Screen Grabs: Plugging into the raw mystique of young Bob Dylan - 48 hills
Briefly

It's always a little odd when a dramatized biographical film is made about a still-living person. Sometimes they're even 'played' by the person themselves-a bizarre niche of cinema that's encompassed everyone from Audie Murphy and Muhammad Ali to English pop star Robbie Williams.
Those who were around in the Sixties saw him as a kind of avatar for all its tumult, articulating their own dissatisfaction with the status quo while taking folk music into a new direction.
His singularity kept him from being bracketed or shelved with any passing fad, making him an almost god-like reference point in understanding many worthwhile musicians that followed.
Unlike nearly all his peers, Dylan never became a nostalgia act. Stubbornly carving out his own path, he remained relevant through continuous evolution in his artistry.
