“Don’t give up. I mean, try your best. You’ve done something. You’ve actually created something on the screen that’s there and you should be proud of that. It’s physically there now the emotional part will eventually materialize. Cough it up, cough it up gang, cough it up. It actually exists. Which is important. Because pictures are important. You’ve actually tried, you’ve tried very hard. And the trying shows. I want to thank you for trying. And I want to thank you for presenting this thing which evidently comes from deep inside your possible gut. And it has effected our soul in places we don’t realize right now it’s going to take time to seep in, seep out. And um it’s it’s uh it’s really quite an attempt. It’s been attempted and it’s, um, success is around the corner. Thank you. For that experience.”

Yes I know about the other one. Yes I’ve seen it and yes it’s better. For some reason though this movie moved me. I don’t know anything about Bob Dylan. Never been a fan (don’t like his voice) but what I appreciated about the film is the way they showed him constantly working. I haven’t written anything in months. I’ve pushed it off, saying to myself ”what’s the point, nobody wants this, nobody needs this”. Seeing him push ahead and not be bogged down by what people wanted from him was inspiring as hell to me. So many people tried to box him in and keep him from experimenting with his art, which to me is the death of an artist. We’re meant to try. That’s all just try. Even if it will be a complete failure and laughed at, the act of trying is what makes art beautiful. I thought it was an ok movie. But seeing someone trying really hit me and me me realize that I need to make shit for me. That’s what Bob did.

a really weird movie. one of those movies where you’re thinking “this movie is fucking weird” while watching, but you’re left with a good feeling when it’s over. what i took from it, considering myself a songwriter, is that you can‘t project onto artists or strive to be like them. everyone’s got their own struggle, sometimes it’s secret. i love domhnal gleeson too, so that makes it even better.

I knew I was going to love this movie just because of the concept and the fact that it’s Kieran culkin and Jesse eisenberg but right now it’s the morning after I saw it and I’m sitting in bed crying thinking about certain things different characters but especially David, Jesse eisenbergs character said
I’ll tear up at a movie every once in a while but this movie really hit me because it is so relevant to how im feeling recently like literally every element of David and Benjis (Kieran culkin) emotional characteristics and their relationship with each other is relevant
My aunt passed away in September and I have been weirdly impacted by it since then and I have been working on controlling anxiety and depression for four years now with minimal progress and those two things, (David’s OCD and anxiety/Benji’s grief) are essentially what lead David and Benji to take this trip together so as we learn more and more about their relationship with each other and their personalities themselves it kept getting more and more personal to an almost unbelievable degree
Theres a point where something happens and David sort of opens up and what he says about not actually being okay but just presenting that he’s okay because he takes his medication and runs and meditates and goes to work then comes home then does it all again that really really hit me
It is such a perfect blend of funny but also deeply serious and emotional so even if it’s not as relevant to you right now I think everyone should see this movie

Epic movie but a perfect trailer on its own that I watch frequently. An art in itself!

The GOAT. Dress it up, up up, down, or down down. He looks incredible in every photo (and he's in on the joke when it's funny and he's in the biggest RRL jeans in history).
