A Complete Unknown
Bop Dylan. This was seriously one of if not the best biopics I have ever seen. Like I went into not really knowing what to expect. I love Timothee more than air, so I thought hey if it sucks at least I get to watch him for a couple of years. I also am not the biggest fan of Bob Dylan, particularly of his personality and voice (sorry, preference thing). I've been getting into folk more lately so of course I've heard many of his songs and even though I'm not his biggest fan, I can at least admit that his lyrics are incredible. I am however a MAJOR fan of Joan Baez so knowing she was going to be featured heavily in this movie, I got really excited to at least hear her sing his songs. When I went to go see it, I seriously didn't know how much it'd affect me. Timothee is of course a brilliant actor, but the way he truly morphed into Bob while also having such a unique spin on the interpretation of him made me admire him even more which I didn't think was possible. Like I said before, I usually don't enjoy Bob's voice. For some reason though, Timmy singing as Bob made me enjoy listening to the songs which I was really impressed by to say the least. Having loved so many songs on the soundtrack prior and being actively being very into the genre and decade of which this all took place, I had the time of my life. Every song I got to sing along to, every outfit was something I wanted to own, it literally felt like I was experiencing that world alongside them, truly a powerful viewing experience. Besides Timmy, I thought every single actor killed it. Again, having loved many artists such as Joan Baez and Johnny Cash beforehand, I really thought they were portrayed so beautifully and with so much care and effort. I remember seeing Monica Barbaro was playing Joan, and I could've sworn I'd seen her in a show before. Turns out I was right and she played Yael (hot Rachel) in a show called UnReal which I thought was funny lol. Anyways, this movie seriously made me gain so much respect for biopics again after having gotten seriously burnt out with all the ones that have been produced lately. It even inspired me to watch the John Denver one which... didn't have the same great effect to say the least lol. Like it's fine, but unlike A Complete Unknown which made me like Bob more than I did going into it, it was almost like the people who made the John Denver biopic actively hated him. Like I seriously finished it thinking... I like John Denver, right? I think this movie is seriously amazing and so worth watching, one I for sure would love to watch again and again (I already have lol).
