A Complete Unknown

But that's because every story of success is the same. The fickle masses who claim to love you will inevitably turn on you and destroy you because that's just what people are. Rotten.
But apparently none of that ever happened to Bob Dylan, because this movie is nothing like that. This guy is just too aloof, smug, and pretentious to give a fuck about anything, or even notice where he is half the time. Timothy Chala-gay plays this guy from the 60s like he's a mindless zoomer who can't put a sentence together or interact with any other human without being a weird cunt.
If that's an accurate portrayal of Bob Dylan, then Bob Dylan sucks and i don't like him. So i guess this movie gets points for at least being different from others in it's genre. Because nothing happens in it. Bob Dylan shows up, is annoying, becomes instantly successful, and then fucks off on a motorcycle to go be more successful.
If there's any kind of interesting story to this man's life, it's not in this movie.
