yesterday, today and tomorrow, all in one room

The gimmick of six actors playing one character, I don't know, it really feels confusing and strange for the intersecting shots. Repeatedly, the six people have their own different lives, and the connection is very light, if there is no big theme.
In addition, since it is a biography, I feel that the director is not completely impartial, and the praise for Dylan is still reflected in the film, so I will not repeat it.
That part of Richard Gere's picture is really beautiful, when he jumps on the train of childhood again, dusts off the old guitar, and the green grass and trees in the distance, who cares what he has to say!
That part of Ben Whishaw is the main reason I watch this film, but unfortunately there are too few scenes, and the poet's madness is uninhibited, and there is little room for development.
As the queen of the masses, Kate played a cool boy, but in the second half, he was a little slack, and the flavor was only between the actions. Later, there were too many close-ups of the face, and the shadow of Dylan disappeared.
I don't want to say more about the other actors. They are musicians, and they are just fictional and exaggerated by filmmakers. Biopics, as they should be.

    Can't give a star although it's a movie with a lot of character but I have nothing like Dylan himself Can only say Her Majesty's performance is unparalleled

    This approach of using six different actors to play six different roles to express the mental state of the same character in different periods is quite novel; but the sense of form is so strong that it creates a sense of detachment
