No Direction Home: Bob Dylan - (Martin Scorsese;2005;UK/USA/Japan)
A documentary that follows Bob Dylan from his childhood to his rise in fame and notorious transition from acoustic folk music to rock.
Through this film I thought how easily it could've been "Dylan," a biopic starring whoever. Instead we get a portrait of a musical genius much more intimate and real. Dylan's interviews and press conferences can't be duplicated for the screen, because you have to see him in his annoyance with the media upfront. The concert footage is undoubtedly excellent. We are also treated to rare videos of his inspirations in Part I. Scorsese's direction is easy to notice through the narrative as well. The best moment comes in the end SPOILERS, where Dylan comes to his concert where he is called "Judas." He shakes it off, calling the man a liar, and what does he say to his band mates? "Play it loud."SPOILERS END
