was kept out of the film.
Loved the movie. Just saw it today . He did a great job. Everybody did! 👏👏
I'm glad people new to earth can experience this, it is a LONG time coming for the rest of us.
The start of this clip feels very familiar and genuine. I'm no Bob Dylan by a long shot, certainly at music, but early on I showed a natural facility for certain things that other people had to work really hard at, and I got quite a bit of resentment for it, as if one had to pay one's dues to be deserve to be good at something, which is of course ridiculous. If you're good you're good and all that's left is to work hard to be even better.
Chalamet did a great job of capturing the kind of reaction that an untried, insecure but talented young man might have to being treated this way. I'm sure that it hurt, how could it not, but it probably also spurred him on to become one of the best and most important musicians of the second half of the 20th century. When someone tells you that you don't deserve what you naturally have, it either destroys you, or it motivates you to prove them wrong and avenge the slight.
He got a lotta nerve. Positively.
Bring on the Oscars for this masterpiece.
Why are so many jumping to the conclusion that they are saying Joan wrote BINW? they are not, she picks his notes up and says "Play this one" for all the doubters I suggest watching Zayn Lowe's interview with Timothy about the film, very enlightening.
BINW? BITW? BUMPF? PFHT?

as a Minnesotan this is pretty damn cool my dad named my brother Dylan after him
As an aging boomer Malaysian, this is so happening! My friend’s grandson is named Dylan too, naturally after Bob.
give him the oscars 🏆
There's so much anticipation over this. It's looking (& sounding) good.
He takes me all the back to baby BOB ! The best poet and artist ever.
My daughter took me to see the movie I was suprised she is young she love it me too ❤
Just saw it today. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm old enough to remember that time. Chalamet did his own singing, but he actually has a better voice than BD.
Oooooh. I’m really, really, surprised how much he sounds like Dylan.
Never been a Dylan fan but gotta say I’m impressed by Timothy’s singing. Mangold is a fantastic director so might check this out.
This time period is when I was in high school. Do not underestimate the emotional reaction of this portrayal for people my age. Those times were wondrous but also difficult and it was just starting...
Yes!!! Bring a handkerchief. I cried through the first half of the movie. We were so young.
@@Orona-x6bme too!
Watching Timothee on Theo’s podcast was great!
Amazing how he luckily had the capo in the exact pitch of the song!
Glad to have lived through the world of Bob Dylan.
"The songs come quickly or they don't come at all" - Bob
Like his women.
My favorite, Tangled up in Blue. Oh yeah.
The sounds of my youth......too many years ago.
This, TC is worthy. He cant be underestimated as young actor anymore. GO TC!
This is an extremely plastic interpretation. I disagree.
I am having me a Vinyl Bobby Dylan Day...."🎵🎶 Blue Rooster crowing,
there must be something on his mind 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵"
Holy moly talk about a bitter break up album!! So good~"look at the sun, sinking like a ship. Ain't it just like my heart babe, when you kissed my lips"
The actress playing Joan Baez is fabulous she defects what she stand for❤
This movie is for people who've never heard of Bob Dylan.
We got I'm not there for the rest
What do you mean by that?
@@brendanryan8439they probably mean that most biopic movies and any movies or tv shows based on real people or real events are often false and untrue to what actually happened or what a person was like
My sentiments exactly. This is Dylan sanitized for those who can’t handle Dylan. I’ve been a Dylan fan for many decades, and I find this to be a bit cringeworthy.
A die hard Dylan fan here and looking forward to see this movie in its entirety
Minnesota stand up!! One of the greatest we got.
Still can’t quite believe they finally cast Timothee Chalamet as a legendary 1960s music icon and it somehow ISN’T Syd Barrett, but I’m still pretty keen to see this. Should be an interesting companion piece to the Cohen Brothers’ “Inside Llewyn Davis”, set in exactly the same world in the same period, but where the arrival of Dylan (here a minor, peripheral character) in the New York folk clubs is the END of the story, rather than the beginning.
I've just finished the Dark Globe book on Syd Barrett and I could see the biopic in my head whilst reading. It's criminal Barrett hasn't had the biopic treatment, it could examine so much...
He should do Syd next, absolutely.
Damn.. they nailed it. Tim doesn't look like Bob, but she is Joan. His voice is spot on, for the younger Dylan.
I can't wait to see this and I never go to the movies but I'm making an exception for a Dylan movie! America's last great poet!
I am actually looking forward too seeing this movie now that I've seen this sneak peak. Timothy nails it!
Monica Barbaro was also astounding in this movie, as was Edward Norton. I've only seen it once and have to see it again. Phenominal in my opinion.
Bob touched a lot of people and never was a front man. His fame comes from his music. For me i was a critic and still am but i also realize something different was happening. This film is a good tribute for him and his fans.
Lisan al gaib !
From one Messiah to another
This is my Wicked. I love a good biopic and James Mangold being behind it makes me more excited
Saw the film today. Oscar worthy.
Monica Bárbaro as Joan Baez is spot on;- mannerism, voice, body style, everything
I'm crying, imagining what it must have been like to hear that song for the first time in that era
That was us - me and my bff - at Club 47 in Harvard Square. BITW blew us away!
I first heard Dylan’s songs sung by teenagers at a summer camp where my dad was a science instructor. This was around the same period as the film. I was about 6 years old and wanted to be a teenager so bad and wear my curly hair straight and wear white lipstick! The songs were very powerful even to a little girl.
Shut up and take my money.
What an eerie impression of Cate Blanchett. Not oly did he get her mannerisms, voice, and style spot on, his natural demeanor creates an even more effiminized Dylan than Cate did. Can't wait to see this guy in the Arnold Schwartzennager biography. He'll surely be able to bench 500 lbs as neatly as he can pinch out an authentically gravelly Dylan tone.
Casting actors who've never eaten a real life punch, & who have the salt of 5th Avenue aesthete, is surely the best choice for screening the biographies of organically hardened historical artists.
i don't think of Dylan as a super-tough guy
@gregdahlen4375 He was gritty and hitchhikers and road tripped through a most tumultuous decade with salt in his veins
@@destinypirate Would you say Chalamet has some grit to have scrambled to the top in acting? To me it seems so.
@gregdahlen4375 being picked, liked this eras singers, is precisely due to not having grit - they choose puppets, not creative now
It it well-documented the Dylan ever "ate a punch" in real life? Genuinely curious.
Timothy is so realistic in interpreting Dylan that he's singing a little bit false in Blowing in the wind ❤❤❤😂😂😂!!
I'm sure it's very good, but no way could I watch this without subtitles. This modern obsession with film-makers to make everyone mutter incoherently.... sorry, but I'm old enough to remember Dylan in his day, and he wasn't this incomprehensible.
Yes, this "mumbling style" was so exasperating in the recent Leonard Cohen series "So Long, Marianne." I got sick to death of turning the volume up every time "Leonard" spoke!! I agree - Bob wasn't that unclear!! 😮
Hey, our hearing was way better 60 years ago. Maybe we understood Dylan's speech
readily back then. Now we have to watch everything with subtitles.Well, at least I do!
@@karenfiske696 There may be some truth there, but still, I don't think Dylan's speaking was as bad as this clip makes out. It is very much in line with the vogue these days amongst film-makers to have characters speak sotto-voce and mumbling, along with a kind of vocal fry. People didn't speak like that back in the 60s. (Our parents might have accused us of mumbling at times, but their comparison was with the clear and classic diction of earlier times - it was nothing like today!)
@@philuribe7863 Watch interviews from dylan from the 60s, this cadence and vocal inflection is definetely there and if you can't hear it i don't know what to tell you
@@individuox4895 I know what he sounded like. He was still more understandable than this fellow.
Wow, watching a young Dylan come alive like that is fairly remarkable.
“The Hair, The Harp , The Halo” 1967 Greatest Hits Album cover taken by Roland Sherman….Iconic
Love this story….watched trailer and started singing…. Timothy is just right to play Dylan!😊
Bob Dylan knew from the beginning his talent or genious, he then rode the wave of himself.
First of all, i have heard lots of amateurs try to cover Dylan songs. the sentiment is good , but they can't . I appreciate so much the work here and the seemingly infinite work to find the actor and to have him learn Dylan's mannerisms and incredibly sing the songs. To tell and represent the Dylan story - Bob would say " man, do it in your own way - that's the only way that might represent truth ..." Well, these guys have not exactly done that, but there is a vision behind it and that vision is to put as much care and energy that they can. the force behind this movie is more than some Hollywood shlep ( only meaning someone who does not care very deeply about the material. ) i am mesmerized by the actor and his work. Dylan will forever be Dylan - i admit i relate to him and i understand that he has fought his own fight through this life. For me, being a freak - even if society lauds your particular role - is as difficult on either end. For me, Dylan was a freak - i suppose primarily in his facility in his chosen field. For people like this you eventually run out of words . I can say one thing about Dylan - he lived his life to escape any box people wanted to put him in. He was the guy we said " he cannot live past 30 ". How could he turn us upside down at 60 ? " Hey man, i am just an average guy ..."
Looking forward to this one! Love his music 🎶❤️
“Blowin’ in the Wind” was written several months earlier than shown.
This scene takes place in October 1962. In reality, he’d been playing the song at Village coffeehouses since at least April 1962. It was published in a May 1962 issue of Broadside, and a June 1962 issue of Sing Out! Dylan recorded it in July 1962. By October of that year, it wouldn’t have been new to Baez or anyone on the folk scene.
"Play this one". She knew the song.
@@movieblues4614 No. She does not, in the movie she's hearing it for the first time.
And at Club 47 in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Mass. Being a high school teen at that time was exhilarating. I find it funny that our Boston-suburban parents let us roam everywhere, and we were always smokin' - if you get my drift, - but nobody stood in the way of us having a blast every weekend with Bob and Joan.
Great scene - perfectly acted and executed.
saw it today. very well done. good movie well acted.
At certain angles the actor pulls it off looking like a young Dylan. As for the voice, they could have chosen someone else or massaged the sound track some to recreate that special voice. I'll go and see the film just the same and soak in the history. I did though see the Rolling Thunder Review when it passed through Waterbury, CT in the mid-70's at the Capital theatre there. We had 5 th row seats for one of the most memorable concerts of my life. Distinctly remember seeing Ginsberg pacing up and down the isle for some reason before the show.
7:06 this is the most meaningful comment of the vid. This is how I learned about the most influential artists of all time.
Great film, everybody does a great job.
I am so looking forward to seeing this movie. No single writer has affected my life more than Dylan, and he still does. Chalamet looks, acts and sings just like him. He is amazing. I am curious about one thing in this clip, however. It looks as if Joan is handing Bob the lyrics to BITW as if she wrote them. Am I mis- viewing this? Or are we meant to understand that she is picking up one of his lyrical sheets. They cannot be suggesting that Joan wrote it, right? That would ruin it for me.
also, Bob wrote that way before Joan was in the picture. It was Suzie's time.
Man the way he looks at her while he's playing and she's talking to him is so on point. I feel like that's the look every guitarist makes when they're noodling and someone is trying to talk to them. You can ask my ex girlfriend's lmao
Where can I watch this?
I'm hooked by the trailer and look forward to seeing the film. I could go on and on about Zimmy but it wouldn't do him justice. Suffice it to say he's one of my heroes going way back. Nobody but Jerry can touch him. Timothee looks to be very convincing indeed. "It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall" and it sure is!
it just sounds like hes making fun of dylan's voice 😂😂😂😂 the man does not talk like that 😂😂😂😂
I’d be interested in a story that explores a low point of Bobs life, when he was not popular. Or late in life such as when he produced Rough and Rowdy Ways in 2020. Or a film about a comeback period, such as Oh Mercy or even better the Trilogy in the 90s-00s. I’m excited for Gen Z to discover six decades of studio albums and bootlegs and such of Dylan’s music.
The rolling thunder tour maybe.
I'm Not There does some of that, though in a strange way.
Great work on Joan’s voice. Really great.
Sixties to seventies Dylan has been my favourite artist since I was twenty, I am now thirty years old.
It is kind of annoying that it will take a popular young actor to get the fad followers of this generation to listen to and hopefully appreciate what most of them probably think of as 'old stuff' more lol.
I expect to see plenty of new young hot American Idol-esque performances with fake emotion and theatrics performing Bob Dylan songs in the future!
(Yes I'm very cynical but don't worry I don't go to parties)
(It looks like Timothee has young Dylan nailed by the way, great casting, and this is the same director who made Walk the Line I believe, so it should be a more earthy and a less cartoony and overdramatic recreation of this period than what many music biopics tend to be these days)
Looking forward to this movie about Bob Dylan Complete Unknown. Love from Adam. I really appreciate his great music.
