I find it interesting that a Bette Davis movie was presented in “A Complete Unknown” considering that Kerouac and Davis were both born in Lowell. Simon this is a good review of a very good movie. Cliff Whalen.
Fascinating indeed, Clifford. I don't think I even knew that Bette Davis was linked to Lowell, too. Is there a reference to one of her movies in the James Mangold production? Thank you also for your positive response to the review.
Shades of the Great Rock & Roll Swindle…nobody is perfect not even Dylan…the times they were a changing.. the nice Jewish boy from Minnesota has become a god…it’s a Grand Guignol with layers of brilliance and immortality…The alpha lion of the Pride will now be dissected by critics & pundits the leonine roar .. the poet must roam free .. the legend preserved by the scribes of poetry & cinema
Brian Hassets review of the screening in Toronto also superb .. entertaining.. thought provoking… like Kurosawa Rashomon it is a different view of the same story as everyone will review it via their own eyes
Great review! Thanks for some of the extra backstories. And thanks for / glad you didn't nitpick the storytelling. It was masterful. And echoes Bob's own proclivities and nature.

I just looked it up. The movie at the beginning of A Complete Unknown is Voyager (1942). It does star Bette Davis.
Splendid. Very much looking forward to seeing the film.
I’m with you Paul!
Loved the movie, however I really liked the details in the studio depicting Tom Wilson, Al Kooper, and Harvey Brooks
One thing that changed was the whistle he picked up on a street corner, when it was the drummer Sam Lay who Dylan heard messing around with it.
Not seen this pic yet but some neat details to look out for. Thank you.

That's an intriguing comparison, Jose, with the Pistols' most controversial big screen portrayal. Have you managed to see A Complete Unknown yet?
No I live in Cambodia but I’m willing.

Thanks, Brian, for your positive endorsement. I thought Steven Taylor would have an interesting way into his overview.
