Um Completo Desconhecido

I went to the cinema today to watch this film because I'm a fan of Bob Dylan's work. The film exceeded my expectations in the best way possible. Initially, I thought it would be a 6 out of 10 at best, but I realized it surpasses other movies about musical icons like Freddie Mercury, Elton John, or Ray Charles.

The movie is over two hours long, but I didn't even notice how the time flew by. It felt like I was witnessing a part of someone's remarkable and incredible life on screen, and I didn't want it to end. The performances by the cast were absolutely brilliant-beyond praise. Edward Norton surprised me for the first time in a long while, as did Elle Fanning. Timothée Chalamet portrayed Bob Dylan in an incredibly captivating way. What impressed me the most was that he sang continuously without any noticeable flaws. The way he performed was so convincing that, for me, even Rami Malek didn't portray Freddie Mercury as well as Chalamet portrayed Dylan.

The cinematography was solid, though there's not much more to say about it. The plot was engaging and atmospheric, capturing the emotions of the era and the characters' experiences, how they changed, and what influenced them. The music, of course, was magnificent-it's Bob Dylan, after all. Timothée Chalamet's efforts to speak and sing like Dylan were astonishing.

I haven't seen a great film in a year, not since the release of Dune: Part Two, where Chalamet also played the lead. What an amazing coincidence. I hope Timothée becomes one of the greatest actors of the new generation, avoiding the trap of becoming a "plastic" performer. Instead, I hope he continues to improvise and strive for excellence in his roles. Good actors are becoming rare, just like good films.

I'm giving my rating right after watching it, though I might adjust it later when my emotions settle. I definitely plan to rewatch the movie to notice things I may have missed the first time. This is undoubtedly one of the best films of the year. I'm so glad I saw it in theaters and highly recommend it to everyone. 9/10.
