“A Full Unknown” is the uncommon Hollywood film that has impressed a reckoning. All over the place, on social media, in mainstream media, or just on the a part of so many who’ve seen the movie, a tingling dialog is happening — a form of collective meditation/investigation into who Bob Dylan was, who he’s, what he meant again then and what he means now. What’s placing is that little or no of that is Dylan nostalgia — i.e., the boomers getting misty-eyed with self-importance about “their” beloved icon. And if that’s what it was, it might be lame. (Nobody would hate it greater than Dylan.)

The Dylan dialog that’s been ignited may be very current tense and alive, and really exploratory. It’s concerning the film, nevertheless it’s larger than the film. It’s about everybody who has seen “A Full Unknown,” or everybody who merely grew up with Dylan, trying anew on the query: What was it about him? What‘s his magic, his maintain on us?

The explanation that’s a query we’re nonetheless wrapping our heads round is that the reply continues to be mysterious. In case you speak concerning the Beatles or the Stones (who, together with Dylan, make up the holy triumvirate of the ’60s Music Gods Who Modified Every thing), their majesty is infinite, but in an apparent manner we will all really feel what it was about. The Beatles did nothing lower than recolor the world’s DNA; we hardly must have them defined. The Stones, for many years, have been known as “the best rock ‘n’ roll band on this planet,” and that form of stated it.

However Bob Dylan, from the second he got here up, in 1961, had infinite labels hooked up to him — protest singer, people musician who “went electrical” — that in some way fail to explain him and his place within the universe. It’s not that the labels are inaccurate. He did begin off as a protest singer; he did go electrical, and that was a game-changing, world-shifting second. However none of that, in an odd manner, describes what’s transcendent about Dylan. And what I like about “A Full Unknown” — and what I feel the film has, in a manner, virtually been undervalued in doing — is that it channels the magic of Dylan far past these pesky labels. It exhibits you that what was lovely about him was one thing that may’t be put into phrases.

Many have famous that Dylan, as Timothée Chalamet performs him, is an deliberately mysterious and obscure determine, who speaks in tossed-off epigrams and ornery cryptic asides. He’s not about to let that factor referred to as dialog pin him down. When Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro), who has grow to be romantically concerned with him, says, “You’re form of an asshole, Bob,” that’s the dimension of him she’s referring to — that along with competitively dismissing her, he’ll make up stuff about his previous (like saying that he joined the circus) and refuse to cop to it, not permitting even his lover to pin down who he’s. In “A Full Unknown,” the Dylan we see is the unique too-cool-for-school indie-rock jerk. You’d higher consider that Lou Reed — probably the most notorious asshole within the historical past of rock ‘n’ roll — copped big dollops of that angle from Dylan, together with the essence of Dylan’s swaying-back-and-forth talk-singing type.

But if Chalamet’s Dylan have been merely a hooded determine who saved his ideas underneath wraps, it may appear that he was doing all of it for impact. Sure, he is form of an asshole, however what redeems that’s that he doesn’t simply come off as a gnomic enigma to the folks round him. He’s additionally a thriller to himself — an artist who channels what’s occurring round him however doesn’t actually need to clarify it, even to himself. That may kill the thriller. When Bob, within the film, talks about what Woody Guthrie meant to him, the purpose is that Guthrie’s people music touched this child from Minnesota on a stage past phrases and past rationalization. What he heard in that music, and took from it, was primal: not “protest” however one thing richer and deeper and extra timeless. A template of religion.   

And this ties into how we expertise Dylan’s songs within the film: as emanations of a spirit that render him not only a nice singer-songwriter however a drive, a cosmic messenger. The message of his music is religion. That’s why his impulse to go electrical is an act that the folkies, led by Pete Seeger (Edward Norton), don’t perceive. It’s not simply that they like acoustic devices. They consider in concepts: the combat for social justice. Dylan does…and doesn’t. He believes in one thing extra private and un-sayable: the flexibility of a music to usher you right into a state of reverence, to carry you into the heavens.

One purpose why the Dylan reckoning happening now could be transferring to me is that it mirrors my very own journey with Dylan. For too a few years, every part I knew about him, and realized about him, bought in the way in which of my capability to actually hear him. Rising up within the ’70s, I had a lot of his information and listened dutifully to them, however I in some way at all times felt like I used to be lacking one thing. Merely put, I couldn’t grasp many of the lyrics, and that made me really feel like I used to be a C scholar in Dylanology. What did these torrents of phrases imply? I acknowledged that the “protest singer” label was one which he’d grown previous in just a few years. However what he’d by no means grown previous was how the boomers lionized him as a “poet.” I’ve by no means a lot cared for poetry; it doesn’t converse to me. And I felt like most of Dylan’s poetry sailed over my head.

It wasn’t till I used to be in my thirties that I started to actually hear Dylan, and to confront the good paradox about him: that his lyrics, a lot of the time, don’t matter all that a lot. I imply, they do and so they don’t. My favourite Dylan album is “Blood on the Tracks,” and there have been many days after I assume the best Dylan music is “Tangled Up in Blue.” I’ve listened to it 1,000 instances. However I don’t perceive 90 p.c of the lyrics. It’s a music that, maybe, displays the journey from innocence to the counterculture to the world past it, that charts the journey of his marriage to Sara Lownds, but it’s additionally about none of these issues. The music is concerning the feeling of it, of seeing the life you’ve lived become visible even because it recedes like a misplaced freeway. And that’s proper there within the sound of it.

What I bought extra in contact with as I bought older is that Bob Dylan’s genius is all about sound. The hushed lilt of his voice on “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” The ecstasy of the harmonica solo in “Completely Candy Marie.” The way in which he doesn’t simply sing a lyric — he seesaws it, and brays and caresses it, and deposits it proper into your soul, even while you don’t know what it means. And when he went electrical, he achieved a sound — singular within the historical past of rock — that was candy and livid on the similar time. He lifted you up not the way in which Woody Guthrie did however the way in which J.S. Bach did. Regardless of the subject occurred to be, Dylan was singing non secular music. A tough rain was gonna fall, however the miracle was that Dylan had captured that rain and made the reality of it lovely.       

Music is sound, and what Chalamet captures, together with his extraordinary lived-in impersonation of Dylan, is how Dylan used the sound of his voice, and the glittering percussive majesty of his guitar taking part in, and the thriller of his phrases as a option to contact the uncanny, to carve out, in music after music, a privileged five-minute area within the universe, and to ask us to pour our feelings into that area. “A Full Unknown” isn’t the best rock biopic (that will be “Sid and Nancy”), nevertheless it brings off one thing singular inside the world of rock biopics. It lights up the holy area that Dylan created, permitting you to see it and listen to it and contact it and reside inside it, till you notice it’s life that’s electrical.

“The band was off taking part in ping pong or playing cards after which within the morning he’d name them in and so they’d reduce a masterpiece. My reminiscence is getting actually crappy. After I attempt to consider the names of particular person songs, I can’t, however once I consider the entire thing it was like being allowed to look at Michelangelo work. I acquired to satisfy his spouse and children and so they had been pleasant, however I by no means spoke to Bob. I used to be too scared. I met him later via Johnny Money as a result of they had been actually shut. That was an actual assembly of the giants.”

Mavis Staples

To advertise a tour celebrating her seventy fifth birthday in 2014, the gospel singer shared a shocking perception into her relationship with a sure curly-haired cutie: 

“Bob Dylan and I turned very shut. He was just a bit folks singer after we first met, a median child, however he knew The Staples Singers. He requested me to marry him however I advised him I wasn’t sufficiently old. Neither of my sisters was married so I couldn’t bounce the gun. I did like Bobby, he was actual cute along with his curly hair. I admired him a lot for his writing. I assumed he was a genius.”

Jakob Dylan 

A singer-songwriter in his personal proper, Jakob was Dylan’s fourth youngster with Sara Lownds. In 2020 to advertise his documentary Echo within the Canyon he spoke to Massive Concern, not about his father particularly however concerning the music revolution of the Nineteen Sixties: 

“That is the appearance of poetry in music, which makes issues limitless. You don’t need to make sense, you don’t need to have an agenda, you might simply categorical regardless of the hell you needed to. These songs require you as a listener to take part, they require you to concentrate – or not listen, simply be hypnotised by the phrases. However it’s a must to take part.” 

He went on to say {that a} music revolution doesn’t essentially end in any real-world change… 

“I’ve by no means actually seen music change society in any sort of impactful approach. It has the phantasm of doing so. And I feel the phantasm is sufficient to preserve you at it. Typically music is simply there to entertain individuals and allow them to really feel higher for 3 and a half minutes. The social affect of this music, how actual was it anyway? What change did it actually convey upon individuals? I didn’t stay in that point, I’m all the time cautious and just a little bit cautious of these scenes and actions.” 

Giovanni Ribisi 

Actor and director Ribisi could also be finest often called Phoebe’s brother in Buddies. However he additionally starred within the 2003 opus Masked and Nameless, written by and starring Bob Dylan. He advised us concerning the expertise a number of years later: 

“Oh man. I’d heard there was one other individual he’d finished a film with on a special movie who was actually excited and did the film to have the ability to work with him. And the primary day they began taking pictures he exhibits up and he launches right into a dialog with Bob, and Bob turned to him and stated, ‘I don’t want any extra man buddies.’ So I heard this story which was considerably intimidating for me, so I feel, ‘I’m simply going to go there and preserve to myself and do the most effective job I can do.’ And I did. However it was pleasing, this voyeuristic factor. We shared a trailer with two rooms. I used to be in a single and he was within the different. He had his guitar and he was taking part in music in there and I might put my ear up towards the wall. He doesn’t learn about that, I don’t even assume he would keep in mind me. However that was particular for me.”

Robbie Robertson 

When Bob Dylan brought about controversy by going electrical, The Band was behind him with Robertson on lead guitar, as he recalled three years earlier than his loss of life in 2023: 

“Bob Dylan heard us and requested us to return and hook up with him. And that was being a part of a musical revolution. I used to be making music that was the voice of a era. Taking part in these electrical exhibits with Bob Dylan within the 60s, I did assume on the time I’d by no means heard of anyone doing this type of factor earlier than. Somebody on the dimensions that he was – the king of folks music, the voice, the man that would write songs that brought about armies to affix collectively – all of the sudden altering every thing and stepping into a special route. And the way in which that individuals reacted; we acquired booed everywhere in the world. And whereas it was taking place, a part of it you might snicker at, and a part of it you might cry. However for us, it was about saying, ‘You realize what? This music we’re making, it’s actually good.’ And we didn’t change, the world modified. The world got here spherical to us.” 

Bruce Hornsby

Hornsby seems on Dylan’s 1990 album Beneath the Purple Sky. A few years in the past he advised us how that got here to be simply the way in which it’s: 

“I didn’t wish to be tardy to the session. Dylan walks in and he introduces himself to everybody. Then takes a bunch of paper out of assorted pockets, places all these items of paper with numerous bits of lyrics written on them on a desk. It’s proper in entrance of the place his mic is positioned. He came visiting to me and stated, ‘Hey Bruce, come right here, let me educate you a tune.’ He taught it to me [Born in Time] and I taught it to the remainder of the band. We performed that a number of instances, then took just a little break. The good drummer Kenny Aronoff began taking part in, then Robben Ford, Randy Jackson and I began jamming alongside. Then Bob is available in. He’s standing there, nodding his head listening to us. He goes to the desk, seems to be on the items of paper, picks one, walks to the microphone and begins singing. And that turned TV Talkin’ Tune. Absolute spontaneity.”

Peggy Seeger 

Edward Norton performs Pete Seeger in A Full Unknown. His real-life half-sister Peggy remembered what the people world was like earlier than Dylan arrived on the scene in an interview in 2019: 

“Joan Baez got here for my autograph in 1961, on the Newport [Folk] Competition. We’ve by no means had a correct dialog however I’d have cherished to. I’d love to do a live performance together with her however she’s too excessive up for me. She’s the people goddess of America. Dylan needed our autograph too, in Minnesota, when he was nonetheless a pupil carrying a tie and carrying just a little briefcase. Two years later, after we went again to Minnesota, Bob Zimmerman had turn into Bob Dylan. And the promoter stated, ‘Do not forget that humorous little man who adopted you round a few years in the past…’” 

Todd Haynes 

Will Timothée Chalamet’s efficiency eclipse the six actors who performed Dylan in I’m Not There in 2007? That movie’s director defined why musicians are ripe for the biopic therapy: 

“I feel it has a lot to do with the large footprint that these artists made. In every case they conjure up a really particular time and place. Musically and culturally they mirrored the contradictions and potentialities and specificities of the instances wherein they lived. They encourage an even bigger story than simply the music itself, although the music is the place it begins.”

Larry ‘Ratso’ Sloman

Author and musician Sloman entered Dylan’s orbit across the time of the Rolling Thunder Revue within the mid-70s as he remembered in 2019: 

“After I first did a chunk on Bob for Rolling Stone about Blood on the Tracks, he favored it a lot he invited me out on the Rolling Thunder tour to cowl it. I realised that others look upon these individuals as demigods, and so they’re simply regular human beings, the identical foibles and wishes and insecurities as all of us have. In all probability the larger you’re the extra insecurities. I discovered that the way in which to work together with Bob is to deal with him like a standard human being. In reality, generally I might even make enjoyable of him in a good-natured approach.”
