| Plot: | Six individuals represent the spirit of Bob Dylan in various stages of his career and personal life. A young man named Arthur is in an interrogation room, he who is providing indirect answers to unseen interrogators. Woody Guthrie is a young black youth who is riding the rails in 1959 making his way to Hollywood to become a singing sensation, until his past catches up with him. In the early 1960's, folk singing sensation Jack Rollins rebels against folk music, accusing it of becoming the establishment against which its protest songs rally. Rollins embarks on a new passion in the 1970's. Actor Robbie Clark portrays Rollins in a 1965 movie entitled "Grain of Sand", the public and critical reception to which begins to affect his marriage to his French wife, Claire. Jude Quinn, a singer in the mid 1960's, begins to outrage his folk music fans by moving away from the roots of the music which made him famous. And outlaw Henry McCarty, better known as Billy the Kid, with who Rollins is obsessed, deals with the destruction of Riddle Township by his adversary, Sheriff Pat Garrett. |

Goofs
|
DATE: During the Los Angeles home sequences, Claire's/Robbie's telephone number has a 310 area code, which was introduced November 2, 1991. The area code should be 213. DATE: The phone at the Peacocks house is too modern for the time - the cord going into the handset had a clip in cord versus being attached directly to the piece. CHAR: During the sequence when Robbie and Claire buy the motorcycle, Robbie gets out of the car to sit on the motorcycle and even though he locks the car, he leaves the headlights on. Revealing mistakes: Right after Jude leaves the Beatles and they are chased by fans, you can see the last person in the mob slow down immediately when they're behind the trellis. |
Quotes
|
Arthur: I accept chaos. I don't know whether it accepts me. Jude: [to a crucifix] How does it feel? [last lines] Billy the Kid: It's like you got yesterday, today and tomorrow, all in the same room. There's no telling what can happen. Jude: How can I answer that if you got the nerve to ask me? Reporter: Jude! One word for your fans? Jude: Astronaut. Jude: Look at all these medicines! Hey man what are those? Man At Party: Mandy's, make you sleep. Jude: Sleep? aint sleepin'... Sleep's for dreamers. I haven't slept in thirty days, man. Takes a lot of medicine to keep up this pace. Jude: God, I'm glad I'm not me. Robbie Clark: [pointing to a billboard of Jack Rollins] It's not about me anymore, it's all about him. Jude: Doesn't really matter, you know, what kind of nasty names people invent for the music. But, uh, folk music is just a word, you know, that I can't use anymore. What I'm talking about is traditional music, right, which is to say it's mathematical music, it's based on hexagons. But all these songs about, you know, roses growing out of people's brains and lovers who are really geese and swans are turning into angels - I mean, you know, they're not going to die. They're not folk music songs. They're political songs. They're already dead. You'd think that these traditional music people would - would gather that mystery, you know, is a traditional fact, you know, seeing as they're all so full of mystery. Keenan Jones: And contradictions. Jude: Yeah, contradictions. Keenan Jones: And chaos. Jude: Yes, it's chaos, clocks, and watermelons - you know, it's - it's everything. These people actually think I have some kind of, uh... fantastic imagination. It gets very, uh, lonesome. But traditional music is just, uh... it's too unreal to die. It doesn't need to be protected. You know, I mean, in that music is the only true valid death you can feel today, you know, off a record player. But like everything else in great demand, people try to own it. Has to do with, like, uh, the purity thing. I think its meaninglessness is holy. Everybody knows I'm not a folk singer. Claire: I would like to know what is at the center of your world. Robbie Clark: Well, I'm 22, I guess I would say me. Billy the Kid: People are always talking about freedom. Freedom to live a certain way, without being kicked around. Course the more you live a certain way, the less it feel like freedom. Me, uhm, I can change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else. I don't know who I am most of the time. Jude: [looking up at a giant Jesus on the cross] Do your early stuff! Arthur: Y'know, it's nature's will. And I'm against nature. I don't dig nature at all. Jude: Yeah it's chaos, it's clocks, it's watermelons, it's everything. Arthur: Seven simple rules of going into hiding: one, never trust a cop in a raincoat. Two, beware of enthusiasm and of love, both are temporary and quick to sway. Three, if asked if you care about the world's problems, look deep into the eyes of he who asks, he will never ask you again. Four, never give your real name. Five, if ever asked to look at yourself, dont. Six, never do anything the person standing in front of you cannot understand. And finlly seven, never create anything, it will be misinterpreted, it will chain you and follow you for the rest of your life. [first lines] Narrator: There he lies. God rest his soul, and his rudeness. A devouring public can now share the remains of his sickness, and his phone numbers. There he lay: poet, prophet, outlaw, fake, star of electricity. Nailed by a peeping tom, who would soon discover... Jude: A poem is like a naked person... Narrator: - even the ghost was more than one person. Arthur: ...but a song is something that walks by itself. Hobo Joe: [Woody shows Hobo Joe and Hobo Moe his guitar case which says 'THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS'] You wouldn't be stashing no weapons in there, son? Woody Guthrie: No sir, not in any literalized way. Jude: You know, saying 'cause of peace', it's like saying, 'hunk of butter', you know, I don't want you to listen to anybody who wants you to believe is dedicated to the hunk and not the butter. Reporter: I'm not sure I follow. Jude: You know, I didn't come out of some cereal box. There's no one out there who's gonna be converted by a song. Arthur: Woody Guthrie was dead, Little Richard was becoming a preacher, so whether you're a folksinger or a Christian, Rock'n'Roll was the devil. Jude: People actually think I have some kind of a fantastic imagination. It gets very lonesome. Jack Rollins: [looking up in the sky] It's hard not to go to Hell.There's so many distractions,so many influences.Start walking right and pretty soon,there's someone gonna drag you down.Sure as we're living,sure as we're born,look up,look up, [there are three angels in the sky with trumpets] Gabriel blows his horn. Allen Ginsberg: [to Jude] Maybe you sold out to God. Jude: [to an angry, knife-wielding busboy in his hotel room] Either be groovy or leave, man! Arthur: Silence, experience shows, is what terrifies people most. Woody Guthrie: [the jump cut into this scene occurs after Hobo Joe or Hobo Moe has, apparently, asked the 11-year-old African American boy who call himself Woody Guthrie where he's from] Well, Missouri, originally. A little town called Riddle. Hobo Joe: [the rest of this dialogue is an almost exact paraphrase of dialogue from the 1957 film, A Face in the Crowd] Uh, is there really a town called Riddle? Woody Guthrie: Well, tell you the flat truth, it's just a sort of a whatchamacallit, a... Hobo Joe: ...A composite. Woody Guthrie: Compost heap's more like it. |
