I have been commenting all over Bettermost how I saw "I'm Not There" yesterday. I thought Heath was terrific. There was one scene in a coffee shop where he looked, sounded, and acted exactly like Ennis. It was eerie. Here's a screen cap. All he needs is a piece of apple pie!

Ha, ha, as soon as I saw this post, I checked your profile for the previous posts to find those about I'm Not There. So, Leslie, do you like this film as a whole? I think the reviews I've seen so far have been rather extreme, like it or dislike it, I've not seen one that is in the middle.

Overall I liked it, yes, although I felt like it started to drag in the last third. While Cate Blanchett was excellent, I felt like her "episode" as Jude Quinn started to get repetitious. I didn't entirely understand the Richard Gere episode. The other episodes: Marcus Carl Franklin (Woody Guthrie), Christian Bale (Jack Rollins), and Heath (Robbie Clark) were all excellent with Ben Whishaw, as Arthur Rimbaud, the poet, as the glue that held everything together.
I am glad I saw it in the theater because there is alot going on on the screen. Watching DVDs at home, I find my attention wanders. I am more focused in the theater.

Leslie, thanks for that. As it is not shown here, I will have to wait for DVD. I am really curious about Cate because she is the one garnering almost all praise at the beginning, everyone is dazed by her performance, but I see that the review has somewhat changed a bit, I am beginning to see more reviews that talk about Heath, Christian Bale etc. But the general consensus seems to be people are baffled by Richard Gere's segment.

Apparently, Bob Dylan had a role in Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, directed by Sam Peckinpah. That must explain the Richard Gere part of the movie (somewhat). I never saw that movie and have never been a big Peckinpah fan, so no wonder that part of the movie flew right by me!
Dylan did the music for the movie and the most memorable song was "Knocking on Heaven's Door."
