For me the best part of making a movie is writing the screen play. The first time I saw this movie I thought, my dear god, Bob Dylan has take one of his songs and put a movie to it. It was like they were acting out one of his songs. I should have liked this movie and I did, but I did not know why.
I remember as a kid listening to my father’s record collection. I remember listing to Bob Dylan’s albums Blood on the Tracks and Knocked and Loaded. I loved listing to this mans voice. Later on in Junior high I remember one of my teachers referring to Bob Dylan as a poet. This inspired me to go back and to listen to his records again and this time really listen to the words. I asked my Dad why so many people thought that Dylan was so important. I think that my Dad said “it was because he really had something to say.” I asked him, “What was he trying to say?” My dad shrugged his shoulders.
I am not sure, but I think that there is some kind of spell that Dylan weaves in his words. You hear them and you know that you bett
I think of all the charters in this movie Sweetheart is the one that I identify with the most. I spend most of my life looking out for my interests, and for what? The world is ripping it self apart around me and I am futility trying to save my little piece. I feel like I am trying to protect a sand castle at the edge of a raging sea.
er be listing and trying to figure out what he has to say.
What really struck me most about this movie was John Goodman’s performance as Uncle Sweetheart. He really threw him self in as a shameless concert promoter. The Drinking the sweating and the baby blue tux were to die for. He knows that this concert is only on the surface for the victims of the war, a way to bring peace to a country torn by civil war. What Uncle Sweetheart wants is to save his own skin and make a few bucks while trying to do this.
