I surely can't be the only one to be simultaneously both confused and amazed by I'm not There -- the bio-pic wrapped in a metaphorical surrounded by in-jokes of Bob Dylan in which six different people play various aspects of his life, personality, and topics. The best moments for me were all about Cate Blanchett's portrayal of Dylan. Yes, Galadriel the Elf Queen as Dylan. Example: Dylan hanging out with Allen Ginsburg, and screaming up at a statue of Jesus on the cross "I liked your early work better." Everything -- the dialog, the names, the props, characters, sets and of course music point back to Dylan's life and songs. You'll go crazy trying to figure it all out. My advice: go see the film, and turn off your mind and keep your toes tapping. Then come home and read about Dylan in Wikipedia.
