No Direction Home

Although I really should be writing non-stop these days, I spent around 3 hours (or maybe more) watching Martin Scorsese's documentary on Bob Dylan: "No Direction Home".

I have only recently been listening to Bob Dylan's music, after much resistance... It's funny how something that sounded horrible to me just a couple years ago can actually feel good now! But anyway, even if you don't want to be a fan, you should know about the guy cause he was a hell of a genius... Wikipedia's Bob Dylan page gives a fairly good picture of the artist and his work.

In the movie he actually sounded like a jerk sometimes... Which could be true in some ways because apparently he never really cared what people or other artists thought of him... And that is probably why he became what he is now... The movie was full of old and unreleased footage from Dylan's early performances... The artist's success story progressed in an interesting way... Different people were interviewed and a relatively comprehensive picture of Dylan's life from 1961 to 1966 was presented.

I definitely recommend watching the movie to people who are interested in Dylan's music or folk music in general. Watch the trailer in Apple's site.

The ambiance of the movie made me feel a bit sad though... Looks like all the important things have already happened in the 60's and 70's... Nothing left for us to do! :)
