Movie Reviews of Masked and Anonymous
Movie Review: Look at it all in perspective.
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was growing up, Dylan was one of the best there was. He is still one of the best, only he is more in the back ground and people do not recognize him as much as they did. His music has always had a message and was not just some bubble gum popping stuff. It is nice to see that he is still around and where he is at at this point in his life. He is a lot better singer than he is actor, but that is because you can tell, he has spent a lot of his life on the stage singing. But it does not look like he has done much acting in comparison. Still, this movie gives us a little bit of insight into who he is and what he is all about. It is a little bit hard to follow, but there is a commentary to help you to figure it out. Or at least so you know what they were thinking, when they produced it.Movie Review: I'd throw the drowning man a life preserver....
Summary: 5 Stars
Just finished watching this DVD. I'm still trying to figure out what I saw.... I guess I'll have to watch it again with the director's commentary set on. It's a little confusing but I gave it 5 stars. Why? I wasn't sure myself, I just knew I loved it being a huge Dylan fan. Read the other reviews here and realized why... as some others have mentioned. Director Larry Charles has done a superb job in filming the musical scenes. The camerawork creates a small intimate cafe feel. His band is outstanding and Bob is in his natural setting when he is performing. The cast of Goodman, Bridges, Cruz, Lange, & Wilson deliver fine performances. If you aren't a Dylan fan you may not like this movie, but then, you wouldn't be reading reviews of Masked & Anonymous, would you?Movie Review: Wow
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this with lowered expectations. The bits I've seen of Ranaldo & Clara didn't really grab me. But after watching this twice, I'm still stunned and weirdly delighted. As surrealistic as his prime "Desolation Row" lyrics all fleshed out by some great actors. The use of language is thrilling and poetically eloquent. Yeah, people don't talk like this in "real life", and this is archly artful and self consciosly poetic in ways that will make some cringe. But Bob's fire and flinty vision pulses through this film with the same vitality as his best songs. And the music is worth the price of admission on it's own. I hope he makes 20 more films with Mr. Charles. The wide world needs more perfectly dream logical fractured visions like this.Movie Review: What do you mean- you don't "get it"?
Summary: 5 Stars
One ticket- $6.50, One pop-corn- $4.75, One Coke- $4.00. Being the only person in the only theatre in town to run the movie... PRICELESS! People who don't get this film are likely the same ones who don't get his music. And that includes those who booed him when he went electric, laughed when he went country, scoffed when he went gospel, cried when he went un-gospel, booed when he went unplugged... Get it?I loved the whole thing. Great soundtrack. Great cast. (Val Kilmer is hilarious). I don't claim to understand everything about it, I can't even understand him when he sings songs I've known for 40 years! If you missed it in the theatre, the DVD is out...GET IT!
Movie Review: Weird but extremely entertaining!
Summary: 5 Stars
Dylan, and his character Jack Fate, are just incredibly compelling. His Bobness is an extremely strange human being, as we all know by his music, but to see the man walk and talk and interact with other people (actors) is nothing short of surreal. The movie moves like a dream. It is by no means all neat and tidey.It requires you to suspend preconceptions and needs to be seen repeatedly (and even then its up in the air). And then there's the musical performances. Worth the price of the dvd alone. Dylan and His Band rock in a way here before unseen in any movie ever (period).
