I'm Not There is a 2007 biopic—sort of—based on the life and different personae of Bob Dylan. Directed by Todd Haynes, the film uses six different actors (one of whom is a woman) to portray him, all playing Dylan at different roles in his life. Woody Guthrie (Marcus Carl Franklin) is a black 11-year old boy traveling across America trying to find his place. He represents Dylan's Mysterious Past and lies. His name comes from Dylan's idol of the same name. Jack Rollins (Christian Bale) represents Dylan's folk era. Done in the style of a documentary looking back, this section chronicles Rollins' rise to fame and his ultimate disillusion with it. Jack later becomes Pastor John, showing Dylan's exploration into Christianity. Jude Quinn (Cate Blanchett) is Dylan in his rock stage: abrasive, fragile, and drug-addicted. Haynes wanted the role to be played by a woman to capture Dylan's felineness in this period of his life. Robbie Clark (Heath Ledger) is a film star that plays Jack Rollins in the film Grain of Sand. However, this section focuses mainly on his relationship with Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg). He displays Dylan's attitude in relationships and his misogyny. Billy the Kid (Richard Gere) is an outlaw in the bush - the little town of Riddle. He represents Dylan in our times. Arthur Rimbaud (Ben Whishaw) seems to be in a court scene. Not really having a storyline of his own, he pops in and out throughout the film with small sections of script, mostly actual Dylan quotes. Named for the poet. | |

Captain Ersatz / No Celebrities Were Harmed: The Dylans obviously, but other characters count too, such as Alice Fabian (Joan Baez), Coco Rivington (Edie Sedgwick), and Claire (who is a Composite Character of Dylan's wives/girlfriends). | |

Recursive Reality | |
| I'm Not There / int_352151a3 | comment |
Recursive Reality: Jack Rollins is the "real life" version of Jude Quinn (as evidenced by his appearance in "her" yearbook). The story featuring Billy the Kid is implied to take place within the mind of Jude Quinn, too (Pat Garret is played by the same actor who plays the British reporter who harasses Jude/Jack). Accentuated in the end when Billy the Kid finds Woody Guthrie's guitar on the boxcar train. | |

Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Jude Quinn, big time. Deconstructed, of course, as he is in fact a very erudite and intelligent person, but his drugs and alcohol abuse, and his mainly jerkass attitude, has left him as a really fried mad artist. This is true for the mid-60s Dylan, as he was constantly using drugs and going to clubs, and meeting people like Edie (Andy Warhol's diva), and Brian Jones, and The Beatles. | |

| I'm Not There / int_e91cc721 | comment |
In the Style of: The Jack Rollins segment is in the style of various Dylan documentaries, such as No Direction Home by Martin Scorsese. The Jude Quinn segment is directed in the style of Fellini's 8½. The Robbie Clark segment was inspired by the films of Jean-Luc Godard (particularly Masculin Féminin). Richard Gere's was shot in the style of Sam Peckinpah's "hippie westerns" of the 1960s. Don't forget that Dylan appeared in Peckinpah's Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, besides composing "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". | |
