Newport and that era where Dylan was playing both acoustic and electric at concerts. It was quite interesting and revealing to see the dumbass questions reporters were asking him. Honestly, he showed some real patience; if it had been me, I'm sure I would have reacted more flagrently than Dylan.
It was also neat to hear Al Kooper and others talk about the recordings and all.
I like Dylan and I know some don't but watching this film reinforced what a sheer talent he was/is.

...that you saw the doc and dug it.
Scorsese is an intensely musical guy and you can feel the passion in the filmmaking.
Dylan is a fascinating subject and this film does a great job of capturing the way things felt at the time. Even if you don't like Dylan you gotta respect the talent.
The movie shows BD as major artist in every way, captured by another major artist.
Yeah, no wonder Dylan "disappeared" after those inane press conferences. Talk about clueless...interesting to see the way Dylan handled the reporters as oppsed to the Beatles, there was definitely strength in numbers for the Fab 4.
A fine film about an important subject..... - danj 22:18:36 07/06/06 (1)
Arguably the greatest popular music figure of the late 20th century.
Forget Elvis, Dylan is the true king of rock and roll.

  is pretty good too ( aired on PBS a few years back )
  and Scorsese's "New York, New York" plays homage to 1940's NY Jazz
