Last movie I saw in a theater was probably the 2008 film Shine A Light in an IMAX theater. It faithfully reproduced the live concert experience, by which I mean you were deaf for the next 12 hours.

Maybe that was the point? Did you watch it in theaters? I've read that theater sound makes these audio situations significantly better and that home audio, obviously not as good quality, has difficulty getting dialogue out.

It did not attempt to do a very large portion of his life; just the years roughly 1961-1965. In the beginning he was very much in his folk-music formative years, and as his popularity grew the film depicts his frustration with the fame that he was not prepared for. It culminates at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival where he broke out with band and an electric guitar. Really struck a chord (no pun intended) with me as I was a teenager in 1965 and I distinctly recall the major controversy when he "went electric". The actors all did their own singing and instrument playing. Kudos for not trying to emulate Dylan too closely, but instead doing a resonable facsimile. I give it 4 stars. My only complaint was that much of the audio was much too loud and drowned out a lot of the dialogue; especially when Dylan was doing his trademark mumbling. -- bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
