this machine kills fascists.

In the mood to write :)

So I finally got to watch I’m Not There a few days back. I love it for the surreal black and white shots but hate it for dragging me longer than I could succumb. I am no fan of Bob Dylan, but watched it to see Cate Blanchett’s performance as Jude Quinn; Dylan’s version at the height of his fame. I heard she was brilliant in the movie and now I just have to agree. She mimics him perfectly! The slouch, the pout, the body language, the sneer….for once I thought its Bob Dylan himself. Out of six characters played by different actors, I think she tops it all. That young black actor who played the youngest version of Dylan comes second.

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 finally seven, never create anything, it will be misinterpreted, it will chain you and follow you for the rest of your life.

Damn cool, weh.
