    Having grown up in that era and being a Dylan fan for over 50 years I have to commend you for doing a great job with this video. Even though the movie combined some personalities and events to capture the essence of Dylan and the times I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for your research and hard work in producing this video.

    This was a great overview and very enjoyable. There are many outstanding books that chronicle Dylan's early years and transformations. My favorite is Elijah Walds "Dylan Goes Electric!: Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night That Split the Sixties" This was the basis for the bio-pic. At 72yo, these albums especially those from 64-66, are the fabric of my youth and it is unlikely that his creative poetry and verse will ever be equaled. Happy to have been there.

    Great biography of that era. I was 15 years old and a huge Beatles fan (being English) when I first heard Bob Dylan in 1963 and for the rest of my life those two performers have been my favourites. There’s no doubt in my mind that Bob’s writing had genius status.

    Thank you for this interesting condensed retrospective on Bob Dylan. I grew up listening to him and highly value his songwriting. I love the earlier Dylan albums, but a few years ago I listened and downloaded his album Time Out of Mind, released in 1997, which just blew me away!
    I just saw the biopic A Complete Unknown last night. Timothy Chalamet was very convincing as Dylan and I was impressed with his performance. He insisted on singing live as he was being filmed which gave it a quality of authenticity. I highly recommend it.

    There was also a great jazz scene in the village at the time. The village was also the birthplace of American punk at CBGBs.

    Congrats! You nailed it, very well processed ! I’m feel so happy some people gets him in a way I also see him :) I wish more people can have this reading of his trajectory.
    I feel like he change topics as he perceived though people expected him to make protest songs, he needed to protest in another form

The last time I saw a bio pic of a rock star was about Jim Morrison and the Doors with Val Kilmer I took my wife who walked out and waited in the lobby I saw parents bring their 6 year old Johnny to see this movie and he wanted to see Home Alone and cried through the Morrison movie
