Movie Reviews of Masked and Anonymous
Movie Review: the best whacked-out movie ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. I am also dumbfounded at many commercial reviewers who don't seem to get it at all. Bob Dylan & Larry Charles wrote the screenplay together - and created a powerful social commentary on where America could be headed. The primary cast is perfect, plus there are quite a number of short appearances by another group of actors with powerful little scenes.
The central theme is the state of government, the TV network, and a varied & diverse group of stressed individuals who are trying to make their way through a society that has crumbled into half-collapse.
Put Granny & the kids to bed, crank up the surround sound system, and let the movie take you on a wierd, creative, Dylan-esque song experience........on film.
"See the arrow on the doorpost, saying this land is condemned; all the way from New Orleans to Jerusalem."
Summary of Masked and Anonymous
In a fictional America caught up in a civil war that is tearing the nation apart, a benefit concert is being organized. A traveling troubadour named Jack Fate (Bob Dylan) is sprung from jail by his scheming former manager (John Goodman) to headline a concert with the expectations to bring peace to a country that is entrenched by chaos, lawlessness and pandemonium. Star-studded cast includes: Jeff Bridges, Penelope Cruz, Bob Dylan, John Goodman, Jessica Lange, Luke Wilson. Cameos by Mickey Rourke, Angela Basset, Giovanni Ribisi, Val Kilmer, Cheech Marin, Ed Harris and Bruce Dern.Masked and Anonymous is a mesmerizing experiment in surreal drama with lyrical content, a cinematic approximation of an epic Bob Dylan song on the order of "Desolation Row." Not coincidentally, Dylan is a co-writer and star of this 2003 film, playing an enigmatic folk-rocker named Jack Fate, a political prisoner in an unnamed, civil war-torn country. Set free to headline a benefit concert organized by an unscrupulous promoter (John Goodman) and television executive (Jessica Lange), Jack embarks on a fateful journey through a battle-scarred land. Taken literally, Masked and Anonymous proves bewildering, even exasperating, but as a feverish act of unrestrained political satire the film has a lot to offer, including some of the best recent performances by Goodman, Lange, Jeff Bridges (as a cynical journalist), Val Kilmer (a babbling prophet), Luke Wilson (a musician), and Giovanni Ribisi (a haunted soldier). Dylan himself proves a stiff cipher, but fun to watch. --Tom Keogh
