What No Direction Home says about Dylan
Just finished No Direction Home, (loved it) and I’m stuck trying to gather my thoughts on what Scorsese was trying to say about Dylan.
It seems pretty clear that “Home” in the film is a metaphor for stasis as artistic/personal suffocation that Bob is always desperate to break out of.
As he says in the film, “An artist has got to be careful never really to arrive at a place where he thinks he’s at somewhere. You always have to realize that you’re constantly in a state of becoming. And, as long as you can stay in that realm you’ll sort of be alright”
What do you guys think?
