In his first in-depth interview about his Bob Dylan movie, director James Mangold goes deep on Chalamet's 'acting brilliance' and much, much more
, the subject of the film asked him a pointed question. “The first time I sat down with him,” Mangold says, “Bob said, ‘What’s this movie about, Jim?’ I said, ‘It’s about a guy who’s choking to death in Minnesota, and leaves behind all his friends and family and reinvents himself in a brand new place, makes new friends, builds a new family, becomes phenomenally successful, starts to choke to death again — and runs away.
And not only that, but I think one of the things Timmy is so brilliant at playing in the movie and something I think Bob related to me, is a true feeling — which is that it’s also about, how does one deal with that burden? How you yourself, if you have this power, aren’t even sure exactly where it’s coming from — you’re trying to protect it and cherish it, but you’re also not sure if it will lift you or destroy you.
It’s so funny. You make me think about it. I’d never thought about it. I was probably the one who was talking like Bob soonest because I was spending time with him and trying to remember — because the syntax of the way Bob says things even now is so particularly Bob, and I was really trying to capture that in what we were writing. I think Timmy also grows.
Someone spotted Timothée holding a letter from Johnny Cash on set, and it sparked a lot of speculation. Just to be clear, is there a Johnny Cash character in this movie? She’s one of the main characters in the movie. She is an established figure in folk music, and when young Bob arrives, there is an intense and instantaneous fascination and attraction with each other, but also a slightly competitive edge between them. Also just real admiration. There are sparks both warm and fiery that exist throughout the movie between them.
