A Complete Unknown

I went to the cinema to see A Complete Unknown. Timothee Chalamet played Bob Dylan. It is set in New York's vibrant Greenwich Village music scene in 1961. The movie has country and folk music in it. The music was very good.

19 year old Bob Dylan comes with a guitar to sing. He was so good with the guitar. The person that used to play (Woody Guthrie) was a very sick man so Bob went to see him in hospital. He played the song that Woody loved.

Bob Dylan did meet three women and did fall in love, but he was more interested in writing his music and playing his guitar. He also was rude and did not like people telling him what to do. Bob was with an english lady and told everybody This is my girlfriend but she wasn't. She told him I love you and he walked away.

I got the last ticket so I was very happy. After the film I met the manager, who was called Charlie. I had my photo taken with him. To me it was a fantastic movie so I think you must watch it.

On the left, a young white man in shirtsleeves and a lanyard around his neck. Next to him, and much smaller, an older woman wearing Indian clothes. Behind them, occupying the entire wall - part a very large poster showing Bob Dylan playing a guitar.
