And because Blanchett handles Dylan's mannerisms so well, the explanations Jude provides are logical....While there is very little meat in the arc (the focus was mainly on Jack's aversion to his old music rather than his feelings for his new music), Bale handles this role rather well.....Haynes uses several different approaches in trying to pin down the iconic rock figure, beginning with an unconventional casting decision..... ...
