  • I'm going to shoot the woman doing the voice-over.

  • brilliant !

  • this movie blows you need to watch "No Direction Home".. its really good!

  • Oh my god!! The woman doing the voice-over has a voice like a kazoo!!

  • Dylan's son Jakob would played the young Bob brilliantly.

  • She looks a litlle like Bob but you see it's a woman playing him and the voice is an amaturistic immitation of Dylan's voice

  • @TheWoud She's not meant to look like Bob Dylan, each actor playing Bob is representing an aspect of his personality, or an particular period of his life, not trying to immitate it. One of the things Tod Haynes wanted with his movie was for the actors to interpret different ideas of Bob. Using a black actor to play Bob illustrates just this. It would be predictable and uninspiring for the director to hire look-a-likes of bob who can sing like him. Why try? There's only one Bob Dylan.

  • Too much banal interview with Cate, not enough of her portrayal of Bob Dylan which didn't look bad.

  • she was perfect!

  • SHE COULD SUCK A BIG FAT CUALK,,,Including all the other actors imitating THE GOD OF LYRICS,,,in this comedy of a movie...I'm not there...I wish I wasn't there to see it...fucken horrible..they should all go to hell...including all these other assholes posting themselfes singing Dylan songs and not labeling the video as a cover but an actual song of him singing it. I FUCKEN HATE PEOPLE! thnx

  • @probateflower Relax, man, it ain't that heavy.

  • @probateflower You do realise that Dylan approved the movie?

  • why does a black kid play bob dylan?

  • I only got about a 3rd of the way through this movie it was so bad. I didn't even get to the part with Cate in it.

  • dont look back is the press conferences not no direction home.

  • Even though I find her remarks sort of peurile, there is no question she played an amazing Dylan.

  • I love Cate and Dylan, but can't accept the emulation knowing it is Cate as Bob.

  • She sucks as Dylan. Just awful. Love her otherwise.

  • Its an outrage I tell you

  • damn i expected this video to have a lot more plastic surgery

  • haha

  • Hi Bob Dylan fans! If you love Bob, I’m sure you’re gonna love me too. I made an apocalyptic song called "A Winter Evening's Tale" which I dedicate to him. This is for all of us folks facing 2011. Do check it out in my channel or check it out in the video response of my fav. video. The song references Pilgrim's Progress, bible, Alice in the wonderland, peter pan, Shakespeare, Revelations, crusades etc. It also depicts eerie classical paintings. Have a creepy and folky new year!

  • She makes a good point. I think schizophrenics are actually geniuses who have been stigmatized, so they lose control of their genius once they're convinced it's insanity (by people who don't fully understand it). I also think Bob could have been a 'schizo' from a medical standpoint, but he was able to avoid stigma, being cold and detached himself, and he was always convinced his insanity was genius, which it really was. Bob had a very strong spiritual connection, as do all schizos.

  • under rated and under appreciated actress

  • I would love to bang Cate Blanchett while she was dressed up like Dylan. Does that make me gay?

  • @Americonflation you sound bi curious, theres porn sights for that kind of thing lol

  • @knelledkismet Really? But she has a vagina? how can i be bi if I want to bang a chik dressed like a dude? I don't get it. I don't want to suck a ding dong or slam a dudes poop hole or anything.

  • @knelledkismet that was a joke, no offense intended

  • @Americonflation Same here dude, and no it's not gay at all. I've been struggling with my fantasy of engaging in coitus with Cate Blanchett dressed as Bob Dylan for years. However, now I feel totally vindicated after finding this movie. I can finally close that chapter of my life and move on to my copulation with Emma Thompson dressed as Nick Nolte fantasy. I'm very optimistic. Take care, and good luck brother!

  • @dtoliaferro

    ... I want you to write my euology...

  • she looks so matured with her hair style

  • I can't really concentrate on this video because, outside my window there are several leaf blowers blowing.... always blowing, even when it doesn't need it.

  • @brybry19871987 I hate those guys too!

  • She is such a breathtaking beauty.....

  • Comment removed

  • Awful. Pointless and .........

  • Cate is a versatile actress and the best in the businees

  • I watched this film because of my mom's respect for Bob Dylan and me being a fan of Heath, but to me Cate was the best in this

  • during the movie, she should've kept the sunglasses on. just awful with the glasses off

  • Utterly excruciating- voice over and all. Dylan's been such a huge part of my life for decades that each and every impersonator I've seen is almost as off to me as it would be to him. I never thought Joan Baez, Dana Carvey, even John Lennon did a particularly good Dylan. Cate Blanchett is a woman named Cate trying to look and sound like a man named Bob- it's like George Reeves putting on glasses and morphing from Superman into Clark Kent. Loved it, but in real life?... who we kiddin'?

  • Split personality disorder is not the same thing as schizophrenia.

  • HAHAHAHA!! sweden and stockholm. hahaha : (

  • that fuckin voice over? its like shes a 5 year old trying to read her first book.

  • Kate is a legend

  • HOLY SHIT Voiceover.. wow

  • not sure who's sexier, katie or the real Bob...guess I'd have sex with both of em

  • @ioriorioriorio haha. loves it.

  • What a stupid idea.

  • i feel like a slow retard listenin to that voice-over.

  • Worse performance ever.

  • "Paris, Sweden, Stockholm and England...?" Um, last time I checked Stockholm was the capitol of Sweden. Has been for some time. Research? And I recently saw an BBC documentary about worldwide architecture. I quote "In one of the smaller cities of Sweden we find the Turning Torso" end quote. Turning Torso is located in Malmö which is the 3rd largest city in Sweden. And while I'm at it, Sweden don't have polar bears walking the streets, not many are blond and very few are named Inga or Sven.

  • @mrErikLundgren yes, Stockholm is the "Summer Night City" and capitol of Sweden

  • @mrErikLundgren wow man. thanks for letting us all know your smarter than somebody! peace

  • @Redbullgiveswgs11 Yeah, you're welcome. I'm such a smart fella! Just had to express myself. But I honestly did not mean to sound like a smart-ass. It's a very Swedish thing to do. To point out that all those common prejudices about Sweden are wrong.

  • @mrErikLundgren No offence, I'm (part) swedish too, though, I don't live there., but there isn't too many swedish citys that is big enough to be called citys. Stockholm is swedens CAPITAL. :D

  • @missZiggy549 We've got over 200 of them from what I just googled. The Swedish definition to what may or may not be called a city. Maybe the American definition of a city is different than the Swedish one. However I just found it funny to call Swedens third largest city "one of the smaller cities". Maybe I'm wrong, if so I will stand corrected.

  • @mrErikLundgren I don't know about the American definition, I'm English.

    In the English languige you can call all the citys smaller than the largest city (most often the capital) 'one of the smaller cities' because it's simply smaller than the largerst city.

    Det här låter konstigt i Svenskan, för vi användet inte språket på det sättet. Även i det engelska språket skulle detta kunna misstolkas. :)

  • @mrErikLundgren and, yo're a VERY talanted singer :)

  • @missZiggy549 Well then, I stand corrected. And thank you for that comment, my songs are free for download if you want them.

  • @mrErikLundgren It's definitely not unusual for Americans to do this. I'm from Manchester in England yet every time i've been to America everyone thinks "England" is just another word for "London" which is actually a city over 5 hours away from me. I also don't know the Queen, have never met her, and don't have scones with jam and butter for breakfast and lunch. In other words, I feel your pain!

  • @mrErikLundgren

    But then again, to be honest, Sweden DOES have a much higher rate of blonde people that, say, Spain. With that in mind, you can understand where the "everyone-is-blonde-myth" comes from.

  • @Toasttoastingfingers But so does the entire northern Europe, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Finland, Netherlands, Poland, Latvia, Estonia etc. So, no I think it's more based from fiction, movies, tv, bad jokes and prejudice, like Swedish blonde James Bond babes or some celebrities coming from Sweden that just happened to "be" blonde.

  • What the f

  • I think she plays that version of Dylan better than he did himself!

  • @djbarryiii uhhhhh...no.

  • She MURDERED that performance! My favorite actress along w/ Tilda Swinton. ^_^

  • she is friggin flawless

  • A bit gimmicky, if ya ask me.

  • Cate Blanchett is the best actress of her generation; Hollywood doesn't deserve her. Wish she makes more indie films.

  • why they have woman play dilan?hes a guy right?

    i though heath would play

  • @AntiGDYB I guess you didn't watch the movie.. all of the main characters are Bob Dylan.

  • Blanchett was nominated for her first Australian Film Institute Award as Best Leading Actress for this role but lost out to Pamela Rabe in The Well. She did,

  • sucks

    

  • Shes so. Fucking. Hot.

  • @ThaWhiteMaori Hell yeah she is!

  • 0:01 to skip ads

  • so gay im sorry

  • they couldnt find a man to play him

  • @34thStreetHoodNigga2 They found 8. She's the 9th Dylan.

  • @34thStreetHoodNigga2 it was to show that dylan was somewhat fem in style in the stage of his fame that she plays, I read. Wooo

  • she's nothing like Cagney... :))

  • Ppl need to watch the Special Features and see what this movie actually is based on before watching it. Otherwise, I would never have understood and just been confused. Once I knew that each character reflected a piece of Dylan's life or the fictions he used to tell the press, it was perfectly clear! I loved it. I suppose a true die-hard Dylan fan would get it because they know his history and would recognize the stories.

  • the announcer is so fcking annoying!!!! STOP THAT NOW! :))

  • i love how she says those things

  • she dosent look like dylan it sucks

  • where the fuck are all the original bob dylan videos??? im going nuts! youtube blows sweaty mexican balls!

  • @SeagullsDiarrhea agreed

  • I'm afraid Dylan has been purged from youtube, you'll have to go to google video and watch them on weird japanese sites.

    And this has literally only to bob dylan as far as i can tell. I have no trouble finding anything else.

  • Snooze boring ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ self pontifacting "actors" going on and on and on

  • This is far and away the most bizarre thing on YouTube...

    Why not choose Gary Coleman to be Bob Dylan while we're at it?

  • WHAT HAPPENED!?

    Were are all the wonderful bob dylan-videos that used to be on youtube?!

    Makes me really depressed...

    Some kind of copyright issue?

  • hahaha

  • she's amazing...a great actress and a stunning beauty

  • she's amazing...a great actress and also a stunning beauty

  • next step: Cate Blanchett playing Mick Jagger. why not?

  • you guys gotta be kidding. she`s absolutely perfect in this film.

  • SCO SESSI? fuck this chick

  • I loved Kates oscar nominated performance and the film. The irony, for me, was a woman playing Dylan who has such a small view of female writers. His crap about the entire English language not producing one major female poet still reeks after decades. His sexist, savage parody of Bobbie Gentry's brilliant ,'Ode to BillieJoe' (Clotheslinge Saga)  saw the dark, cruel energy of his great gifts.

  • @danielrdrown Hmmmmmmm --- man, you raise a good point here: Dylan as a sexist when it comes to his view of English-Speaking-Writing-Perfo­rming "Poets". U may have a point here, but why not simply WRITE in Clear Language WHO, of the female gender, of whatever century [a Writer, published] can approach Shakespeare, Frost, Dylan, Pound. I mean, I personally cannot think of one. If you have a name, OK: WHO? For right now, Dylan wins by default. CheckMate. ~ttt~

  • @tomthumbtoo Plath, Dickinson, Rich,Brooks, Sexton, Woof. All major poets in my view in spite of the fact that they lived as second and third class citizens. Sylvia Plath 1961" Oh God I am not like you in your vaucous black." "Stars stuck all over, bright stupid confetti"

  • @danielrdrown Emily Dickinson, definitely. Bravo, Bueno Amigo. Actually, what I think, from the little I have put my attention to this subject, the REAL Movers & Shakers --- who happen to be women, in this lifetime --- are alive Right Now & in their teens & twenties & probably Latino or Black: Look For NEW Poets THERE! "Free at Last, Free at Last --- Great God Almighty, Free at Last:" -- But it aint Kate Blanchet, by ANY stretch of the imagination. --- & I DO hope Dylan sues & wins. ~ttt~

  • @tomthumbtoo As far as a female singer songwriters, I believe Joni Mitchell deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Dylan.

  • @danielrdrown Daniel: Absolutely --- I agree Totally with you --- Joni Mitchell's songs of the '60's just get better with age. Plus her later work [for instance, "Bad Dreams Are Good"] are just as inspired & the writing as assured anything Dylan penned. Dylan has complexities & contradictions in his work that Joni Mitchell never needed or wanted [i.e. his "Saved" period & the Gospel group he formed to sing it]. Still, she has a great Power of insight. & her piano work is unequaled. ~ttt~

  • It's funny that she talks about escaping the physical, because she does exactly the same thing.

  • She is NOT Bob Dylan. She is a woman trying to act like a man. If I were Bob Dylan, I would be really angry that a woman was cast to play me. It is an insult for women who have loved Bob.

  • The person doing the voiceover sounds like she has a grade three reading level. Or is she just really high. Wtf.

  • Should have left out the tobacco drug use. No use promoting a weapon of mass destruction.

  • so freakin cool

  • She was the only good part of that movie, in my opinion.

  • I love Cate...I thought she should've won Best Supporting Actress for I'm Not There. Strangely enough, I didn't much care for her performance in The Aviator (for which she did win Best Supporting Actress)

  • I thought it was stupid that Bob was played by a woman when I first heard about this movie. Well she really impressed me, amazing actress is all I can say

  • sweden and stockholm? haha

  • @benschlo Haha, the ignorance.

  • lol@bob for getting played by a british woman

  • australian*

  • Comment removed

  • @Amakisongs she's australian man, like me, lives a few suburbs away.... she was brilliant.

  • @Amakisongs RE: DON'T LOOK BACK: So, NOW! we can see why Dylan HATED that film, because it was a lie, told by an idiot, full of sound & fury, signifying Nothing: For me, in'67, it was quite revealing of the crazy twisted path he had to walk, to make a living wage, writing & singing. BUT: Dylan saw all this Idiocy coming, with, "Spokesman of a Generation." critics claiming he wrote "Protest Songs": & 45 years later: Whores like Blanchett, sucking on his Celebrity. He should sue. ~ttt~

  • @tomthumbtoo Why did Dylan take the time to slam Gentry's brilliant 'Ode Billie Joe'? There seems to have been some raw pleasure in the savage parody of 'Clotheline Saga'. Gentry could not win on both ends. Former boyfriend, Jim Ford ,years later, claimed HE had written it. Her rough drafts are housed at the Un. Of Mississippi in the Faulkner room. I've seen them all and its obvious the work is hers..

  • wow thats .... different..

  • She deserved an academy award. It was really a brave thing to do and she was great !

  • whatever.

  • Her performance will stand the test of time. It's already listed by Total Film (a film publication) to be one of the best of all time and yet another example of this actress's genius. Cate is such a brilliant actor her performances transcend awards at this point.

  • This film, among many things, will always stand as a testament to what "Across the Universe" could have been - A film that not only respects the original material but is actually clever and worthy of it. BRAVO Todd Haynes!

  • @TimosDemos I thought Across the Universe was good, look past it as a Beatles flick and observe the film making, the use of the projector in strawberry fields forever was AWESOME

    Also they are two very different things, why look at Phil Ochs and say "he's the political songwriter that bob dylan should have been." It's the same thing: silly.

  • she's so sexy

  • ugh. this voice-over is awful.

  • @noapologiesnoregrets boy, i hope dylan got some $ out of this. uh, Kate B. makes me sick. ~ejw~

  • @tomthumbtoo Blanchett is pretty great. Very intelligent and she did a wonderful job in the movie. I referred not to her but to the unnerving squaky vo.

  • yes the voice is most certainly awful

  • yes

  • yes

  • @noapologiesnoregrets "I try to read something but it makes me sick hearing my own voice - that's why I have to screeeeeam ...screeeeam" read that imitating that voice :-D

  • I just saw this movie and it was good, I thought Cate was awesome!

  • I didn't like that movie but she was amazing. She nailed all of his nuances.

  • Vai ser linda assim lá na minha casaaa!

  • haha he was touring in sweden AND stockholm,,, what a joke

  • She´s a babe!

  • Love & Hate relationship? It's way more complex than just love and hate man.

  • bad and nothing to se

  • She is so right about his "incarnations", it gives me chills.

  • in sweden and stockholm... hmmm?

  • I really had no idea, while I was watching the movie, bob dylan was portrayed by cate blanchett!

  • I gotta an idea for a Hollywierd director-----Gerard Depardieu in the life story of Jackie Kennedy Onassis or how about Sly Stallone in The Sarah Palin Story !  Hee !

  • The best bob dylan portrayed in that movie

  • The "Artisan" News Service announcers are utterly amateurish and lame.

  • She is great (and bob too)

    bravo le cinéma.

  • she really made the film for me

  • Why does the narrator speak like a retard?

  • hahaha stockholm is IN Sweden

  • that was a well good film, cate blanchett was well good playing bob dylan

  • Comment removed

  • lol "Paris, Sweden, Stockholm and England"

  • She means its like discovering something marvellous and ore inpsireing a ritious etc, not that he's work is evil like what was actually in Pandoras Box. Its a figure of speech which is incorrectly used a lot, because Pandora was sent to punish man. Dont think Dylan has been sent to punish us, lol, he is the greatest imo, xoxoxo

  • She does a better impression of Dylan than Joan Baez does. Have you heard Joan? For all her closeness to Dylan and all that touring she did with him, her 'impression' comes across as more of a parody.

    While Dylan may've gotten into Joan Baez, Kate Blanchett got into the soul of Bob Dylan.

  • Cate Blanchett.

    Is there any role she couldn't do?

    Love ya Cate!!

  • Theres so many weird and aggressive messages here, i think i'll just throw in a word: Cate Blanchett did an amazing job as the main figure of Dylan, and her way of thinking here is the exact same one we first felt when we began listening to Dylan. We love him because his music speaks to us without him meaning it to speak to us. Pandoras box, who cares? Dylans music enchants us all, and there is no denying it! Robert Allen Zimmerman forever<3

  • This is what bob was talking about when he said "i'm glad i'm not me" People make him out to be some magical person with multiple personalities but really he just chose to change his music at different points in his life, depending on what he was feeling. I dont know what the hell she's talking about with pandoras box... that was just stupid.

  • do you actually know what's pndoras box ? she is just saying that once you start listening to bob you can't stop, and you discovered diferent types of music

  • Yes, I know what pandora's goddamn box is. It doesn't make sense because bob's music doesn't explore every emotion... or music style whatever. Just because he sang country, rock and folk doesn't mean he's covered every kind of music! He said he's an ice-t fan, he should put out a rap album! Autotune can make him sound like he did 30 years ago!!!1!!

  • yeah, whatever. she's better actress than talker, ahah

  • She probobly means that when she listn to Bob Dylan, is that all the emotion she feels, I don't know!

    sorry bad English, come from Norway

  • what the hell is she talking about? she's trying to find something that isn't there...so typical of hollywood

  • Howcome she mentions Sweden twice? Stockholm is the capital of Sweden... :-p

  • homely, but a good actress
