Bob Dylan – Don't Look Back
Really well structured. As the tour continues we see Dylan lose his battle with the people and the journalists, culminating in dylan saying fuck it and deciding he doesnt mind.
Every scene feels so very iconic because they all are. The Donovan plot line is jokes but also can be read into; it seems the consensus is theres a rivalry there but i think Donovan remains one of the few in this film to get Dylans respect.
Loving that scene where a girl says she didn't like subterranean and you could see in his face he's had this conversation a million times. It feels illegal to get a look into his transformation from indie darling to mainstream ‘sellout’ to the greatest ever. Hard to believe the difference between the audience here and the audience a year later for the Manchester free trade performance.
Everyone in this is deciding whether or not to realise the greatness they are in the presence of, and how to act around him, and he just gets bored.
Baez has such a great voice!
