We'll probably see it, though my wife's first impression of the trailer was that his singing didn't sound like Dylan. I didn't notice anything.

That may have been her pointHe sounds better than Dylan.
Still haven't watched, I must place it at/near top of viewing queue.
I've seen at least two music docs/biopics since this thread opened -- odd how stuff unfolds.
Here's the thing though, he doesn't. Don't get me wrong, Chalamet's portrayal and performances in this movie are very good. And Bob Dylan does not have what most people would call an exceptional singing voice. What he DOES convey is an angst within the notes that give the lyrics an authenticity. That's why the Dylan within the time frame of this movie is one of the greatest singer/songwriters ever.He sounds better than Dylan.

In part. It's a good thing younger people are too smart to be taken by these things.so its just a play to take olds money?
Not sure what you're saying here.There was nothing rugged about the way Chalemet plays and that's the difference imo.
I also thought his portayal was more like the mid-60s hotel/back stage footage/tapes type of behaviors that I don't think Dylan was always like especially early in his career.
I wasn't there (in Newport) but Dylan going electric is muy famoso--and was so long before this film. Conversely, I've never heard of Cash causing a disruption at Newport.though this film was good and all but my main take away was wondering if Johnny Cash played a bigger role in disrupting the Newport vibe with his 1964 performance.

Dylan wasn't really causing a disruption and didn't 'go electric' at Newport although I think it was the first time he'd performed that way in front of an audience.
He was playing what was on his recent albums. They tried to get him to play his 'old' stuff and somewhere in there he made it a point so they understood he was going to do what he wanted. He wasn't ever trying to lead some movement.
I'm not saying Cash was disruptive but he was more of the rugged outlaw type act that imo didn't seem to align with like the Pete Seegers of the world.

It's important to remember that history didn't necessarily go down like portrayed in the film. That's okay, and a matter of convenience in some instances.Not sure what you're saying here.

Great idea. However, no Neil Young, so not legit.We should have an offseason OT thread of best song writers. Seems like shortest offseason ever since NBA Finals in late June was still Cyclone mania and then football starts almost mid august.
I was thinking he'd probably be my #1 and Lennon/McCartney would be my #2...but that's TWO GUYS haha.
Others I like are Aimee Mann, Elvis Costello, Prince and Burt Bacharach.
